Backtracking To The Source

I'm currently engaged in my annual time-suck of scanning other people's year-end music lists to make sure I miss as little good music as possible. It's a thankless task - mostly the same not-that-interesting indie-flavor-of-the-moment bands cropping up over and over.

But today I happened on a list with a bunch of stuff I'd never heard of before, and when I hunted down the bands' Myspace pages, I found myself lingering over nearly all of it. Two Sheds, A.A. Bondy, All Smiles...who knew? So good!

I don't usually pay much attention to who's picking the music I'm rushing through, but in this case I did. Twas a band called Everest. They're on tour with Wilco and Neil Young. And, surprise surprise, I like them too.
