no.12. North and south pole

http://www.tumblr.com/blog/northandsouthpole Its one thing I have always been fascinated by is the lengths people would go to to stay in an area so remote and cut off from the rest of the world. mainly the explorers from the early part of last century. Most of this site relates to images and history relating to this region

no.11 Electrohead. -image blog.

http://we-kraft1.tumblr.com Electrohead is a image search site on tumblr, many times I am seraching for images and come across rare stuff which sits up and makes me take notice. Some are like rare photo shots that have remained unseen or pictures from magazines and fanzines long gone.

Blog 3- Cabaret Voltaire-An Overview

Alot of links missing which need to be readded. This site was set up due to facebook groups settings changing, all the images posted by various people are normally lost when the settings are change. this was set up intially to combat that. But the cabaret voltaire tumblr site is now more of a resource than this is. http://cabaretvolt1.blogspot.co.uk

Blog 2-Obscure Alternatives

This is a site which was born out of random video posts on facebook. I realised i was posting faves and as such could not access them all in one place, hence this site

Blog No.1 Album art-reason and design.

http://www.tumblr.com/blog/albumart-reasonandesign This is site which features mostly contributions to Post Punk Discussion group. Which is a facebook group with 1000+ memebers. Mostly the posts relate to music from 1976-1996. As this was the time of my main record buying its seems logical. I try to write from the way of how it was percieved at the time. Many journalists wrtie for the here and now, but i try to review from how it was percieved at the time.

Stratagies

Looking at this web site Its a bit of a mis match of videos and posts relating to various things. Over the years with the advent of facebook I am posting alot of contributing material to various groups. Also I work on the tumblr Network, where I run about 5 blogs. What I am going to use this site for is for articles and videos that dont fall within the certain critieria. For example any post punk videos and such will go straight on the Tumblr network, music's that dont fall within that will go on this site. A few years ago my music was driven very much by Ebay as I used to be a big seller, over the years the site has got to restrictive. At the very point of having 10000s of cds the business stopped, I still have the stock though and will be using tumblr as a main pictorial search. But also on Blogger I will use an excel spreadsheet as means of access to exchanging and selling. Buying and selling is very much a driving force between what i listen to and post. I will make things more streamlined and will post links to my various sites. To gain some order amongst the chaos.
