it's indie rock and roll to me...
2007 was an amazing year for rock—the thumpa thumpa of house music, the syncopations of hip-hop, the chunka chunka of raggaeton all gave way to the straightforward verse-chorus-verse of guitar rock.
nontstop indie dance party volume 7 (can you believe it? i'm a superstar deejay spewing out rock mixes!) features an uplifting sock hop of pogo rock, scenester grooves and some jams that might make you spill your pabst blue ribbon beer.
put away the disco biscuits and step away from the lazers and smoke machines—instead, slap on some skinny jeans and enjoy some old fashioned rock'n'roll.

Comments
I really love this mix. It's really got a positive energy about it, while still maintaining some of the melancholic undertones common to so much alternative music. Every time I listen to it I hear something new I didn't before.
