The Best Indie Musix from 1995-2005

While I may be prejudiced towards this playlist just because this is when I became "of age" with Indie music, that is not to say that it is not a collection of some of the most innovative and groundbreaking artists of the last 15 years. This mix is a collection of all of the major indie "movements" that occurred within that time period: lo-fi, math, electronic, rock, neo-folk, post-rock, indie hip-hop, glitch, psych, pop, new weird america, ETC! No matter what the genre it's all engaging music. I had a lot more to say about this mix but I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and these pain killers are telling me I've written enough.
