The MRR archive is probably the single most important collection in the field of punk music and I am glad that it has found a (hopefully) permanently safe home.

The MRR archive is probably the single most important collection in the field of punk music and I am glad that it has found a (hopefully) permanently safe home. Would be amazing if Center for Popular Music would digitize the materials - with the green tape and all - and index it for the public. There's so many things there that nobody has probably seen or heard in decades, not to mention letters, notes and other additions along side records and flyers. Also it's a fuzzy feeling to imagine one of my recordings is now laying around in a box in MTSU, waiting for someone to discover it possibly decades after. Support your local libraries and archives and all the librarians and archivists!
