Newcomer Emily’s Best of 2008
January 7, 2009 · 2 Comments
I’ve had a full week to reflect on all that was last year, and I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of good came out of 2008.

That’s unfortunate, because although I didn’t know it then, I’m now aware of how incredible Buddy Wakefield and his contemporaries are. They are a gift to contemporary slam. Visit their website.
