If local musicians want to learn about work ethic, take a look here. Jeff Suszczynski and his Rochester/Buffalo-based Gifted Children brand has been at it for a decade and claim to have logged 1,300 songs! In 2008 alone, they have had a staggering 10 releases, eight of which are on Suszczynski’s own indie label, Tinhorn Planet.

I am calling bullshit on the guys at Buffalo’s Transmission Dance Party. The local crew who has made it okay for the cool kids to dance in the Queen City with their bi-monthly shindigs are clearly out of their minds.
