Pick randomly. You're bound to like one.

He covered most of what I wanted to say, but I'd add TV on the Radio, Fischerspooner, Jawbreaker, Quasi and Slint to that list. They're pretty kicking. Fun stuff!

He's just saying that all those people are signed. Haven't you heard DCFC is signed to Atlantic Records? It was like the indie scandal of the century. Just kidding.
But more and more "signed" artist are being described as "indie" it's not technically correct but these mainstream artists are starting to put out a not-so-mainstream sound. Which if you think really hard on it, is bullshit because it's still in the mainstream. AGH, indie hurts my head.
madweasel:
Surprised no ones mentioned Nick Cave yet.
also Marriane Faithfull's last album "before the poison" aint too shabby either.
Oh - I tend to use the completely arbitrary means of judging indie as "Is clearchannel playing you? No? Indie."
Accurate? Not wholly, but no more or less so than half the other confused methods ^.^

Thank you. :D
Death Cab is getting a lot of press now, but uh...they USED to be Indie. In fact, they used to sound like Built to Spill with more keyboards (Something About Airplanes).
Mr. Oysterhead:
Is it just me or are Built to Spill and Modest Mouse the same band?
(Joking obviously, but don't they sound extremly similar?)
