anyway.. indie: One, such as a studio or producer, that is unaffiliated with a larger or more commercial organization. An artistic work produced by an independent company or group
I am an independent artist. Yes, yes... there's all the technical crapocities of it all... but, indie/independent music is tyically music with meaning and feeling and there's a freedom to it as you don't have slimy music industry people on you...
Oasis were what first made me want to play guitar. I like Wonderwall, but prefer Champagne Supernova and Cigarettes and Alcohol....
Robb has been playing that song constantly lately... I even started singing it for him at a party last Friday... I don't like it much... what a good night that was...
Here are a few examples: Guided by Voices Modest Mouse Neutral Milk Hotel Elliott Smith The Firey Furnaces Yo La Tengo Sonic Youth
a very good amount of those bands arn't indie, don't get me wrong I'm not trying to sound like I know it all or anything but I'm just saying...
many of them were indie at one point, but slowly creeped in to fame. i know modest mouse, sonic youth, and elliott smith arent very indie anymore, but to me they are. In my opinion, indie is music that is...more sophisticated, i suppose if thats the right word.
