Damn my Butter Fingers! Twice my pinky slipped the the return key, so twice you find this mix listed. I think you can complit it by looking at both lists. If you actually want any infor, let me know. Damn!

Somebody define indie rock for me- please. I can understand why, for example, the New Pornographers are indie, but can't quite figure out HOW I know that why. IS indie really anything, or is it just some people's way of distancing themselves from the abhorrent distastefulness of mainstream rock. Remember what Marge + Homer Simpson said about being cool? Think about it. Out.

Indie is basically music on an indepentdent label, but people like to label bands that have a retro or modern sound to be indie.

If I may quote a source I can't seem to remember right this instant. Thank you.
*ahem*

"Never mind that whole thing about indie rock referring to bands from "independent" labels. We all know it isn't about that. Modest Mouse and Built to spill are on majors. Indie rock is an idea. Indie rock is a way of life. Indie rock is a long ass Doug Martsch guitar solo. Indie rock is a beard. Indie rock is a Death Cab For Cutie song. Indie rock is Conor Oberst and his buddies starting a record label at 15 years old. Indie Rock is dancing on stage with the Flaming Lips in a bunny suit. Indie rock has a history. It's Sonic Youth and the Pixies and Pavement. It's Matador and Sub Pop. It's green shoes and Spam t-shirts. It's embracing absurdity. It's clove cigarettes and smiths covers. It's being cool with being uncool."

While some of that is silly, and some of it is a bit hookey, I think it's alright.

Oh, wait. What does this have do to with my mix?

...but it's NOT emo. This looks like a good mix, by the way.

So, I see you are a fan of Kill Rock Stars/K Records. Riot grrl still lives. We could use you in Olympia.

i love your definition of indie as i love this mix.

hey pozatronic1. i just made a new mix, partly inspired by some of YOUR picks, and my own. thanks for inspiring me!!

my lord, this is extraordinary, if for nothing else, then for the presence of the amazing ill lit. If it were up to me, i would've gotten in a laugh by snuggling the track right up next to Trail of Dead.
nice job.
