Indie Pop/Rock

As promised, here is my radio station for Indie Pop/Rock bands. I still am not sure what it is about this kind of music that makes me like it so much. Maybe that it is so different and out there. I really like music that has several layers and depth. Not noise necessarily, but structured layers and components. More than just a song, but something that is built up. Maybe it just makes me happy and I am a sucker for music that lifts the spirits. The lyrics are usually simple. Not a whole lot of thinking required. My wife says it brings out the inner 12 year old girl inside me. I have never really been a big fan of pop music, well most anyway. This is more than that, though. Not pop, not rock, not techno, but something in between.

Okay, enough with the rambling. Here is the station. Again, I have tried to weed out the stuff I did not like, to leave the good bits. Have it a go and let me know what you think. I didn’t have any responses on my last post, so step it up hippies.

Great bands of note:
Architecture in Helsinki – Thanks Flip. I really like this band.
Psapp
New Buffalo
Stereolab
Playradioplay
Ms John Soda – “tidy up my binary” – I’ll tidy up your binary!
The Blow
Yo La Tengo – have not listen to it much, but liked what I heard – really different stuff
The Postal Service

There are many others, so just listen to the station.

I love Celtic music. I really love the sound of female Celtic singers. More than that, I love Celtic Rock and Celtic Punk bands. Using the awesome power of Pandora, a great online music site, I have been able to expand my base of bands exponentially. I have created a great little station and weeded out most of the crap I didn’t like. There are a bunch of great bands in this station, so enjoy (Click Here).

Some bands of note:
Flogging Molly – My first taste of Celtic Punk and will always be my favorite. Their live shows are awesome!
Oysterband
The Real McKenzies – Not those stupid fake ones
Dropkick Murphys
The Young Dubliners
Street Dogs
The Elders
Carbon Leaf

I know a few of you may have already heard of most of these bands, but if that is the case why didn’t you share with me. Hippies, every last one of you! Well give them a go. Listen to my Pandora Radio station.

Next time, some Indie Pop and Indie Rock!

Later hippies
