wow. you guys really dug deep for some new bands. sharon jones, stone temple pilots, mike snow, rogue wave, the xx. shame. i really thought you would actually dig in a little more than that, Spin. my mistake.
Meanwhile, The Spring Standards out of NYC shouldn't be missed. unless you are too busy watching bands you've already seen.
