Atlanta Music Writers Roundtable 2010, Day 4, Part 2 (8 of 8)

This is the final installment of what’s been the Atlanta Music Writers Roundtable 2010. Thanks to Denton from Little Advances for organizing us and coming up with the great idea! It’s been a blast. If you’re wondering what the Roundtable is about, check our earlier post for details.

The following responses are the last of the 8 part series. We called it our “Lightening Round” and Dead Journalist is hosting the first part of it.
