It would be pretty funny if I found out that people who are attracted to spiritual stuff found this website, hoping for revelations from the Bhagavad Gita or something or at least a discussion thereof. Instead they find a whiny government employee/graduate student spouting ill-informed opinions on things nobody knows everything about or trying to outdo DC foodies on eating. Well that will all stop (for at least this post) because at the request of a friend, I will once again delve into territory which I admittedly have no experience in. The friend wants insight into the super exclusive world of indie rock, because the damn radio stations rarely play it, it will not always make into the Grammy awards, or be featured on MTV, I will date myself and be really unhip by posting songs I love. Songs and bands recommended to me by friends, or being trapped in their cars and forced to listen and love. Not all may 'classify' as indie and some maybe downright pop, but I'm not a purist about music genre or labels. If you have other recommendations, please post and let me know!!!
