Want to help us pick the next song featured in our music player (on the right side of the screen)? You can pick a song from your band, a friend's band, or your favorite band (if we get permission). All you gotta do is add the AP.net heart to your twitter picture and give the @absolutepunk account a reply. We'll pick a winner at the end of the day.

There's been quite a bit of music out there this year. Miss some stuff? Blake Solomon is going to recap five releases that may have gotten by you. What albums do you think people are missing out on? There's two months left until those "end of the year" list, what went over our heads? Discuss.

Think we'll see another band rise to mainstream success from our scene? Or is it all about electronic beats and crunkcore now? What do you think the next wave will be?
