As part of the on-going changes to indie mp3 I have split the "Featured Track of the Week" from the main site into a separate blog simply called Are You Scared To Get Happy? Not very original but it's the best I can come up at present. Any ideas?
This site will hark back towards the original spirit of the indie-mp3 site. When I first started indie mp3 in 2002 there was no other site doing the same thing but since web 2.0 and blogs a number have shown up. [joke]It's time for me to take the throne back from the young pretenders [/joke]
These include:
I'm Not Always So Stupid
Heaven Is Above Your Head
The Rain Fell Down*
Skatterbrain
Is there any I have missed out?
* Now finished but worth viewing and to grab the radio shows.
Are You Scared To Get Happy? can be found here. I still need to finish things, adding links etc. But have a look around anyway!

You should definitely keep an eye on Mira el Pendulo. It's great if you think that good music is good music, no matter whether it's new or 20 years old, as you usually won't have any idea about the band. Unless you speak Spanish, of course. (Being such a clever person, you probably do.)
(I'm still a bit confused about all these various Indie MP3 blogs. But, to be honest, I read them all through my RSS reader and usually don't know which of the sites a blog post is from.)
Hey Martijn! The main site is at indie mp3 and is now run jointly by myself and Trev who have merged Lost Music Presents & Indie MP3.
The new blog is at indie-mp3.net and is my own side project blog. Maybe I should get a new domain name and point indie-mp3.net to the main site.
And no I cannot speak Spanish! I cannot even speak English properly ;o)
I got this feedback from Gav at Letterbox Records who said of my blog, 17 Seconds:
It is a superbly written blog with regular updates and I think it deserves to be read by more people than it is (I get a estimation of how many people read the blogs that feature Letterbox links by the number of visitors I get from each blog). There has been a few indie review sites and blogs that have died recently (to the extent that I was thinking of doing something along these lines (which I might talk about more to you in the future, if you don't mind)) so I think it is a good opportunity for 17 Seconds to blossom. I really think you should promote it a bit more. I know you're already sharing lots of links, but I'm sure there are others things you could do (if you want to, of course!). For a start, I'd get onto http://www.indie-mp3.co.uk/ and tell Tom that 17 Seconds is one of the 'young pretenders' he has missed from his list (you'll see what I mean when you read today's entry)."
I'm too modest to say this myself, but that's what he figures...
Still love reading your blog, and have always had a link to your site from my own.
hey tom, thanks for the link!
Well, you speak Hackneyish, that's quite impressive too. My English might be alright, but I don't understand most of Hackneyish ;)
(Oh, and I don't mind the two Indie MP3s, I just thought it was a bit confusing. You've made it clearer now.)
(And who are, by the way, that funnily named Football Team currently leading League One?)
