I'm finding it kind of interesting, actually. The last posts by Scott and someone else (erased it, sorry) were particularly good.
Nostalgia? Frankly, every current band discussed on this board drips with nostalgia in terms of their influences.
This is audities, right? Or did I erroneously log on to Crunkities?

Would somebody please launch a threadkiller and kill this boring-ass
thread dead! It's a false choice! You can like any type of music you
want! The Kinks box is excellent! But so are the Attic Lights! Enough
nostalgia! Let's talk about all the good stuff! Like Rodriguez' "Cold
Fact" for example...
