Home Office Records' Links to the Performers
The Musicians
Being a Compendium of The Artists in Their Own
Electrons
This is a list of the performers we best love to see, most
love to follow, appreciate most on CD or just plain like and respect as
friends and indie fellow-travelers. Eventually we'll figure out a way to
parse this list into bestest buddies and mere acquaintances -- not as easy as
it sounds -- but for now we've stuck with that time honored crowd-pleaser,
alphabetical order. By last name, like they taught us at skool.
Lists of links have an unavoidable tendency to get stale fast. If you spot a
dead, broken, cluttered or icky link here, please tell us!
