	Built to Spill - Audio samples, biography and discography from Bands On Demand Indie Rock guide on UGO
		Hailing from Idaho and fronted by former Treeperson Doug Martsch, Built to Spill craft optimistic and wistful songs jammed packed with Neil Young-like guitar solos and pop culture references.
		Why We Like 'Em Where Pavement was sloppy and obtuse and Dinosaur Jr was maudlin and loud as hell, Built to Spill quietly crawled into a slot somewhere in between with songs that give out little nods about emotions and pop culture just to see if you're still paying attention.
		Imminently satisfying and sprawling complex, Built to Spill are revolutionaries almost in spite of themselves.

	Indie (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In popular music, indie music (from independent) is any of a number of genres, scenes, subcultures and stylistic and cultural attributes, characterised by (real or perceived) independence from commercial pop music and mainstream culture and an autonomous, do-it-yourself (DIY) approach.
		Indie artists of any particular time often go against the prevailing trends (for example, the twee pop movement that started in the 1980s was a reaction against the testosterone-fuelled swagger of rock).
		The word "indie" is sometimes used as a synonym for alternative, a word which often bears the stigma of being associated with cynically manufactured mass-market teen-rebellion music from major labels.

	Urban Dictionary: indie rock
		indie rock is a genre of music that is "undeground", thus not many people in the pop culture world know about these music gems.
		The true definition of indie rock is music on an independent record label, but commonly misconcepted as a certain sound of high pitched voices and acoustic instruments from bands that are, in fact, on major record labels.
		Indie rock- A genre of music and cult following of younger generation which is striving to be different from pop music followers.

	Free Press : The resurrection of indie radio
		Indie 103’s studios are in an executive palace on LA’s Museum Mile, one of the toniest addresses in the city.
		Between the 1920s, when the first stations began to broadcast, and the end of grunge in the 1990s, music played over the radio was arguably the most innovative force in US popular culture.
		Radio stations that have spent years drilling their identities into listeners’ skulls — “Mix 105!” “1010, New York’s all news station!” — will not have to force listeners to hunt for their digital version on the dial.

	Microsoft Sells Game Developer to Take-Two - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
		The studio, known as Indie Built, was sold for an undisclosed sum to Take-Two Interactive Software, the New York-based game developer and publisher of controversial titles such as "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," according to a report Saturday in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
		The sale of Indie Built is Microsoft's second such move in recent months.
		As a former employee of the studio, I wish them the best of luck with Take Two, and I hope that the new management is a better fit for the culture than Microsoft was.

	subinev blog: The Art of Cassette Culture
		Of course the problem with being a sort of cult hero to legions of super nerdy indie rockers is that when you open up the floor to questions about your book, nobody can open their mouth because really all they want to ask about is guitars and pedals.
		Thurston was at the Virgin store in Union Square promoting (and signing!) the new book that he edited, Mix Tape: The Art of Cassette Culture.
		All the artwork is great and the accounts of mixtapes made and received are a lot of fun to read (I especially like Glen E. Friedman's one about the time he had to get a tooth extracted.

	Indie Culture Gets Wu'd
		For example, on "Proto Culture," Del is joined by Khaos Unique, and the two rap about one of their favorite things -- video games.
		Rich in allusions and images, his cerebral, easy-flowing rhymes are perhaps the subtlest and most nuanced of any Wu MC, as underscored by his smooth, low-key...
		I sense a mini wu comeback - the gza and mathematics albums are both great.

	The Indie Gaming Network » Pop Culture Pariah
		Johnathan Skinner (from Veggie Games & now a GDGi employee) and I did a presentation at the recent VidFest 2005 conference on the opportunities that the ‘Indie Route’ offers companies & individuals covering exactly these topics.
		She believes the mainstream media is cherry-picking facts about gaming to show the industry in a bad light.
		There’s no shortage of gaming coverage, but it seems that what’s out there, outside of enthusiast coverage, focuses disproportionately on certain kinds of games or on partial information that does no justice to the industry’s successes.

	pastemusic.com: go beyond pop culture - cds, online radio & free mp3
		Whether bringing chamber music to indie kids or introducing post-rock to concert snobs, Clogs' fourth album, Lantern, is intricate and atmospheric.
		His debut album, Veneer, is a striking collection of hushed and autumnal indie pop bedroom songs that reside on the hi-fi end of the lo-fi spectrum.
		Your music memory tells you that you've seen this before, but it is also not quite like anything you know.

