Altrok's Top 30, 6/5/2012

As the final notes of spring careen toward the summer solstice, we...eh, who am I kidding? We're playing lots of great music, and it really doesn't matter what time of year it is, 'cause we're always doing it. (Though if one were to suggest that this stuff sounds extra special on the beach, either here at the Jersey Shore or at any spot near a patch of water you find yourself within the reach of the Internet, we wouldn't raise a finger to correct you.)

Without further adieu, here's our latest Top 30, as reported to CMJ...
