Chris, The Collector, issued a scene-wide challenge for bloggers to share their all time favorite music groups (or at least one favorite band with each letter of the alphabet). Matt (our friend at Diamond Jesters) posted his list, and it touched my late-90’s college punk rock heart. I’ve been all baseball, all the time since getting back to regular (semi-regular) posting and moved us over here from Ashburn & Yawkey. I’m going to take a break from baseball just for this post to share some music with you.
I’m not going to write a huge blurb or anything. But I’ll give you a Spotify link to my favorite song by each band.
