well, that's exactly what this list is useful for--lurk for a while
and see what people say about the various albums and artists
they listen to, and then pay more attention to those whose tastes
seem to match yours in other areas. i've come across some really
excellent stuff that way. not to mention the advance notice of
various tour dates.
i'll keep posting the occasional note about something i've liked
that i haven't heard too many other reviews of...i hope it's as
useful to others as it is to me when you guys do that :)
