:yes:

way too many.

I will just name artists and CD's, since I find myself listening to all the songs on these CD's...they are that good. BTW, CD's are usually the digital downloaded CD's from iTunes or the DRM-free Amazon

First up is a Canadian singer by the name of Basia Bulat and her "CD" "Oh, My Darling." Stand out songs are definitely "In The Night," "Snakes and Ladders," and "Touch the Hem of His Garment" (all about the woman with the bleeding who touched Jesus garment)

The next "CD" I cannot stop listening to is "Kismet" from an artist by the name of Jesca Hoop. Phenomenal "CD," and for some reason it is no longer on iTunes, just Amazon. Some stand out songs there are "Money," "Summertime," "Dreams in the Hollow," and the incredibly moving song about Hurricane Katrina, "Love is all we have."

The next "CD" I am enjoying is by a woman from the UK, by the name of Adele, she has a sound similar to Amy Winehouse, but, for some reason, better, in my opinion. Some stand out songs are "Chasing Pavements," "Hometown," and, one of my favorites, "My Same."

I don't know if she would be considered "Indie" anymore, given her mainstream success, but I am really enjoying Sia's newest "CD," "Some People Have Real Problems." Some really amazing songs on that are "Day Too Soon," "Lentil," "Academia," and "I Go To Sleep."

Lastly, though their new "CD" is not out yet, I am enjoying "The Weepies" newest song from their upcoming "CD" "Hideaway," I got the single of the same name by pre-ordering on iTunes (The Weepies are two Indie singers that got married and formed a band..they are one of my favorite bands...even their older "CD," "Say I Am You," was constantly on all my playlists on my iPod for a while).

Almost forgot, I got Tristan Prettyman's newest "CD," entitled: "Hello." It is definitely a bit different than her previous "Twenty Three." I still cannot decide whether I like this "CD" yet or not. I loved her first one, but this one seems to be lacking something.

As you can tell, I like "Indie" music best :)

Oh....I've always loved Tristan Prettyman and Sia.

I have a great recording of Tristan Prettyman and Jason Mraz singing a duet.

They have her song "Madly" as the free download. Better get it today, because tomorrow it will change.
