Discover is an American general audience science magazine launched in October 1980 by Time Inc. It has been owned by Kalmbach Publishing since 2010. (More from Wikipedia)
I quickly learned that there were oodles of articles on rock bands; and this point was driven home to me in 2007 when I read an article in Discover magazine called “You Know Too Much” that praised Wikipedia but started off with: “Despite scads of entries about virtually unknown rock bands . . .” I laughed out loud (and probably blushed) thinking of my own additions to those scads! But there were still some important bands and artists that were not listed. Mostly, I wanted to get some articles written about legendary garage rock and psychedelic rock bands and artists that weren’t yet in Wikipedia.

It was Dara Gould who got me to sign up for Facebook, sometime in late 2009. Not really knowing what to do with Facebook now that I was on it, I made a modest announcement on November 10, 2009:
Coming soon: UNDER-APPRECIATED ROCK BAND OF THE MONTH. An article in Discover Magazine once said that the “beloved, unwieldy” Wikipedia included “scads of articles on virtually unknown rock bands”. I had to laugh out loud since I have done my part to add to those scads! Still, many great bands don’t yet have a Wikipedia article, or even an entry on “Allmusic”: www.allmusic.com. So I will try to remedy that.
