Check Out The New The Sound Of Indie YouTube Channel
As regular readers of TSOI have noticed, there haven't been any updates to this site in quite some time, but thanks to a handful of Hi-8 tapes that were sitting around for 7 years, The Sound Of Indie now has a YouTube channel!
Mark: Best of 2011
Since I grow my music library by bouncing back and forth between decades and music styles, playing catch up on the music I've missed, I don't really have a "Top 10 Albums of 2011" (More...)
Avalanche: Best of 2011
Once again, the great releases of this year are roundly ignored by other 'best-of' music compilers - fools, one and all, but that is precisely why you come here. I am again mystified how some of these releases got such short shrift (More...)
Burning Hearts – Into The Wilderness
