    I'm in pretty much exactly the same boat. The only current
    underground rock I really get excited about:

    1) Anything by Brother JT (sometimes plays w/Vibrolux)
    2) That last album by Royal Trux was excellent (_Veterans of
    Disorder_; generally, they've been slidin' pretty hard, though).

    Jeez, a list of two; can't think of anything else right now. I blame
    it on Emo!
