Here it is, the final day of “Intro to Indie Music.” So here they are again, for the last time, that wonderful list you’ve all grown to know and love…

2. It’s about the music (see here)
3. Lo-fi good, over-production bad (see here)
4. A do-it-yourself attitude (see here)
5. Pushing musical boundaries (see here)
6. An anti-materialistic attitude (see here)
7. Social awareness and activism (see here)

Welcome back to The Top 10 in Christian Blues Week, now on day 3!
I hope you’ve been enjoying this week and perhaps even broadening your musical horizons. Looking at my Blog Stats recently, most of my readers have not been enjoying this week. My exploration of Christian blues has served to significantly decrease the number of hits we receive daily here at the Blah Blah. Sell-outs. I’m no servant to the public! If Christian blues is what I want to blog about, it’s Christian blues I’m going to blog about.
I’ve worked really hard as a lover of music to not turn into a music snob. There was a time when I vehemently declared that all country music was awful, all blues was cheesy, and all popular rock bands were sell-outs. The only real music was indie music. There was also a time (even before the above-mentioned time) when all I listened to was folk and classical. But I’ve had my fun as a music racist and now I’m open to pretty much every type of music. I don’t like most rap I’ve heard. I’m pretty picky about my screamo choices. But I won’t exclude an artist simply because their music belongs to a particular genre. I’m an equal opportunity listener.
