Alternative bands are outside the Grammys looking in

boston.com — What is alternative, anyway? When it rippled into our vernacular, after "college rock" faded with the '80s, the term meant something, as in an alternative to the majority. What we need is an alternative to alternative: a new category geared toward indie artists who aren't quite established but well on their way.

    What we need is people to stop paying attention to RIAA trade shows like the Grammy awards, and listen to truly independent artists instead. I'll link to http://radio3.cbc.ca/ as an example, I'm sure others can provide more.
