This is the first in an occasional series on the history, development and future of Indie music. All comments welcome...

Indie musicians have been around for as long as music itself.
The earliest forms of music were probably simple work and worship chants to a primitive drum accompaniment. By the rise of the first civilizations two types of music had evolved - sacred and secular. Sacred music was extremely formalized with elements of chorus, various flute and harp like instruments and of course drums. On the other hand secular music (folk or popular if you like) was the province of the solo or small group of players often wandering and "getting a gig" where they could.
By the Middle Ages Western sacred music had begun to evolve to formalize with a rudimentary form of written notation known as neumes. The secular musician continued to be more or less improvisatory and still sought gigs where he or she could.
Harmony began to be employed in Western Music soon after this and notation evolved into the format still used today. But it continued to play little or no part in the secular musician's life though.
A huge turning point came with first the introduction of the piano around 1700 and the Industrial Age about 100 years later. This for the first time placed reliable and standardized instruments within the reach of a vast number of people.
So by the beginning of the 20th century, music and instruments were both within the reach of huge numbers of people.

<p>Sorry I have been MIA the last few days or so. We have had some company in town so we have been entertaining. Should be back in business in a few days or so!</p><p>Dazed&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

After faking Stones tunes in standard tuning for most of my life I've finally spent a few weeks woodshedding in Open G tuning. Taking off the 6th string so the root is on the bottom for these simple fingerings is a key component of the Keith Richards sound. A capo on the 4th fret is pretty typical too. Tumbling Dice has to be one of the most fun guitar tunes to play off all time (at least for me) once you get the hang of it. But once you take Keith's advice that "all you need is five strings, three fingers and one arsehole" dozens of Stones riffs practically fall out of the guitar. A song I've posted, "Black-n-Blue" uses a very basic Open g riff.

Thats right I'm back tonight with the first Wizzie Mix n Mash in 2 Weeks... we finally have the internet sorted at joeys parents so we can do the shows... we move out in 4 weeks though so we have to deal with this joyas occasion then, but we should have 4 weeks uninterupted nuttyness on nexus, and hopefully if I can time everything right it wont be interupted in the next move.

Anyway tonight should be a pretty good one, no only do we have the Gunslinger Album - Earthquak in E-minor - to play out for you, but we have an exclusive interview with nigel potter and a never before heard acoustic track

We also have had some new submisions for SONG OF THE YEAR 2008: http://www.nexusradio.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?id=996 we've got new tracks from the likes of: Tsargoth, Blake Tobias, Amber McDaniel, Mike Kissel, Ken Lazor and anyone else who reads the post and follows the instructions

We also have some new tracks from Charlie Beige, Brian Ralston, The Rye, Amber McDaniel, Mobymkii and Yummy

We also have got ourselves a cheap SIM Card for an Old Mobile phone, so if you can't make it on to teamspeak, but still want to talk to us or Send a text than our Number is: 07530446917, If your Dialing from Over Seas You may need to change the number to 44 7530446917, or if dialing from America/Canada then you will need to dial as follows 011 44 7530446917 - Remeber this phone will only get your through to Myself or Joey, But in time we hope to find some way to make an actual "Nexus" phone that redirects to whomever show is live
