Indie-war on my facebook status...[start off...
(start off talking abour radiohead's kid a)
Jaren Feeley: kid a isn't my favorite but it was a cohesive work of art at least, and i can respect that. i like it more than hail to the thief though. haha and allen, i have had countless ideas shot down hahaha, probably for the better though.
Alexander Ellenberg: ^Dude is so indie he didn't like their most indie album.
Allen A. LeiYoung: in the end its all in the sound isnt it? I'm starting on kid a right now haha
Alexander Ellenberg: Change that music box in your profile Allen. You are losing too much indie cred by saying you like Paramore and I Set My Friends On Fire.
Allen A. LeiYoung: holy crap thats still there?
Alexander Ellenberg: Change it before anyone notices
Jaren Feeley: i think we all have a few (musical) skeletons in our closets (itunes) though.
Alexander Ellenberg: I don't use iTunes. I'm too indie. I buy vinyls from Urban Outfitters and Amoeba Music and play them on my record player from the 60's.
Jaren Feeley: LOL you are way too obsessed with being "indie" dude.
Alexander Ellenberg: I've got so much indie cred I had to open up a Swedish bank account to store it all in.
Jaren Feeley: and if you were truly indie you wouldn't buy vinyl from urban outfitters, you gotta support the independent record stores!
Alexander Ellenberg: I'm on a budget here and the indie stores charge extra for using credit cards.
Jaren Feeley: YOU USE A CREDIT CARD? DECIDEDLY UN-INDIE!
budget means used vinyl, any true indie would know that.
Alexander Ellenberg: HOW THE HELL ARE INDIE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO BUY STUFF? CASH? THATS GANGSTER.
Jaren Feeley: anything but credit card man, otherwise you are succumbing to THE MAN.
Alexander Ellenberg: THE MAN AINT GOT SHIT ON ME.
Allen A. LeiYoung: .-.
Alexander Ellenberg: I'm so indie my Pandora radio plays songs from bands that have less than 5k listens on their Myspace.
Jaren Feeley: my favorite band is so underground they haven't formed yet.
Alexander Ellenberg: I'm so underground, just call me Diglet.
Jaren Feeley: i forfeit this battle of douchebaggery.[he ends up keeping it up]
Alexander Ellenberg: I'm so indie, I still use a black and white television to watch TV Land.
Jaren Feeley: i bet you own cardigans too.
Alexander Ellenberg: I'm so indie, I was donating to Haiti before the earthquake. I'm so indie, I was wearing cardigans before your grandfather.
Jaren Feeley: i'm so indie, i don't constrict myself to a title :)
Alexander Ellenberg: I'm so indie, I stopped using tumblr before you even heard about it.
Jaren Feeley: are you in a band alexander?
Alexander Ellenberg: I'm so indie, I got mistaken for being in Death Cab for Cutie.
Jaren Feeley: i'm so indie, i masturbate exclusively to zoey deshanel. but that doesn't answer my question!
Alexander Ellenberg: You disgust me. No, I'm not in a band. I have a solo project.
-This Alexander Ellenberg kid is so fking indie. So many props.
