Ian MacKaye & Henry Rollins Releasing Shelved 1977 Cramps Album Produced By Alex Chilton

Yeah, I had to read it a few times to make sure it was real too...
"Days later, all the tracks were at Infrasonic Sound, an excellent studio in Nashville, Tennessee for mastering under the careful watch of engineer Pete Lyman. I sat for hours and listened as Pete coaxed the frequencies to be at their best. The results were two six song sides of the Cramps, extracted from a 1977 amber block, de-fossilized and ready to be inflicted upon the ears of those who would rather Stay Sick and Turn Blue than hope for sunny weather."

I understand the author's intent here, but I take issue with that phrasing. No frequency is inherently good or bad (except 4khz—that shit sucks!), the mastering engineer is merely...oh, never mind.

Archive.is has become problematic because the site owner is using it to DDOS their enemies (the captcha page executes javascript in your browser that spams their website), or people they consider their enemies.
They've also been caught editing content on the sites they archive.

I don't have a good alternative suggestion aside from the pages archive.org (unrelated) can successfully copy -- but we've got to treat archive.is and its various mirrors as one of the bad guys.
It sucks.
