Trade Magazine like BILLBOARD except for Independents

[pisces7378]

Hey Guys,
I was wondering if anyone was aware of any “trade-magazine” other than Billboard that might be more helpful to an Independent Record Label. The “Charts” in Billboard are so broad that unless you have sold a gazillion records already you don’t seeit in Billboard. Are there any indi-trades worth checking out? If so, do they have a corresponding website, because I am living in Europe at the moment and it might be difficult for me to find them in a store. Here in Munich it is even difficult to find the English Billboard.
Also, I am familiar with a dozen or so websites that deal with independent record labels, and I was just wondering if I could ask everyone to spill their guts, and dish out their “Bookmarked” indi-sites...i.e. Revelation Records etc... I’ll be your best friend. Thanks!

Thanks a lot guys,
Mike

I imagine that if you are aware of specific independent label sites then you're probably already aware of this one, but I have http://www.indie-music.com/ bookmarked. To be perfectly honest I haven't spent more than five minutes on the site, so I can't really offer any insight on it. Good luck in the Munich scene.
