Ive really been digging Indie rock lately but dont know too much about it, Do you know about it?
I am also a fan.  It really started gaining a following in the 1980s in both the US and the UK.
Neato! What are some popular Indie bands I should check out? 
Honestly, pretty much any local band from Seattle is recommended.  Also No Wave from New York is a good type to listen to
