Most of it comes from albums/EPs I've purchased over the past year and a half and the rest is culled from free MP3 downloads off Myspace. That said, I still haven't bought some friends' CDs and some of my favorite local acts don't let you download songs from their myspace pages.
Even so, this is a pretty decent cross-section of the manic music scene here in St. Louis. We've got 80s-aping The Bureau, old-school Cali-style punks The Humanoids, riot grrls Bitch Slap Barbie, country hootnanny Strawfoot, Elvis Costello-ish John Hardy & The Public, my band The Orbz - a punk/funk/indie fusion, 90s-era alt-rockers Ashborne, shoegazy Stella Mora, rockabilly via the 7 Shot Screamers, funky rockers The Feed, Belly-esque indie rockers Goodnight Ghost (no longer around, sadly), the sonic stomp of PFIC, and the clunky indie messes of The Hibernauts and Tape Deck Sonata. A pretty good mix, given the cheap methods used to create it.
And yes, some of these bands I have had the good fortune to share the stage with (Stella Mora, Ashborne, PFIC and Tape Deck Sonata).