	Amazon.com: Music: Over the Counter Culture [IMPORT]
		The Ordinary Boys stunning debut ‘Over The Counter Culture’ is a glorious amalgamation of 80s indie and mod sharpness owing equal debt to The Smiths and The Jam yet still retaining a winning originality.
		Their straight up Brit rock on Over the Counter Culture falls between The Libertines and Feeder, with roots in The Specials (whom they cover with a rollicking version of "Little Bitch").
		Over the Counter Culture is a brilliant slice of britpop/rock at it's finest.

		With the release of Dreddy Kruger’s Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture, the Wu continues to create classic material through an album that combines production reminiscent of the early Wu-Tang projects with never before seen parings of some of the best independent MCs from the East and West Coast.
		This album brings back to life one of the trade marks of this culture: rebelliousness.
		Bronze Nazareth is largely responsible for the production on this album, and he brilliantly taps into the sound of the golden era of Wu and builds from that inspiration rather than merely copying it.

	Art Of Rhyme
		Not only does Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture connect Wu-Tang with some of Independent Hip Hop's finest, here it brought together two of the best lyricists from the 90's.
		Nobody laces a Wu track quite like the Rza, but if there's going to be a substitute it might as well be another one of the greatest of all time.
		If there's one producer who can pull off the Wu-Tang vibe outside of the Wu itself, it would be DJ Muggs.

	Hip Hop and Rap in Europe. The culture of the urban ghetto's
		This strong youth culture rapidly influenced other musical styles with its phrasing and break beats and gave birth to many contrasting styles including pop, funk, dance, techno, acid jazz, indie rock etc. A straight rap record is still hard-core and only relevant for a specific group and market, it does not have a commercial appeal.
		The best definition of Hip Hop is the culture of urban ghetto's.
		When Africa Bambaata himself came to Europe, notably in France in the early 1980's, he was impressed by the importance of Black culture, coming from both Africa and the Caribbean.

	No Media Kings
		I met Missy Kulik at an indie media conference where I was doing a DIY Books seminar.
		So promoting my books was initially a challenge for me. But since I wrote my first DIY Book Promo article five years ago, I’ve brought public attention to three more novels and now quite enjoy it.
		The second segment on this amazing Wiretap podcast appears to be a funny pig story, but then transforms like manimal before your very eyes.

	Indo-Asian News Service -> Poland-Culture-Palace -> Stalinist Palace is Warsaw's cultural hub
		It also hosts Cafe Kuturalna, a booming night spot promoting Poland's burgeoning "indie" and "alternative" musical, literary and visual arts culture, where young Warsaw residents and visitors alike can drink and dance the night away.
		Officially opened to the Polish proletariat 50 years ago this month, the Palace of Culture and Science was planted on the ruins of Warsaw's pre-war bustling city centre, bombed into oblivion by the retreating Nazi German forces in 1944.
		Warsaw, July 27 (DPA) It was an unwelcome present to Poland from reviled Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and instantly became Warsaw's most recognisable landmark, but 50 years later the mammoth Palace of Culture still dominates the city skyline.

	Books and the Culture, 2/1/2002 - The Texas Observer
		The drive across the desert, with Nafas, her "fellow wives," and their children stuffed into the back of a frail-looking truck, feels almost exhilarating, as if it were an opening scene from an indie road movie, and not something more akin to the river trip in Apocalypse Now.

		Far more durable than the 78-rpm shellac discs it replaced, and with greatly enhanced sound quality, it has become an iconic format of popular music culture.

		Which has long been the stereotype of the music of youth, and indeed the entire culture of youth.
		His latest album, however, has attracted a new audience of heterosexual indie rockers.
		This revolving-door solo project by Omaha's so-called boy wonder Conor Oberst is a bit too grounded in plain old folk tradition to fit comfortably within the freak-folk rubric, but he's clearly an important figure in modern pop.
