Rob's list of music you may not have heard yet...
This comes up as a result of a discussion in a friends' LJ re: the relative uselessness of either Billboard's or iTunes' "Top 100" for a lot of us these days. I spend a pretty scary amount of my free time casting around on the web and various non-mainstream music venues looking for music that doesn't suck since so much of what I hear on the radio and via the aforementioned useless places does suck. Hugely.
In the interests of musical exchange of the more obscure artists who may not be so easy to find during these days of ClearChannel hegemony, I thought a list might be in order. Because I wanted to also avoid the "Video Killed the Radio Star" problem, wherever possible I made a point of -not- including the video to these songs. It's by and large just the music.
I hope some of you enjoy it and I -really- hope some others of you follow suit and compile a list of what -you- are listening to so I can gather up the pretty stones from your collections.
