Two men on a mission: Norton Records’ Billy Miller and Midnight Records’ J.D. Martignon. \u00a9www.shakesomeaction.nyc<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When it came down to record labels that catered to the NY garage punk\u00a0world during\u00a0the mid 80s, only two could really claim to being in touch with the scene. Billy Miller and Miriam Linna’s\u00a0Norton Records<\/a> and J.D. Martignon’s Midnight Records<\/a>. These three larger than life folks not only formed the backbone of the small music scene, but in many cases employed many of the die-hard\u00a0fans\u00a0and\u00a0musicians who reveled in it’s world.<\/p>\n

It was therefore bittersweet to hear of J.D.’s passing a\u00a0few days ago. While the man was certainly no saint, he did have\u00a0his hand (wanted or not) in many of the major events of NYC\u00a060’s garage punk scene. For a full recap please go to\u00a0DJ Shimmy’s excellent article\u00a0on J.D.\u00a0and his label a few years back in Bananas fanzine. Part one<\/a> talks about J.D.’s life before Midnight and\u00a0Part 2<\/a> goes into his label’s garage glory years. Its well researched and an interesting window into the life of the man many knew as only\u00a0an irritable, hustling\u00a0record store owner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
