I found this at a record store in Florence, Italy, Wyxmer’s home town. Oddly enough the guy running the shop assured me they were not an Italian band solely based on the name and cover photo. However upon flipping it over and reading the back cover, much to his own surprise he realized that in […]

Strebers – “Ur Led Är…” (1986)
I’m always intrigued by the odd random record appearing in the midst of a “New Arrivals” bin.

Soundgarden – “Lollapalooza 1992” (2019)
