It is obvious that DJ's, promoters, A&R, and varying other forms of talent scouting are, as a class, parasitic. They are, lamentably few exceptions, neither creative nor productive. They have, however, manipulated the creation and talent of others to provide themselves with reputations of arbiters of good taste. There is no reason whatsoever why they have any better judgement than anyone else. In most cases, they abuse this power in the knowledge that they, to the artist, are the decider of their talents and merit. It is this behaviour and attitude that will, in time, be the downfall of the music (and artistic) industry as an appreciation of true talent and expression.

Paraphrased from the wise words of John Peel RIP  1939 - 2005.

Musical instrument and equipment suppliers interested in being listed here for a page 1 internet ranking under an "indie musician" search email me to discuss terms.

My name is Stepan and you can buy my tunes on 1, and 2.
I thought that a list of indie musicians,  individuals or bands, and relevant organizations listed under the above name would be a good idea.
To my pleasant surprise the above names were free, so I snapped them up!

All you need to do  to be here is ask me, and then to put a little cross link to all or one of the above links somewhere on your home page.

The more who join in, the higher they go,   the more exposure all on this page get.

That’s the theory anyway.  No harm trying, and no cost!

So, here are the links so far. Please pass this idea on to any other relevant people you know.

I am also on www.the-ukrainian.com, www.myspace.com/ukrainians,     http://www.ukrainians.co.uk/  and http://www.the-ukrainian.co.uk/.

Should you go on this page? My definition of “indieis  approach, not a genre. Now you decide.
