The 10th week of the folk-unlike Gulls Window Circus series completes the letter ‘S’ and starts ‘T’. This week’s lesser-knowns (EVERY track chosen here is a 5 star affair) are Sopwith Camel, The Souls Of Inspyration, The Springfields, Terry Stamp, Joey Stec, Stumpwater, and Tall Bald Grandfathers. The A-list artists are The Smiths, Son Volt, Chris Stamey, Stephen Stills, Joe Strummer, Jim Sullivan, Matthew Sweet, The Teardrop Explodes, and Teenage Fanclub. The artists loved by many, but maybe sitting a little outside the typical public eye are Alexander Spence, American Spring, Kelley Stoltz, Bridget St. John, Dan Stuart, Subway Sect, Nikki Sudden, The Summer Hits, Sunflower Bean, Norma Tanega, and Team Dresch. Artists from the somewhat recent past you may have forgotten are: Spare Snare, Sniff ‘n’ the Tears, Rachel Sweet, and R. Dean Taylor.
