Indie Rock
Indie rock is a Music subgenre, subgenre of rock music that originated in the United Kingdom, United States and New Zealand in the early to mid-1980s.

Foxing (band) Performance 1
Foxing is an age-related process of deterioration that causes spots and browning on paper documents such as books, postage stamps, old paper money and certificates, and on textiles such as clothing and artists' canvasses. The name may be a variant form of the English West country dialect term ''foust'' and Scots ''foze'', to become moldy. Alternatively, it may derive from the fox-like reddish-brown color of the stains. Paper so affected is said to be "foxed". Foxing is seldom found in incunabula, or books printed before 1501. Decrease in rag fibre quality may be a culprit; as demand for paper rose in later centuries, papermakers used less water and spent less time cleansing the rag fibres used to make paper. An early work of art to have been affected by foxing is the '' Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk'', a drawing on paper by Leonardo da Vinci. Foxing also occurs in biological study skins or specimens, as an effect of chemical reactions or mold on melanin. Textiles, such as ar ...
