Dear GYA, As you get older, your tastes become more refined. For example, I only buy locally roasted Sumatra coffee beans, I love my 50/50 polyblend llama-fiber hiking socks and I prefer to listen to harcore-based, black metal with hints of deathrock and mellow, yet gothy undertones.

This is venting time for me: I've been to more concerts with shitty behavior from patrons and bands in the past two weeks than I've been to in two years combined.
New albums from Crook & the Bluff, The Chickens, Mr. Vandal and more
We're halfway through the month and the release shows are picking up as bands look to be getting albums out before the holiday happens. Local music isn't that bad of a gift if you love what you listen to.
