Title: micro culture
Post by: linear on June 11, 2010, 10:48:09 am

this thread is for discussing songs and authors and stuff that no one has ever heard of before.  Let's give a big "fuck you" to popular culture.  Let's throw pennies at mass production hitch hiking there on the side of the road while we drive past it without even slowing down.

Does your friend write some poems, but is only self-published in a few dozen books she printed herself?  Does your cat play the keyboard, but hasn't hit it big on you tube?  Let's see some of that matieral.

The only PA bands I can name off the top of my heard are The Martians, The Martini Bros, and Adam Brodsky. But I don't know if any of them are still active.

i suppose most performers/musicians that are or have been  popular that are from PA never stayed in PA.

I saw this lady open for a friend of a friend at a tiny local restaurant/bar maybe 6 months ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFUgyj3MJH0&feature=related
She was pretty great.

A friend of mine is the guitarist in this band: http://www.myspace.com/thenewflesh
