Fun Stuff > BAND
The recent popularity of good bands.
Inlander:
That brings up another issue in the whole stupid mainstream/indie thing: a band may get saturation coverage in the U.S. (as sp2 suggests), but be almost unheard of in New Zealand (from where Gryff is posting). Take another example: Paul Kelly. Mainstream as mainstream can be here in Australia (by which I mean not that he's crap - he isn't - but that he's a household name), but of only specialist interest anywhere else.
Gryff:
The Arcade Fire would only really get played on University Radio here, and the only time I've seen their music videos has been on specialist "alternative" programs on our music channel (of which there are very, very few).
I guess I don't really know what the situation is like in the states. What, are they being heavily played on MTV or something?

Whether you are one or not, every indie snob says that.

haha. sadly, i'm about as uncool as i'm sure sp2 thinks i am.
i kinda like it though. no expectations to live up to! woo!!
Kid Modernist:
I'm not really a snob, but I admit to thinking people have shit taste if they have an abundace of really bad bands. But I mostly say "I think those bands are crap" not so much "Those bands suck"...
I don't know how you get cred, but that doesn't matter as long as you throw up the horns when you are rockin.
tigerlily:
exactly. it's the I THINK, or IN MY OPINION that make the world of a difference.
damn. i gotta get me some horns apparently...
