      Indie isnt really a genre. To my mind, something is indie if it is done for art. You can hear it in the way they don't half-ass their work. It always sounds like it took some time to do it right, because they weren't willing to compromise. Compare it to more popular music. Every day I hear something new that makes me wonder "why make a pop song if you can't find a good singer?" or "are we really out of talented people to put in pop songs?" All the popular genres have this weird way of prioritizing the visual aspects of an audio medium... I think they must not care about talent, only about looks. If she'll make some dicks hard, I got all the autotune in the world and I'll make it work... yeah. Feels a bit like that. Indie has the opposite feel.

Musicians today are so self conscious because of the fear of being recorded on a smartphone an “off day” performance.

    I've been waiting a long time for you to finally get around to discussing indie music, and look forward to seeing much more. This is also a great way to talk about modern guitar music (because you won't find a lot of guitar in modern pop music on major labels - as you know from the Spotify top tens). Indie is also short for independent, meaning independent record labels. A lot of these artists are on small labels, that's partly why the songs aren't overly produced, but talking about the production is nevertheless really interesting. You could talk about Steve Albini for instance. Really look forward to more of this content.

      YES!!! I love the BBC sound App.
      Im born and raised in Hollywood,CA. From 79 to the present. We use to have great radio stations and amazing DJs that had personality. By 2002 I was over programmed radio from clear channel and now iHeart. I ventured online and saw I could stream Radio1 back in 2006. In a few months later I found 6Music. If you listen to the Huey Show on 6Music. That’s what US radio sounded like. A melting pot of goodies. I love listening to Sounds of the 60s w/Tony Blackburn on radio2. We have station K-Earth 101 that had the same vibe and DJs like him growing up. Grant Scott’s Vinyl Collection on radio Scotland. Love the pops crackles when he spins the tunes.
      I like that Rick Beato has been giving us the top 10 on Spotify. But this list on indie rock women is where he needs to go. More Guitar based bands/artists to showcase, if he wants to and has the time.

We don’t have John Peel any more but 6 Music is keeping some of that spirit going. It does annoy me a bit sometimes though because they also play a lot of quite dull indie wank that is trying too hard to be quirky.
