Pie Chart Topping

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

Morningwood - Nth Degree 9
Sir Lancelot - Pan american way 9
Bodies Without Organs - Gone 9

Gene Serene & John Downfall - The Hours 7

Coldplay - Talk (Jacques Lu Cont Mix) 6
The Knife - Neverland 6

The Knife - silent shout 5
Cat Power - The Greatest 5
The Knife - The captain 5
The Knife - Marble house 5


Morningwood still at the top, but now sharing their slice of the pop pie at 9 plays each with Pop World Cup entries: Bodies Without Organs (yay the all conquering* swedes) and Sir Lancelot (plucky Trinidad/Tobago). England trailing behind in 4th place... BREAKING NEWS swedes swizzed as England qualify!! What mad science is this?

However winning on points - as predicted last week- are Teh Knife with FOUR songs. My that's almost an entirely new album there. I suspect that the mysterious TARWATER may feature here next week. SEE YOU THEN

This is preposterous.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

It doesn't mean everything ft. guitar = indie of course. Why do you think it's preposterous? Name me some Indie Music that's not guitar-dependent.

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Magnectic Fields
Baxendale

.......

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

yes MAGNETIC FIELDS!!!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Aren't all those wimpy synthy bands like the Postal Service still indie? Nitsuh is yer man for non-guitar indie.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I had always assumed Magnetic Fields were guitary, having never really heard them!

Baxendale are as Pop as they are Indie (the point, presumably), though I understand that attempting to co-opt the two makes you purely the latter according to some (EH?)

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

I suppose Baxendale are indie because they are, like Tom says, WIMPS.

Or something.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I guess with some of these acts it's also a question of their distribution and physical gigging existences - generically they may not play 'indie' but they certainly form part of an indie 'scene'. I would be quite surprised if this wasn't true of the Knife too.

I JUDGE THAT...

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

it is the passive-aggressive deployment of wimpishness that = nindie-ness

viz I AM WEEDY and a TALENT SHUT-IN= i am morally superior to anyone who has mastered a SOCIAL TECHNIQUE like eg AMIABLE CONVERSATION (=tricks and snares and evil lies!!) (you puny ants!!)

bah. you academic types and your 'applied wisdom'.

Re: I JUDGE THAT...

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

YES.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Robyn OH WAIT

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Rufus and Fiona and Tori officially NOT INDIE :D

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

Rufus isn't indie! Come now! Lex!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

"come now"

I heart Rufus.

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

Good grief, man! :)

Fiona def. not indie, tho.

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

Cat Power IS tho.

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

"End of."

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

But she plays the piano sometimes too!

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

There is no sense in which Tori isn't indie. She may be that "good indie" that we were discussing yesterday Alex, I really felt we'd made a breakthrough there...

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

BOLLOCKS.

[juror8.livejournal.com]

Lex, are you saying that rape victims can't be indie?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Stereolab.

I like ONE Stereolab song.

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

But there is only one!
