Indie Rock: Take Some Time to Educate Yourself


It's really easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer amount of music there is these days, even within one genre. Trying to learn as much as possible about music in general is certainly a noble pursuit, so I found this little jewel of a feature story of sorts on the "Indie Rock Universe" from Rolling Stone and happily filled up an afternoon. The genre is comically mapped out via what looks like doodles on the back of some future art major's history notes. After a quick Rhapsody Player download, listen to the songs listed under each part of the universe. I'm not doing this thing justice...check it out if only to look at the cool artwork.
