SoYouWanna fake being an indie rock expert? | SoYouWanna.com Indie fans often come across as if they belong to some sort of secret society, frowning upon all those poor, ignorant souls who just don't "get it" when it comes to music. To begin a sham indie rock education, you might be tempted to think you should go buy some indie rock records. If you want to be indie rock you can't drive a car that has fewer than 100,000 miles on the odometer and had an original sticker price of more than $20K. www.soyouwanna.com /site/syws/indierock/indierock.html   (504 words)

Indie Rock Encyclopedia Articles @ LaunchBase.net (Launch Base)   (Site not responding. Last check: ) However, the term "indie" became primarily associated with a form of guitar-based alternative rock that dominated the indie charts, particularly indie pop artists such as Aztec Camera and Orange Juice, the C86 jangle-pop movement and the twee pop of Sarah Records artists. Probably the definitive British indie rock bands of the 80s were The Smiths, The Stone Roses and The Jesus and Mary Chain, whose music directly influenced 1990s alternative movements such as shoegazing and Britpop. In the United States, the music commonly regarded as indie rock is descended from an alternative rock scene largely influenced by the punk rock and hardcore punk movements of the 1970s and early 1980s and their DIY ethos. www.launchbase.net /encyclopedia/Indie_rock   (1384 words)

Health forums. Indie rock acts placed a premium on maintaining complete control of their music and careers, often releasing albums on their own independent record labels and relying on touring, word-of-mouth, and airplay on independent or college radio stations for promotion. Indie rock is often used to refer to bands that are on small independent record labels or that aren't on labels at all. In that sense, indie rock can be seen as the follower to the Punk and New Wave movements of the late 1970s and early 1980s, as a counter-culture movement opposed to mainstream corporate rock. www.downloadfreephotoshop.com /jukebox_plus__gt_read.html   (3063 words)

Indie Rock from 2000 - present - Beastie Boys Message Board There was a small section of the "holier than thou" indie community that accused them of selling out, even though the actual sound of the new album was no different, other than a little more polish, to their previous efforts. When it comes to indie in the '00s, it's kind of being used as a catch-all/buzz term by the media much in the same way that "alternative" was being thrown around for all the grunge, etc. bands in the '90s. To me, "indie" was used to describe and differentiate the underground bands that were inaccessible to the mainstream, unlike their "alternative" counterparts. www.beastieboys.com /bbs/showthread.php?t=66465   (1365 words)

INDIE ROCK: Taxonomy of an Indie Rock Show There's something very special about going to see a formerly indie band, now signed to a major label, play a venue that three years ago would've been much too big for them. Skinny indie guys: They've been into the band since they were releasing 7-inch EPs from their basement, and it's, like, so lame that they have all these annoying fans now, but their friend who works at the label got them these tickets, so, whatever?

Indie Rock on the ARTISTdirect Network - Free Indie Rock Downloads, Indie Rock Videos, and CDs The term "indie rock" isn't just for unsigned bands and independent labels, though they're the ones making most of it.. Any band that embodies the independent spirit can be labeled as indie rock -- from Superchunk, who launched their own label, to The Hives and The White Stripes, who keep their sound lo-fi and anti-corporate.

Indie Rock Indie rock is like pornography in a way: most people can't tell you exactly what it is, but they know it when they see it. It's loud and obnoxious (or quiet and polite), careless and sloppy (or meticulously composed), complex and pretentious (or simple and unassuming), and, to its fans, cooler and more relevant than any other style of music. It's impossible to list all of the bands who have been influential to indie rock -- doing so would require more space than we have here and would undoubtedly start some petulant silent feuds. www.epitonic.com /genres/indierock.html   (153 words)

Punknews.org | Various - This Is Indie Rock: Vol. 3 That’s not to say too many of these songs do have substance, as many are much more pop than indie rock, but in the least of instances they’re at least catchy or somewhat memorable.

Radio Indie Rock One thing I always loved about Sleater-Kinney; when they left Kill Rock Stars for a bigger label, it was still an indie label. Back in the days of Radio Indie Rock the radio station, we all used to do a year-end show counting down our top albums of the year. A contributing factor is also that the music industry tends to shut down this time of year, so new releases are few and far between. www.radioindierock.com   (2503 words)

A Paler Shade of White: Musical Events: The New Yorker I’ve spent the past decade wondering why rock and roll, the most miscegenated popular music ever to have existed, underwent a racial re-sorting in the nineteen-nineties. These are the volatile elements that launched rock and roll, in the nineteen-fifties, when Elvis Presley stole the world away from Pat Boone and moved popular music from the head to the hips. The Beatles, especially in Paul McCartney’s compositions, married blues and soul with the verse-chorus-bridge structure common to songs from the English music hall and Tin Pan Alley, and hooked teen-agers on a combination of Irving Berlin and Muddy Waters that previously would have been unthinkable. www.newyorker.com /arts/critics/musical/2007/10/22/071022crmu_music_frerejones   (1362 words)

How to fake being an Indie Rock expert... - Beastie Boys Message Board One last minefield you need to navigate is what happens when an indie band jumps to a major label. Again, Sonic Youth were cool even on DGC, but the Goo Goo Dolls, who did about the coolest Prince cover ever ("I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man"), became something else when they went to a major label. Damn new music loving cliques; these trash-swallowers need to part with their pseudo-hip ways, burn all material related with their moronic new music and should go onto listening to Roxy Music and Ratt. www.beastieboys.com /bbs/showthread.php?t=54121   (661 words)
