While checking through my daily websites, I found this article on the NME website. It is about why British indie bands can't break through to the states. (Kind of a huge angst and blessing for me. Angst, because, well, it is kind of embarressing as an American, and it is harder to find out about GOOD new bands, because they can't survive in the (shit) American music industry. BUT, it is a blessing, because of my naturally possessive, snobby ways, I get to keep my bands all to myself, BUT, I get the enthusiasm of UK fans (which seem to be by FAR better) via Youtube. It isn't great, but it is fun to see that at least the bands are getting the attention they deserve, even if it isn't from the States. Also, it makes ME seem waaaay more indie and cool to know a bunch of bands that no one else does, EVEN THOUGH, they are widely played on the radio in Britain, hah!
