Why do indie babes rock our world so much?
There really is something special about a girl with a guitar who can knock out a song you would actually not be ashamed to own on your iPod.
But, why? Is it because, unlike their Hollywood counterparts, they actually have some kind of talent? Or is it because, unlike their Hollywood counterparts, they remind you of the smart girl at school who suddenly became really hot in later years?
Or could it be because, unlike their Hollywood counterparts, they are the kind of girls you might possibly, possibly, possibly have a chance with? That is, of course, if record sales are down and you are the only straight guy who actually goes backstage to tell them how much you like their music.

Now, we know what you are thinking - and we agree. The concept of an 'indie' music genre has become so blurred nowadays it's become almost obsolete. But we needed an easy tag to stick all these sexy girls under – and this one seemed the most appropriate. It could equally be called 'The 28 Sexiest Women Who Can Knock Out A Tune [Usually Involving A Guitar] That we Would Not Be Ashamed To Have On Our iPods', but we thought it might be too long.
Besides, to show the age of some of our writers, we have even included some artists who were even around at a time when 'indie music' actually meant something.
As always, not that you need any encouragement you miserable bastards, please tell us your suggestions.
We like free things, and this week has been brilliant for poor people like us getting things for nought.
CSS are the ace Brazilian band who emerged a few years ago with a feisty record full of no-holds barred indie electro complete with equally feisty lyrics. Proving that girls can actually rock out, their live gigs are full of energy, confusion and the occasional flash of nudity.
CSS have served up a new single called Rat Is Dead (Rage) as a taster for their second album Donkey. We don’t know if it’s a tribute to Shrek’s bumbling sidekick, but we won’t let that put us off. Interestingly enough, this download sees a distinct lack of electronics and a heavier use of guitars. It’s still bloody class, and if you don’t like it, just go and listen to the dire Coldplay offering that they made available today. Honestly, funeral music was a non-existent genre until they made Violet Hill available.
