Hey Rob--what is an alternative rock star?  I wasn't familiar with any of the songs you mentioned.  So even the library is thinking outside the box books!

Tamara, it surprises me every time I see what our local library has to offer, I dont think many people take advantage of it all.  I have always prefered the alternative (not mainstream pop crap) I am not familiar with this one, I guess I should google it!
