I remember the first time I tried Indie.  Someone at school handed me a mix tape and on it was stuff like Dinosaur Jr, Nirvana, Pixies... That was it. After that first taste, I wanted more and more. Tapes, CDs, vinyl, the works. I started going to gigs and festivals, experimenting with new genres, heavier stuff - post rock, math rock, riot grrl, hardcore, sludge, stoner rock, even dance stuff and girl groups.  I realised I was spending almost all my time and money on music but I just couldn't get enough.

Of course, I could give up any time I like. It doesn't control me - I control it...

So, how about I make you a mix tape? You'll love it. First one's free - tell your mates.
