indie people

[alexxxxx]

I can't stand british 'indie.' It's so bland (the majority) and samey. And most of the popular 'indie' isn't even 'indie' as in 'independent.'

Some stuff that hasn't been mentioned and is 'alternative/indie/britpop';

Radiohead - In Rainbows. To be honest, this is the best album of the year. It is so amazingly good that even after 30 plays it hasn't worn off and still is amazing.

Radiohead - The Bends & Radiohead - OK Computer are their most famous and my 2 second favourite Radiohead albums, both really good.

The Verve - Urban Hymns. Just an overall great album. Some absolute classics (Bittersweet Symphony, Drugs Don't Work, Lucky Man, Sonnet) and some other class tracks - Catching The Butterfly, Weeping Willow & an overall great album.

Razorlight - Up All Night. Rather good album, great vocals by Johnny Borrell and the band flows so well in the album. Favourite tracks from this are 'Up All Night', 'Stumble & Fall' and 'Golden Touch'.

The Wombats - A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation. Really fast upbeat album with great songs. Moving To New York, Lost in the Post & Kill The Director being my favourites.

The Enemy - We'll Live & Die in These Towns. Great debut album from the Sheffield lads (and yes, they are young!) Favourite tracks - We'll Live & Die In These Towns & You're Not Alone.

More to follow once I get back from training.

You know what's funny?

Radiohead - In Rainbows. To be honest, this is the best album of the year. It is so amazingly good that even after 30 plays it hasn't worn off and still is amazing.

as indie of an album as you can possibly get.

Radiohead - The Bends & Radiohead - OK Computer are their most famous and my 2 second favourite Radiohead albums, both really good.

is the least indie an album could possibly be [labelwise]. Capital/EMI is HUUUUUGE.

not that any of these are bad albums. OK computer is probably my 2nd favorite album ever. However, if you're going to call anything by radiohead strange and incredibly original, it would be Kid A.


But yarrrrr, most of the albums I mentioned before are indie epics. especially "in the aeroplane over the sea" and "daydream nation."

if you're feeling daring and want some more "out there" stuff;

"yankee hotel foxtrot" by wilco
"blueberry boat" by fiery furnaces

oh oh, stars;; 'set yourself on fire' and 'in our bedroom after the war' are IMMENSE. both extremely gorgeous in every way.

Hot Club De Paris - Drop It 'Til It Pops
