Is it me or has 'INDIE' shit suddenly become the most RAD AWESOME shit in the whole entire world??? Now, I'm not against some Zooey Deschanel in the morning, (far from it...I actually wake up to her music quite often) but by God I could swear I've seen about 500,000 '500 Days Of Summer' posters and trailers lining every back-street of Melbourne. Do self-proclaimed 'indie' artists get pissed off when their work is introduced to the mainstream world? When suddenly every 14 year old wearing Supre is singing along to Thom Yorke and Ben Gibbard? Is their musical integrity jeapordised...or is that just my meds talking?
In other news, this is my first blog! Hooray for me. I don't know my goal for writing this-perhaps I'm hoping it will become a little thearaputic outlet for my often marred mind-and perhaps I will succeed in this hope...or fail miserably! dun dun dunnnn!
Until next time bitches, drop a line...let me know if anyone is reading this! Would be grand! Ta darlings

HOLY SHIT. This has been bugging me for months now. I think it started when Kings of Leon (not that they are technically 'Indie') mainstreamed and suddenly every 13 year old girl was singing them when they have no idea what their old stuff was like or how awesome they were. Its the same with Deschanel and She & Him. Man, I adore that duo but when I hear some stupid girl at school talking about them I can help but get angry. I hope you agree.
ReplyDeleteHaha I know...as much as I hate to say it, Sex on Fire really pisses me off now because EVERYONE knows it...I hope this doesn't make us snobs for thinking this, but you know, I just think of it as wanting something for yourself that not many people know about! Ahh well :P
