I think the Supertones are really great live, but their CDs are really boring.
Five Iron is better, imo.

They're somewhere in there. I saw a little of their set at Cornerstone.

Eh, I never really thought there was "alternative" music. Not since about '91,

(Nirvana, Pearl Jam and the Red Hot Chili Peppers back 'round then), it kinda
ceases being "alternative". It's all just marketing, anyway.
