you are very naive if you think that there is some sort of burgeoning independent music scene going on, unaffected by the major labels.

Lots of underground bands may have broken through in the 70s, but it hasn't happened since. Despite what the labels will have you believe, nobody has been discovered through myspace. And nobody is playing new music on the radio. All these current "Indie" bands are nothing of the sort, they are generic shite carbon copies of things that have been done before.

I'm not knocking Peel, he did a lot for music, but he did play a lot of unlistenable stuff, but that's the price you pay for getting to hear all the new stuff that's out there, rather than the sanitised stuff that radio 1 wants you to hear.
