Mix of the Month: July 2009

Much like Independence Day marks our freedom from British rule, Independent music marks Freedom from Sony, Atlantic, and other tyrannical record lablels. Interestingly enough, Independent music or "Indie" has now became a genre rather than a movement. Since it describes a certain sound, some Indie artists are actually signed. But hey, let's take a look at some of the hits.
