okay, truth be told, i'm just not as active on the indiepop list as i used to be. i'm busy (isn't everyone?) and there just isn't as much pop in nyc as there once was. but i lurk around still, and i got to shows every now and then, still, too! it's a **big** list now, and very high traffic. these sites comprise the webhome of the indiepop mailing list, and an indiepop nerve center of sorts. all of them have tons of features, including comprehensive discographies, lots of contact information about mailorder, the skinny on the indiepop list and our various and sundry "events," as well as links to lots of other twee places! want to find out what talulah gosh released before they broke up? see a virtual art exhibit that stereolab composed the music for? look at the graphic for the very first tweefest t-shirt? then you've come to the right place. tweenet europe by peter hahndorf in january 1997, (for the 3rd time) the indiepop list had a gathering (the event formerly known as tweefest)...so i did my part by (among other things) hosting the popfest '97 page! please visit it if you are interested in the concerts that happened in california on january 4th and 5th and in new york city on january 10th and 11th! also check out these sites for additional popfests: there was one in early may 1997 in boston, one in late june 1997 in chicago, one in mid-july 1997 in seattle, one in the fall 1997 in toronto, one in mid-february, 1998, in florida, and one in athens, ga in july 1998! wow!!! to help those traveling indiepopsters out when they come to new york, over the years i've compiled a little list of indiepop-ish record stores and other fun places to go in nyc, as well as some simple directions for getting around. do check out my indiepopkid's guide to nyc if you'd like! please email me at mas at mauraweb dot com if you have any other music links that you think i'd dig! thanks! 13may96 (with revisions 26jan00) |
