I can’t wait to hear some new alternative music from artist, that I never heard of yet.  I only heard of Santogold from America’s Best Dance Crew season 2 Champions, Super Crew.  I used to listen to the Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Live back in the mid 90’s, when alternative music was really popular.
