If you've stumbled upon here, whether by choice or by circumstance of actually wanting to know your indie; you're in for long endearing hours on the couch right under the fan run by the UPS listening to some indie beauties on your creative:zen player... (wait... that's me when the lights go out)
So this is Episode One - let's get to the indie-goodies:
Featured Artist: Emme Packer
Emme Packer was born and raised in Farmington, Utah, a small town just outside of Salt Lake City. As a child, Emme wandered the home singing and making instruments out of boxes and rubber bands. At 13 years old she taught herself how to play the guitar by visualization and memory. She played and sang in her room with no one knowing of her talents until she reached 18 years old when she decided to record an album independently.
You have to start things off with this tune...
Emme Packer - Paper Thin
turn it up & let its melancholy ambiance really sink in to your skin. Go ahead: tell me you've never felt what this songs all about. (& I'll slap you silly & call you a pookie-munky)
Emme Packer - Mix CD
absolutely catchy folk-noir-bubblegum dittie...
Emme Packer - Hate Your Drug
wait for the bass to kick in over the little riff... good'un.

Well, that's it for now. I shall see you in 2 days with Madi Diaz. Till' then, don't let them take your electricity AND your music... keep one; preferably the latter.
