I’m very impressed by the look and content of the new blog, VicRuggiero.com. Far superior to the MySpace blogs the band keep themselves, this new site features a complete discography, a bootleg trading area, as well as Vic’s original esoteric MySpace posts. And fear not, although Ruggiero does not run the site himself, it has the Vic seal of approval.
I plan on sharing a few of my Ruggiero Bootlegs with the site’s webmaster, Spaz. But I encourage anyone out there to share their hissy tapes with the rest of us via the bootleg section. Nothing to share? No worries two sets are already available for download.
As for the Discography section- I was surprised to find two Slackers songs that I had never heard before- not new mind you, this discography goes waaay back.
So who’s going to step up and make a similar page for Slackers live sets? Hmmm… that is a good idea…
Oh! and it’s got videos. Here’s my favorite song by Ruggiero:

Well if you’re in the mood for Dub then I’ve got the links for ya:
First things first, The Drastics have released another digital 7″ This time, hairstyles are the target of our favorite dub killers- in the new cut, Vibes, Love Music + Jheri Curl feat MC Zulu. You can check it out on their MySpace page. But you should also take a gander at their new blog, which is very pleasing to the eyes- and ears.
Next up, I’ve got a video of Dubmatix remixing John Brown’s Body, which was created by numerous animators from around the world. John Brown’s Body is an Easy Star Records project that is getting the full remix treatment. You can read more here.

Finally, a site that applies Dub and Remix techniques to the art of YouTubing. Thru-You.com creates music videos by chopping and splicing existing musical pieces on YouTube. I think of it as “found dub.” You’ll think of it as “neato.”
