M10 2.0.2

 

In looking for a theme for this week, I was struck by how many musicians we (us old folk) know (or might know) who have joined "Rock'N'Roll Heaven".  So this week, I will update the list (not with myself, not yet anyway).  First let me let you know that-

Dropping to 10 this week, Amira Elfeky and Death Of Me.

And debuting at 9, Linkin Park...
