not a tl;dr, just can't resist the one-liner
Date: 2009-08-21 06:29 pm (UTC)(F'reals, Radiohead is canon, the only canon from this decade I can think of in the sense everyone means, to the extent that not liking Radiohead basically would exile me from "indie" in my offline life if I admitted it. If I had to define "what/who is pop if pop is not!indie" in one sentence, it would be "not listening to Radiohead.")
Re: not a tl;dr, just can't resist the one-liner
