There are a lot of indiepop fans, many of whom don't even like the same two bands as their best mate. Which reminds me, the missus is going to buy the Vampire Weekend album this week...<BR/><BR/>If I only like people who like the same music as I do, it'd be a lonely old life. Er, a number of friends are in bands, with varying degrees of artistic success. They do like good music; they don't necessarily make good music.Fire Escapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455091337934631425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30779796.post-18842153574030022592008-06-11T09:45:00.000+01:002008-06-11T09:45:00.000+01:00I met Bobby Gillespie once at a Razorcuts rehearsa...I met Bobby Gillespie once at a Razorcuts rehearsal (I used to be in Razorcuts, for my sins: in fact, that was the actual reason I was in them)& he was nice as pie. Of course, it depends which pie you like. He was awestruck by the fact that I had a much cooler record collection than him. A harmless little bloke, I thought. But of course that doesn't mean his music's any cop. Just because someone does music you like (or likes the same music as you), does that mean you get on with them? And just because someone's a nice person, does that mean they do or like great music?rkwithnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545579958327672024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30779796.post-65673597508869420012008-04-15T19:11:00.000+01:002008-04-15T19:11:00.000+01:00Excellent!

It's also shown that PS fans are gullible because they know so little about music. You illustrate your problem by thinking "indie" is that soulless stadium rock propagated by the majors. It's not and it never was. From the past 12 months, try The High Water Marks, Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring, The Strange Idols, Edwyn Collins, The Fischers, Pet Politics, The Bridge Gang, The Old House, The Loungs, Agent Simple, Arms, Eight Legs, Zoey Van Goey, Lacrosse, The Soundcarriers, I’m From Barcelona, Wake The President, Douglas Armour, Euros Childs and the Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, for example. There are many, many more.

In fact, make that one tune, in general. Rock n Roll may be crude, but it conveys more emotion and soul than this clever bollocks we have today.

JAMC are the exception that proves the rule. By the way, I've always been puzzled by the period Kevin Shields was in PS, especially live. Just what did he do when they were playing Rocks etc?
