Sadness
Ever since my cleansing journey into Yacht Rock, I've been pretty certain that indie rock as a form is moribund and essentially dead. Don't worry, indie rock always recovers, I felt like this in early 1994 and 1998 (almost all year!) But I still have to buy records - I'm still a man, damn it. I've been too bashful to tell my gig-going friends that I've spent most of the year gorging on Erin Bode and Nerina Pallot. They wouldn't understand. I think they'd understand my Jacqui Naylor problem even less. Why did things have to get so dang smooth?

John, if you are gong to hunt in that direction, at least go after game with meat on its bones. Try Patricia Barber http://www.patriciabarber.com/ . I especially recommend her disc Modern Cool (1998). Cf: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Barber
GATEWAY DRUG GATEWAY DRUG, EVERYTHING hAS GOT TOO SMOOTH.
This is what happened in 1991 when I bought a Nancy Griffiths tape for £1.99.
