Cnn bit on what is indie… 
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2006/indie.scene/
don’t forget to take the how indie are you quiz… ![]()
Cnn doing a story about what is indie is so not indie.
I think it’s a silly term for silly people. Labels are only good on soup cans. That way I know what kind of soup I’m getting.
The other day I was at a record store looking around.More indie music than ever around but I don`t feel happier about it ![]()
Indie is the big buzz term these days.Next The View will book Modest Mouse,Sonic Youth on Oprah,and the Flaming Lips on Dr Phil ![]()
Oh my! Barbara Walters and Oprah: my two arch nemesises…nemesi? What’s the plural of nemesis?
Yea that’s pretty lame but what can you do? Indie died with Pavement anyways.
At least they have a pic of Kool Keith on that front page.
EDIT: Wait, that’s Talib? Fuck this, listening to his records is like taking a standardized test.
hmm..i took the quiz and i got 2 correct..it said i’m a poser..is that good or bad? 
it’s very very good… 
my score as well, think thats the lowest you can get, automatic scores on the clash & morrissey question ![]()
I got a 5 out of 10. It said "Moderately down: You can certainly hang, but can you hang with the best of them? Not quite yet. Keep doing what you’re doing, though, and soon you’ll be quoting obscure movie and song lyrics in everyday life like it’s going out of style."
Oh well, it was dumb anyway.
I got 3 out of 10 ![]()

I`m a poser and I don`t care

Boy Scouts can earn badges for woodcarving, raising rabbits and firing shotguns.
But in the Los Angeles area, Scouts will now be able to earn their stripes by proselytizing about the evils of copyright piracy.
Officials with the local Boy Scouts and the Motion Picture Assn. of America on Friday unveiled the Respect Copyrights Activity Patch — emblazoned with a large circle "C" copyright sign along with a film reel and musical notes…
well i took the quiz and it looks like i’m moderately down.. indie is such a blase term though.. it is just so the corperations can blanket a type of music/lifestyle for marketing purposes.. the clash werent indie they were punk… punk is not indie.. those bozos at cnn are dumb sometimes.
I think it’s a silly term for silly people. Labels are only good on soup cans. That way I know what kind of soup I’m getting.
And after saying this I get 7 out of 10.

four out of ten, and on two of those I just guessed. I have never heard of the tv show arrested development I thought it was a trick question, I thought they were some music thing, I don’t know who directs music videos, Sure Austin is nice for the music but not my first choice
of a "Vacation".
I think indie means four track home recording for 7 on 7 spaghetti eating recording artists.

Most of what is called indie today never used a four track ![]()
