Sekrit Origins

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

One of the persistent themes in the Now polls is "wow this is my first NOW album" (frantically ticks everything). Another persistent theme is "OK at this point I'd got into indie" (ashamedly ticks nothing). So in the endless search for shared experience let me ask you this question:

How did you get into indie?

and as a bonus question - let's try not to make this too loaded -

If indie is less central to your music listening now than it once was, why do you think this is?

Define the i-word however you like.

I think I have asked similar qns on ILM, but this is a new kettle and these are new fish.

What new breed of LJ madness is this splitting comments into Page 1, Page 2...? (Is this a side effect of the fact that several comments are quite long?)

Oh, LJ's been making comments spill over onto new pages for as long as I've been on it (...which, I have just realised, is nearly five years. ulp.) This must just be the first post with sufficient comments you've seen! Length of individual comments doesn't seem a factor as much as number, as far as I've noticed.
