post about obscure music for underground indie cred
last thread failed because it was all over the place so I'm going to set some basic ground rules
1. don't post your music or your friends music. nobody cares
2. don't use media tags. they kill threads because they take forever to load
3. use this form:

Karantamba
Group from Ghana pretty much specialising in their own ethnic style of African music. There's definitely a word for it, but for me it's absolute bliss.

not that "underground" thou

not that "underground" thou[/QUOTE]
quite an understatement
What's the limit here for obscurity, like how many Last.FM Listeners. About 10k max?
[QUOTE=Zenpod;36587538]About 10k max?[/QUOTE]
The one I posted had less than a 100 listeners....

obscure means not well known. :/
Well, some here are at like 6k so it's a question of limiting it
[QUOTE=Zenpod;36588978]Well, some here are at like 6k so it's a question of limiting it[/QUOTE]
well it's the only method of knowing obscurity on the web, but using just common sense is the best thing here.
