In case you don't get out much, the new issue of Rolling Stone gives you some idea of what you're missing. The current magazine includes a Best of Rock section that calls out Baltimore for having the Best Scene.

What's cool about the recognition is that it underscores just how diverse Baltimore's hip hop, art, and alt-rock culture is.

The article provides a tip-of-the-iceberg list of artists, scenesters, and places that are putting us on the map, including: Darkroom Productions, Wham City collective, Beach House, Double Dagger, and Deep Flow Studios.

This corresponding web post goes into a little more detail.
