i feel pretty not-worthy enough to present this - but the significance john loder had on underground music is pretty huge. and thought people here would be interested/should know. how many of your lives changed with fugazi's 13 songs? and his work with southern studios/records. from crass/jesus & mary chain/shellac/fugazi/the jesus lizard/les savvy fav... on and on.
http://www.johnloder.blogspot.com i was wayyyyyy wayyyyy wayyyy down the line in people he touched, but cuz of his groundwork i've been able to play my silly rock music in foreign countries. i never met him personally but his legacy is pretty amazing - he helped build an infrastructure that tons of us are playing on now.
