Party Ends

   This contest that Spin magazine is conducting closes on the 7^th so be sure to go and cast your vote before then so that the good bands get rewarded and weak bands crumble under the sheer power of democracy.   

My endorsements for this first round robin bracket is as follows:

(Hello Goodbye)

The “All Ages” category:

• Hello Goodbye
• Damone
• Permanent Me
• Hush Sound

(The term ‘the lesser of two evils’ thrives in this category.)  

The “Indie” category:

• Cold War Kids
• Silversun Pickups
• Crystal Skulls
• Bound stems

(There is no question on any of these.  This is an easy category now, that is going to get harder as the contest trudges on.)  

(The Silent Years)

• Daughters
• The Motion Sick
