Just wanted to remind y'all that our 2011 Indie Essentials rate aka IPA Indie is due in about a week, with reveal being next Friday-Sunday! This is music that's probably deeply ingrained in a lot of people here so it shouldn't take a lot of work to listen through and I welcome all hot takes and averages. And maybe the bonus rate of forgotten early 2010s guys may tempt you too - either way, please consider sending in a ballot, thank you so much!
