Rising from the ashes, Jasper (webvomit) and JCR (fivethreedialtone) have teamed up to create the next great Detroit music blog: Eat this[...]

- Greg plays in a band called Superbomb. They are really good. I played a show with them at Paycheck's Lounge (I know) once and even though he was sick, they put out one hell of a set. This is Greg's Top 5:
I'm Greg. I sing and play bass in Ferndale/Oak Park's rock three-piece Superbomb. We write music on the atmospheric, grungy, shoegaze end of the rock spectrum and I thought I'd share some o[...]

Here is John's Top 5:

- Well well well, after much persuasion and buggery I was able to garner a Top 5 from Ben Collins. He and I were on opposing sides of the Great Blog Wars of 2009 with the pinnacle being the Lager House Hot Dog Incident. Time healed all wounds and now here is Ben's Top 5:
About me: Hello, my name is Ben Collins. I'm an amateur song-hearer, so I thought I'd give this top-five list a try. In my sp[...]
