I love those days when you come across a blog that opens you up to a whole new world. Even better if that blog has a link to an amazing flickr stream of polaroids of all the bands I'd love to see, but just haven't been able to yet...

Well, for those in the know (and probably most of you are) I'm talking about the gorilla vs. bear polaroids from the legendary music blog. I actually got to the site through the 8hands blogroll (!!!) - and I have to admit that this blog has opened me up to a whole other world of sites that I've been enjoying all morning.

I feel especially honored to feature these amazing polaroids, in memory of a film that has no business being discontinued. Are all the amazing polaroid flickr streams really that much of an anomaly to the powers that be? I guess we really are a minority. But, I digress. Check out the gorilla vs. bear polaroids for an intimate look at your favorite artists of the now. Really great work. I'm officially jealous. Enjoy...
