LOL, well, I can safely say that I know exactly what you mean. It's just so stupid that these amazing bands have been out there for years and that all of a sudden just one of them gets picked up by a bunch of mainstream kids and gets completely raped in terms of well, being completely hyped. I mean, first off, it's just annoying, lol, like you pointed out, and second, I always feel like; there's millions of other bands just as great and all of these dumbasses are just completely ignorant on them. =/

Like, the Bloc Party album had been out here for a couple of weeks already, and then they played Pinkpop, a half mainstream/half not so mainstream festival. All of a sudden they were all the hype. I was in some record shop and everytime a teenybopper would come over to the counter I could exactly predict what record they were holding. Yes, Silent Alarm.

I say let indie stay indie!
