What has been circling the submission circles here at the blog?  Well a fair amount of stuff!  You would think with the sheer amount of music bloggers these days that there aren’t enough artists to go around!  ….sorry inside blogger joke, kinda.

 Alt-Country,Americana,Best New Music,Down-Tempo,Folk,New Album,Singer Songwriter,Unsigned 11 May 2009
