I have a new mission. Upon entering the Park St. subway station of Boston, the soothing sounds of a spanish guitar and wood pipes entered my ears. There's been a lot of talk around DoW involving going into the world and searching for music in the darkest corners we could find. Well, now the quest takes on all the underground musicians who play on streetcorners and subway stations just for the audience of passing ears. We have decided to hunt these artists down, listen to them perform and come home with their recorded music. From there we will database these compilations and albums and review them. This page will go through random updates, so check it out every once in a while.
