Re: Music.

rock elitism oh just leave it alone I don't give a crap if I am in this context :D I'd rather draw the line where it comes to advanced musician lingo.

I usually don't pay attention to "buzz bands" but I tried out How to Dress Well - and it blew away my expectations. Buy Love Remains now, or if you don't have the time or money, at least snatch up "You Won't Need Me Where I'm Goin'". Such a great song.
