Any self-respecting creative music fan worth his or her salt needs to bookmark Peter Gannushkin’s massive folio of photographs compiled at Downtownmusic.net posthaste. I know next to nothing about the man, other than we may have strolled obliviously past each other at a number of shows. He’s certainly been busy assembling a visual record of the eponymous scene. I’ve been a regular visitor to the site for months & count some 570+ separate musician entries in his archive. At the very least, a great place to put faces to names. The tantalizing link to Ivan Shokin’s ‘diary’ makes me wish that I’d stuck with my Russian language class in high school, though. The curse of being a linguistically challenged American!
