Buzzgrinder

Buzzgrinder is so old in internet years (over nine years online is like 175 years in real life) that you start to forget what happened and just develop some sort of oral tradition. But in lieu of indulging in that antiquated practice, we’ll just say Buzzgrinder was originally born in the woods of eastern Pennsylvania and raised by wolves until the age of 3. Then snakes. Then stink beetles. Then rabid groundhogs came in and took over.

Eventually Buzzgrinder emerged from the wild and was taken in by high society types. Zeppelin rides, cummerbundery, pipe smokery, movietrola watchery and musical revelry ensued. Soon Buzzgrinder became disenfranchised with the high life (just like Patrick Dempsey in that one movie), which led to a few years riding the rails with bindle in tow.

It was this intervening era that introduced Buzzgrinder to troubadours as varied as The Beach Boys, Guided By Voices, Frodus, Johnny Cash, Sunny Day Real Estate, Botch, Buddy Holly, Les Savy Fav, Black Flag, Outkast, Ralph Stanley, Piebald, Jesus Lizard, Lupe Fiasco, The Promise Ring, Pavement, Gram Parsons, The Flaming Lips, Slayer, At the Drive-in, The Kinks, Ted Leo, Grandaddy, Converge, The Beastie Boys and Roger Miller, among others.

At that point, Buzzgrinder decided it was time to finally settle down and become a music blog. This pretty much brings us up to speed. Nowadays, Buzzgrinder stays busy ruining music for everyone all the time.

We might not be the best music blog, but we’re certainly the worst.
