Music

First off, I do NOT want to be labeled as indie. That word seems synonymous with arrogant trend-zombies who get a bender when they find a band no one has heard of and then buy their record. But I am often called indie, and I want to know if it’s ignorance or my appearance/actions that get me labeled as such.
I: wear vintage dresses (and always have, way before this damned trend started), I buy records (of bands you know, honest!) because I grew up in a family who collected them, I’m a photographer and carry my camera everywhere, I do enjoy some music that is classified as ‘indie’ but I’m confused as to why this would contribute (does ‘indie’ not stand for ‘independent’ as in ‘independent music label/unsigned band?) and I have an affinity for handcrafted jewellery.

Honestly I have no idea what the ‘indie’ trend is, because to me ‘indie’ refers to an unsigned band or a band signed to an independent label.
So am I technically ‘indie’?

People call me indie a lot too, even though I thought it was a genre of music too…
I’m a vegetarian, I like photography, I listen to some unheard of music, some popular and some classic. I wear some vintage clothes (also always have)

Seems as if we’re into a lot of the same things, and people label me as indie.

But see, the thing is. They’re GOING to label you as something. Why does it matter what?

The rockin’ continues…this time I’m strolling down the lane of the world’s most important roots music label EVER, the Yellow SUN Label out of Memphis, Tenn. The home and starting place of the most amazing rooster of roots music talent on the face of the planet!!!! Elvis, Carl Perkins,
Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee, Charlie Rich, Carl Mann, Rufus Thomas Jr., Dr. Ross, Charlie Feathers, Warren Smith, Billy Riley, Ray Smith, Bill Justis…the list goes on and on!! Not to mention the truckload of blues greats that Sam Phillips recorded (such as Howlin’ Wolf, Sleepy
John Estes, B.B. King, Walter Horton, Honeyboy Edwards, Little Walter, Earl Hooker, etc) and licenced to independent labels like 4 Star, Modern, RPM, Chess, Gilt-Edge, Trumpet, Duke, Checker, J-B, etc. Not bad for a small independent one man operation that once was described as
(quote): “A hole in the wall completely surrounded by Cadillacs”!!
The track I’ve pulled out of my tape library for this upload is yet another little toe-tapper that I recorded in (you guessed it!) the ’70s, the College
Kids’ (Wade Moore & Dick Penner) SUN rockabilly jumper, “Bop, Bop Baby”! Straight ahead one take only (on all accounts) and a fun one to
stick your teeths into! Hope you get as much pleasure out of it as I did recording it! Get with it…

The singles label Green Label Sound has started 2009 with the official video for “Big Bills” the collaboration between Chicago-based DJ/production duo Flosstradamus and Caroline Polachek of Brooklyn’s indie-synth band Chairlift.

Setting the stage in a freezing warehouse located in Brooklyn, New York, Flosstradamus and Caroline are surrounded by colorful lighting and hanging mirrors catching their reflections. The inspiration came from contemporary Danish artist, Olafur Eliasson. Director Keven McAlester explains, “For the video, I wanted to do something very simple, very mathematical–complement the song without getting in the way. We tried a bunch of more complicated stuff with mirrors, but we kept coming back to the simple things that worked. Color and geometry. My kindergarten teacher would be proud.”

The collaboration marks several “firsts” for all players: the first collaboration on Green Label Sound; the first official original release from Flosstradamus; and the first “dance” track featuring Caroline Polachek. Flosstradamus (Curt Cameruci and Josh Young), known for their ability to seamlessly blend old school beats, Euro big-room tunes, funky house, and minimal techno, have laid down a fun and compelling beat which complements the subtle indie pop vocals of Chairlift’s Caroline Polachek perfectly. “Big Bills” is available for free download at GreenLabelSound.com.

Green Label Sound, supported by Mountain Dew is a unique music label showcasing independent artists. More exclusive tracks from a variety of artists will be released throughout the year. Stay up to date on all GLS news by visiting http://www.greenlabelsound.com
