Introduction

Welcome.  First off, let me say up front that this blog is in no way connected to the old realskinheads.net website.   However, I am tired, bored, slightly buzzed, and have been wondering why there doesn't seem to be much of anything going on with "the scene" these days.  I know all you damn kids today have the internet.  Am I out of touch, or has everything really gone to shit?  (Answer: It's a trick question, since I know the answer is both.)  Since there doesn't seem to be anything going on with bands, labels, shows, or much of anything else, I thought I'd step up and do my part.  By "my part," I clearly mean bitching about things anonymously on the internet!

One thing I used to appreciated about the old RSN site is that they covered all things skinhead without acting like douchebags... even to the people you always suspected they thought were also douchebags (even if they never came outright and said it).  Way back in those early days, skinheads.net was also more than just a message board, too, and I remember some of the conflicts between the operators of both sites.  This blog is in no way meant to stir up any old tensions, if any exist.  

So what's the point here?  If I'm lazy and unmotivated... there isn't one.  Otherwise, this will be my half-assed attempt at creating a one-stop clearinghouse for all things skinhead (whatever the fuck that means) since I'm too lazy to learn how to make a real website.  I might try to do some interviews (and have a few ideas about where I'd like to start).  I might review some albums.  I might post some old label discographies.  Shit, I might even do something relevant like post upcoming concerts and new label releases.

If you have some ideas, want to make a contribution, or want to mail free shit to me (or get me into a show) for me to review, get in touch at realskinheads.gmail.com.
