The 100 Greatest Indie-rock Albums Ever
В декабре журнал Blender выбрал 100 лучших инди-альбомов. Из вступительной статьи:
Mumbled lyrics, couldn't-care-less strumming, white dudes in sweaters-what's not to love about indie rock? Born 25-odd years ago in suburban garages and spread via college radio, it has made distortion into something hummable, boredom into something thrilling and aimlessness into a raison d’etre-and these days, thanks to blogs and the fine people at Grey's Anatomy, it's more popular than ever.
