I've been thinking of returning to this countdown, but if I do so, I'm thinking of making it an indie-based countdown. There are so many Top 40 countdowns here, I would like to showcase the music that I've been actively listening to.
Would you guys be interested in an indie-based countdown? Same format and whatnot, just with a larger emphasis on independent artists. I have a preliminary voting list for the first week, but would like to get others opinions before going forth with this revamped countdown.

Your thoughts?
YES YES YES.
I NEED the AlunaGeorge + Crystal Castles + James Blake slayage.
I think it’s a great idea to have an Indie-based countdown. It’s something refreshing to see & I can discover new music and see what you like. I would like but will others agree?
Starting next week (!) this countdown will return, but with an indie-bent.
