Begin the begin...

Hello, and welcome to The Cutout Bin. The concept here is to post mp3s of hopelessly obscure music, using the power of the internet to give it the exposure it has so cruelly been denied. Oh, who am I kidding- the only people who will ever see this are my friends and the band members who stumble across their own names. Anyway, here are the ground rules:

1. If anyone objects to their music being posted here, let me know and I will delete it. Simple as that- no need for a lawyer, you aren't getting my dog anyway.

2. The focus is on obscure music- most never commercially released, or at least no longer in print. I'm not trying to take money out of anyone's pocket.

3. I'm also focusing on bands I either knew personally, or at least saw live.

4. A lot of this stuff is being transferred from cassette, so fidelity will be lacking at times. If this causes undue bother, feel free to pick up a Britney Spears CD and shoot yourself.

5. I will attempt to update with a new band weekly.

6. There will be NO rule #6.

7. There will be exceptions to all these rules at some point, save #1.

Enjoy!
