Music Buzz There are more and more bands these days that include the word “Crystal”. At last week’s CMJ showcase in NYC alone, there were a total of three bands that started with the word. I smell a trend! If I had a band, I think I’d call it Crystal Potatoes. That’d be a spud of an idea. How about you?
