2010 in review

This year saw more and more of those psychedelic, surf, lo-fi, shoegaze, etc. and so on kind of bands, like Best Coast, Deerhunter, Beach House, et al. If I was a betting woman, or someone took...

DIY Birmingham →
I’ve been following this tumblr since I started mine a few months ago, but I’ve really started looking at it today, and it’s a really useful little site, in fact so much so that I recommended it for the week.

Includes the recently disbanded Dexateens, Pine Hill Haints, Dan Sartain, Thomas Function, The Secret Sisters, and more. But it forgets some other great local talent like Wizzard Sleeve, P.S.
