HUGE SHOW MONDAY

HUGE SHOW MONDAY

BEST OF 2008

This has been one of the best years for new music!
The independent music scene has grown strong and portly over the past 5 years.
This is an interesting moment in music history.

Now you're leaving your bed
with ideas in your head
but if they remain a
dream, you know
it's criminal

You're sleep talking
your feet face north
but your brains gone south
