TPWW Broaden My Horizons on Indie Music

[Indifferent Clox]

First
You need to learn how to appreciate an album.

Think of an album like a movie, each song an individual scene. Radio has warped people's view on this.
In the Indie world Albums, not songs are typically what people listen to, usually all in one sitting.

So Here's quick history of indie and the albums you need:



Pavement- slanted enchanted, this started it all
Pavement- Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Nuetral Milk Hotel- In The Aeroplane over the sea
My bloody Valentine- Loveless
Boards of Canada- Music Has the Right To Children
Spoon- Kill the moonlight
Spoon- ga ga ga ga
Arcade Fire- The Funeral
Animal Collective- Sung Tongs
Animal Collective- Strawberry Jam
Panda Bear- Person pitch
LCD Soundsystem- Sounds Of Silver
Sigur Ros- Agaetis Byrrn or whatever


As an ever evolving Genre you have to be up on what's out

stereogum.com- a very nice site that details leaks etc.
Pitchforkmedia.com- pretty much the mecca for new music in general and often times a good prediction for what's going to be big, for all the gruff it gets for being rather elitist, it's end of the year lists are pretty accurate and it's decades lists are nice.

If you needed any more proof that Clox is full of shit and doesn't know what he's talking about, this one sentence (The second one) really proves it.
