Post by: sp2 on 12 Sep 2005, 12:57: Most indie thing:

I was at a dive bar on thursday seeing a local punk band I really like (The Swayback) and some other indie bands (Soular, from New Mexico, and Weather Machines, from South Dakota) which were playing a CMJ sendoff event of some sort. Some indie chick was trying to hit on me and I ignored her because A) I was too interested in the music, and B) she was obviously too interested.

(more A than B, but whatever)

1. After a Karate show in Boston, I travelled down to the Secret Stars' house in Rhode Island with Fred Thomas from Saturday Looks Good To Me, finally getting there around 3 or 4 in the morning. Once we got there, I stayed up talking about metal with Ted Leo and Jodi Buonanno. Fred slept in while Jodi, Ted and I went to breakfast at a health food store in the morning and spent a lot of time talking about the Magnetic Fields and Marine Research.

2. I'm 24 years old and still have absolutely no idea how to read a girl's t-shirt without being afraid that she'll think I'm staring at her chest.

Post by: Garcin on 12 Sep 2005, 14:18: It helps to look puzzled. Unless the boobs in question are unusually large or small. In which case, you should probably try to avoid looking puzzled, else it might be interpreted "Wow, how did boobs ever get so large/small"

Anyway, it's not like, while reading the shirt, you're not seeing the boobs. The point is that your motivation is pure.

Boobs. LOL.

Post by: QHD on 12 Sep 2005, 16:59: Shirt Up!
A Novel By QHD

It was autumn and, as usual, the children had vacated the fields of summer for the angular playgrounds of the city. Michelle noted with a quiet sadness that even among the podgy young toddlers, obesity was ostricised. With a reluctant sigh, she left the shelter of the store to speak with Jared, who worked at the record store just across the road from her own place of employment, Ladyfriends, a trendy new lesbian bar that had made the managerial mistake of opening at 10 in the morning. Still, mused Michelle, at least the pay was good and there weren't so many lesbians. Michelle was straight, or thought she was, for what little good it did her. Despite her ample bosoms and curves, her taste for often politically incorrect t-shirts and her awkwardness around the opposite sex had left her with only her teddy for company ever since she left college... etc etc

in the end it turns out she's a lesbian!!

I respectfully disagree! A proper indie kid does nothing with class, if it can be avoided by any means!

Post by: The Mighty Mopdecai on 19 Sep 2005, 09:44: My brothers blog the most funniest and most indie thing in the world and I swear this man doesn't live on this planet

Why can't you show a man on fire yet you can say pussy pussy
Current mood: cranky

It was watching Cd:Uk hotshots last night during the Franz Ferdinand video"Do you want to?" there is a man on fire shaking hands with a man not on fire but it was blurred out.

Later on there was another man on fire not blurred but we saw him getting put out, though on the Les Rhythems Digitals video

Between this was a song that had the chorus,"I want some pussy pussy" (Jamesy P - Nookie)

Now how come you can say that but yet can't show men on fire, we know they are not hurting themselves and it was 1 o'clock at night i'm more offended by the pussy pussy than the man on fire thank you

you = whore.

most indie thing = when i was about 16, i waited outside a 21+ show to talk to dug martsch from built to spill and when the show was over, i got so nervous, i threw up in the alleyway i was listening from (yes, i was listening from outside... the sound guy spotted me when he came backstage to fix a cable... the door was all the way open... the sound guy actually propped the door open a little so i could hear all the bands). yes i met dug. yes i got my "there's nothing wrong with love" cd signed. and, sadly, yes i got grounded for coming home between 1-2am. my curfew was like 10:30.

wouldn't a hermit be really indie?

That's almost a paradox though. To be indie, you gotta be on the edge of societal norms. But also, people have to recognize it. How could a hermit be indie if nobody knows he exists?

Also, thermodynamics may very well win for most indie moment.

I'm trying to change, honest. But to be fair, if they knew how to treat women it never would've happened.

Let's see, I travelled over five hours to see the Shins cause they were sold out where I lived. Is that indie?
Title: Most Indie Thing Ever
Post by: Kai on 22 Sep 2005, 04:37: that's just nerdy.

Also, the line "treat women better" reminded me of pretty much every Anal Cunt song ever (You were Pregnant so I kicked you in the Stomach, Hooray!), which reminded me of a time when I was trying to explain Anal Cunt to all those kids who wear the crazy Hot Topic pants with the chains and shit on them, and One kid was wearing an Opeth shirt and whatnot. Man, that was the best, since everybody was like WTF. And these are the kids at the school who are most likely to be metal. STOP TAKING YOURSELVES SERIOUSLY, GUYS
