About
Howdy, I’m Kopper. For over 20 years I’ve been a punk/rock’n'roll music fan, promoter, ’zine publisher, writer, reviewer, photographer, organizer, record store worker, shit disturber, scenester, DJ, webmaster, and now, a “garage punk” audioblogger and podcaster.
GaragePunk.com was originally set up back in June 2001 as the new home for my weekly radio program, The Wayback Machine. Later, it got a lot of worldwide exposure because of the GaragePunk.com Forums message board, which attracted a LOT of traffic to this site. Enough traffic, in fact, that I could begin selling banner ads to help pay for the rising hosting fees involved. After three years of having nothing more than a goofy pic and a “Pick Your Poison” menu on the root directory of GaragePunk.com, I realized I should do something more with the site, so I decided to turn it into an audioblog. Meanwhile, my friend and next-door neighbor, Bill, thought it would be cool to start a “Pirate Radio” podcast on this site, and feature a rotating schedule of various garage/punk/rock’n'roll programs hosted by different people, kinda like a real radio station. This was all done with two major goals in mind: First and foremost, we wanted to try to do more to expose the music that we think is good (as well as featured on my radio show) but that most people have never heard simply because they don’t seek it out, have never been exposed to it before, or can’t hear my show for one reason or another. Secondly, to encourage each and every one of you to support your local independently owned record stores, mailorder sites, and especially the indie labels that produce the vast majority of music highlighted here.
Podcasting is a term coined in 2004 when the use of RSS syndication technologies became popular for distributing audio content for listening on mobile devices and personal computers.
