This New Year, help out all those who wish they were Indie but aren't. After all, there are indie girls and hackey sack chicks (who are easy, as a rule) out there that need impressing. By me.
Now don't get me wrong, I listen to as much music as I can. But do I -understand- the music? Can I name names and beat beats?
Some of us are not as blessed with good taste as the rest of you. So please, do those who are less fortunate a favor. And have fun too.

Name three commonly known bands, with their top three songs, and a little blurb about each song or the band behind it.
Also name two unknown bands that even indie girls would have to google, to cement our indie cred, then the requisite three songs and blurbs.

And any Indie Slang couldn't but help.

I think you overloaded my capacity to be a righteous dick. You don't know how many sarcastic remarks I could make right now. So, I offer real advice, go jump off a bridge. You seriously think people will fall for this? My god...

Say that you like dicks. In your mouth. Seven dicks, to be precise.

A little homoeroticism goes a long way, especially when someone's penis is occupying your oral cavity at the exact moment in which you're saying it.

Dude you have potential if you cut down on the know-it-all posts, drop the 4chan mannerisms and the inferiority complex. Nobody likes a passive aggressive troll.

"Faggiest" isn't an adjective and nobody gives a shit how long you've been on the internet.

Whats the deal here? Maybe it's because my brain is currently trying to beat itself to death with my skull, but, there's nothing wrong with this thread (apart from being a list thread, but hey, we've all done it). It looks like you guys all just jumped on him for no reason.

The guys' first 40 posts or so were basically him mocking and/or making fun of everyone else in the span of an hour, apparently because he was misinformed of how we do things. I think it's mostly backlash from all the stuff he said on the ILF board.

Wait, I thought the guy who did that was that Cicero jerk, not this guy.

Other than that, yeah, I dunno what prompted Durin's explosive response or the following posts either.

Well, it was rather silly of him. And I was in a rather testy mood to begin with, so that just made it worse. Oopsy. [/rationalizing]

Make up band names.

Wyr · « **Reply #17 on:** 31 Dec 2008, 21:53 »

Don't worry, I don't take it too seriously. Most of what I asked was in a sarcastic way anyways.

We all know that having indie music info wouldn't get me an Indie girl. They require that you -dress- Indie too, and I'm far too stylish for that.

But in all seriousness, I am asking for selfish, semi-poser reasons. I can't memorize band names. Or songs. Ever. Never been able to. My brain is wired to memorize books, math, but names are very hard for me. So when my firneds discuss bands, or music in general, I'm left out. And it's really hard when someone you're just getting to know asks you what your favorite song is, or which band you listen to most, and you can't tell them, because you dont know.
So, I know its a bit of fakery, using what you all know, just to join in on conversations, but I'd trust in the taste of this forum, rather then the taste of anyone on Wikipedia.
After all, you like the comic.

Made up band names? That is...brilliant. Violently Fracturing Habiscus. Singer is Adolf Zelpin, an ex-skin head with a voice like an angel. Lead guitarist transferred from the Inert Radical Hypotni when his band fractured over who got the green M&Ms. Interesting note, the drummer's mother was well known to have slept with everyone from Blue's Guitarist Mendon Trucks, to the entire security team for Kiss.

A good band to know is Oedipus and the Motherfuckers.

That is an excellent band name.

I hear that The Morbidly Obese Penguin Migration is pretty good live when the flutist isn't attempting a didgeridoo solo every two minutes.

I really don't see why you'd want to keep up conversations where you're pretending to know what you talk about just for the heck of it. If that was the case couldn't you just ask your friends what they were talking about anyway? Your posts in this thread makes me think you're an ironic douche, which coincidentally would be a pretty sucky band name. So there.

Wyr · « **Reply #29 on:** 25 Jan 2009, 16:45 »

And Ironic Douche is a horrid band name. Pluralize it, take two, and get back to me in the morning.
