Official Indie Starter Kit Thread (Calling all hipsters... sorry euro)
2p2er nomadtla asked me for some advice on getting into 'indie' music. I asked him if he liked the idea of me zipping together 10-12 albums and then sending them to him. He said he thought this was a good idea. So, I ask you, OOT, to help me put this compilation together.
He has told me he is more into the songwriterish stuff than the unique sounds stuff. Though he is open to anything. Given that Im unwilling to put forth the effort to do this if ITAOTS, YHF or the soft bulletin arent included, and Im sure one of Bends/OK Comp have to be included, we are left with 8 albums. Go nuts. |

How about Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights maybe?
Great album and it's a pretty accessible. I could be wrong... |

Take out Decemberists (dude's voice is *too* damn indie rock) and put in Iron and Wine's "The Creek Drank the Cradle"
Sufjan's "Illinois" HAS to be in there, IMO. Shins "Oh, Inverted World!" and some Beck would be good too. |

I've just been getting into all this recently, and there's plenty of albums you guys mention that I've yet to listen to.
That said, Turn on the Bright Lights has gotta be in there. As does Illinois and Kill the Moonlight. For the Radiohead album, I'd include The Bends before OK Computer for newbies. Will |
