I don't doubt it, I was just providing evidence that Animal Collective does have a pretty big fanbase.
Tom:
The mainstream record companies have developed their own concept of indie music. A current example of this, in yesterday's Sun Herald (Sydney, Australia), mentioned that Damien Lieth is considering forming a band to create a sound that is more "rock and indie". Bands such as Snow Patrol are also considered indie. Sony BMG's re imaging of Modest Mouse is partly an amalgamation of various alt. rock cliches. What may be considered indie by some in the mainstream may be rather different from the view that indie is a massive multicoloured beast with sprawling jellyfish-like tentacles.

This describes me perfectly.
--- Quote from: Johnny C on 30 Dec 2007, 11:38 ---Right now my friends are by and large people with the same overall cultural sensibility as myself. However I spent the bulk of high school being literally the only person I knew outside of these forums who listened to the bands I did. This pretty much reached its zenith when I was seventeen. I can assure you it is a real situation to be in that you know at most one or two people who you can actually have a conversation about the music you love with.

This also describes me perfectly.
Oh jeez do I want to change a lot of things.

Same here.
Johnny C:
I think half of my response was just a knee-jerk reaction to the idea that there are reams and reams of Animal Collective fans out there. It's utterly mystifying.
Jackie Blue:
To be fair, Snow Patrol used to be on an indie label and are friends with indie darlings such as Belle and Sebastian and Mogwai, and the main songwriter in the band even did two albums with members of those and other bands under the name The Reindeer Section.
After years of fighting it, I have finally had to admit that "Run" is a pretty great song, partially because the verses remind me of Bedhead.
Jackie Blue:
The song "Run" has a Coldplay chorus, but the verse immediately made me think of Bedhead.
