Scene & Heard -- wherein local music scene makers give you the lowdown on the soundtrack to their lives.
Robert Moore is the quintessential man about town. He hosts Sonic Spectrum on 96.5 the Buzz from 6:00-8:00 p.m. each and every Saturday night. In addition, you can frequently find him DJing at Fred P. Otts on the Plaza, hosting Sonic Spectrum music trivia at the Record Bar, and running Oxblood Records with Megan Hamilton. As a man who knows his music inside and out, we had him compile a list of tunes that currently have the attention of his rather busy ears.
Love Is All, "Early Warnings"The latest from the Swedish group is one of the best releases of the year so far, in my opinion. Download track
Dum Dum Girls, "Bhang Bhang, I'm A Burnout"
There is good reason Dum Dum Girls are the talk of the music blogs. Download track
Tindersticks, "Black Smoke"

Shout Out Louds, "Show Me Something New"
Yes, Adam Olenius sounds quite a bit like Robert Smith. That's not a bad thing, in this case. Download track
Sons Of Great Dane, "One Man (Wishful Thinking)"
One of KC's finest. Download track
