It is staggering how much better The Absolute Sound is compared to Stereophile when it comes to rock music in general, and indie-rock in particular. Having said that I do like the R2D4 feature, and I did notice a few more interesting titles this time around..The Silver Jews, Sufjan Stevens, The Drive by Truckers, The National, Kruder & Dorfmeister; nothing wrong with bringing obscure titles to the attention of Stereophile readers.

Maybe not obscure among music critics, but I was speaking of the general public and/or the average Stereophile reader.
Music critics?Some of the mentioned albums could only be obscure to those who do not look for new music (or only pay lip service to looking.) A lot of Stereophile readers are quite adept at seeking out bargain gear on the internet - do they realise it's possible to seek out new music as well?
If most of this music is obscure to you, you haven't been looking. Hence my comment about living in a box.
