Specialism - Indie Music

Well I have decided to specialise, as the title suggests, on Indie Music.

A brief description...(for more see Wikipedia):

The term Indie has many a definitions:

• NME state that this type of music is just what comes from 'independent' record companies, hence the term 'Indie'. In other words not produced by the 'big four' (Warner, Universal, Sony BMG and EMI)
• "Indie" often refers to an artist or band that is not part of the mainstream culture and/or making music outside its influence.
• Also can be described (generically) as 'do it yourself'.
• Just the alternative; genres, scenes, subcultures and stylistic & cultural attributes.
• Usually attributed to: soft punk, the C-86 movement (for an excellent blog keeping this movement alive see here), BritPop and New Wave.

I have a personal interest in this kind of music; favourites include - Franz Ferdinand, Editors, Kaiser Chiefs, Maximo Park, Gorillaz and Coldplay.
