Tesoro de la Red/Web Antics
with Otto Reimer
(English)



Algunas veces el mundo está de suerte y el tesoro abundante de la cultura se salva. La gema de la red esta vez no es otra que Epitonic, un centro de música mp3 en línea que se especializa en rock independiente. Ahora que veo a la música independiente atravesando todo México, sería un buen momento para cosechar y sustraer todos los mp3s que quieras de este sitio, lo más chido es que es completamente legal. Epitonic es como una librería en línea de la mejor música rock que jamás hayas escuchado en la radio, ya sea porque las bandas estuvieron underground o no contaron con suficiente respaldo corporativo. Siendo un crítico musical durante esta era en gringolandia, aquí está mi guía útil para MP3s del mejor Rock Independiente de los 90s en EUA.

(English) Sometimes the world gets lucky and treasure troves of culture get saved. The web gem this time is none other than Epitonic, an online mp3 music center that specialized in independent music, especially indie rock. Now that I see indie sweeping across Mexico, it seems like a good time to harvest and pillage all the mp3s you want from this site, and the kicker is it’s all legal. Epitonic is like an online library of the best rock music you never heard on the radio because the bands were either underground or not corporate enough. Having been a music critic during this era in the states, here is my handy guide to MP3s of the best Indie Rock of the 90s in the USA.
