Indie Rock Songs

At first, it was hard to believe that for nearly a year there was no official music video for Spoon's smoking hot hit single "You Got Ya Cherry Bomb" [mp3] until this month.

Nonetheless, some fact-checking confirmed that there was no official music video what was clearly one of the top indie rock hits of 2007, even grabbing a number of awards for best song of the year.




Of course there are the usual YouTube videos of the song featuring live performances and people creating their own videos to the song, but this is the first time the official version has been released(finally).

Wow, what a summer, the number of visitors to Indie Rock Cafe and the affiliate websites has steadily climbed for weeks now thanks in part to your emails, word-of-mouth and contributions. (photo, left: The Editors)


For those of you who have asked why there is not more content here on IRS, the answer is straight forward: IndieRockSongs is still getting started, and there are a lot of great and cutting-edge goodies coming soon (based on research of visitor preferences from data collected off IRC and affiliated websites - linked below), so keep sending your suggestions and comments.
