A farewell to ANC, by Sam Sinister.
"Penn-Ohio Underground." That's what we've decided to change the name of our little cause to.
So, why the name change? Well, I've come to realize that "Artless Nonculture" was, for one thing, too hard for people to remember. And, unless you're an obsessive thinker like me, it probably didn't mean anything to you. Just gibberish. "ANC" (for short), was also never meant to be my site, it was meant to be a collective, but as simple as I tried to make this concept, I think the name got in the way just as much as the format.
Blah, blah, blah. Right?
That brings me to my next point. This Blogger thing, while really great for making your own public journal/webzine, is apparently shit for any kind of collaborative effort.
Social networking! That's where it's at! With Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and all these other sites now fusing together in a corporate orgy of providing every Earthy inhabitant with a platform for narcisistic expression, I've decided to get on board!
The Artless Nonculture Anti-Social Network is dead. I've created a new site, and already it's turning out to be a change for the better. We currently have 54 members, and growing.

This site was created for all underground bands, artists, and local mom-n-pop business owners from the Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania region to meet, communicate, and network with each other.
For all fans of underground music, and the subcultures associated with it, to get together and bullshit.
For yet another way to promote your band's shows.
For anyone who isn't in this for money, fame, or ego.
For those who won't kiss ass.
For those who won't take shit.
For those who don't view music as a "business".
For anyone and everyone who is UNDERGROUND BY CHOICE, NOT BY CHANCE.
Come sign up, tell your friends, kill some time, or whatever you want to do with it. It's not just my site, it's your site as well. Mi casa, su casa.
Things you can do with the site:
Make a profile, just like on MySpace and Facebook. You can upload 100 songs (seriously), detailed interests section, profile picture, activity stream, status, blog, etc.
Find and connect with other people and bands from the area.
Post or find upcoming shows and events in the region.
Create and browse member groups based on whatever you want.
Set up an Etsy store.
Play games.
Share ideas in the forums (there's even a classified ads section!)
This site is 100% free, and there's no angle. Just trying to help out the local music scene. Come join us in our conquest.
This site, and the ANC site that came before it, will both remain running as long as people are interested in it. But it will no longer feature new content. We had some good shit on here for a while, but it's time for a change. Come and be a part of the Penn-Ohio Underground.
