Original Indie
Rubby:
I don’t usually do this but...OMFG! If you don’t like it, don’t listen to it. I mean, what is it that compels you so drastically to seek out music which, in the past, has proven itself to be less then enjoyable for you to listen to?
That being said – have you heard the Islands album. It’s like “fuck yeah!” It takes some getting used to if you’re a fan of The Unicorns, but it’s worth the effort, fo sho!
That’s my suggestion, The Islands’ “Return to the Sea”.

really, it doesn''t necesarially have to be Indie, ust anything that is good music that doesn't sound boring.

Because to look very deeply into someting and come out of it knowing that it's not what you want is better than looking at the very first bare minimum layer and deciding then.

--- Quote from: Evilpopsicleguy ---hey, I hate to perpetuate Indie Stereotypes, but I'm having trouble finding any good music that isn't the same old boring, whispery vocals and jumbled, awkward instrumentals. Where's all the stylized Indie bands, like The Decemberists, and The Flaming Lips, and The New Pornographers, and Sufjan Stevens and such? Somebody suggest some Indie bands that break this dreary, tedious mold.

Actually, uh, that's indie. That's it. There's nothing exciting, new or original aout it. Except originally there might be a catchy hook or two.
I say: don't be embarassed about it, but embrace pop music. Rachel Stevens and Goldfrapp has so much more to offer than STFUjan stevens.
Kai:
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
You need to go into the drug addled, ultra-pretentious world of the avant-garde. Fuck. Yeah.
Mr Putter:
If you want something that's a little upbeat, try Les Savy Fav, Thunderbirds Are Now!, Gang of Four, Wire, Clor, Brainiac, Polysics, The Mint Chicks...
