Blog alert: Rip It Up R.I.

Just when you think you've heard it all -- after culling through every volume of Back from the Grave, Teenage Shutdown, Garage Punk Unknowns, Highs in the Mid-Sixties and any number of similar '60s trash comps -- it's nice to read and hear something new from a band of old.  Dedicated record collector Jay Litchfield's current blog, Rip It Up R.I., will cover the diminutive state's vibrant '60s music scene in great detail, and the first installment showcases the underheard and over-the-top Florian Monday & the Mondos, pictured to the left.  Have a look and listen, and don't forget the lampshade on your head.
