apparently, to mr wm. a richards, at least, noticing a "indie" song (loose term, at least when stereolab is involved), is grounds for verbal spanking by the indie police....my point in commenting to the indie commersh thread was just to add my own observations, never did i or anyone else mention the demise of the indie world because built to spill or elliot smith gets played in sears, or at the piercing pagoda... no, i did not get on my soapbox and rant about the demise of all things halllowed and true in an albini-esque fashion....all i said was i heard stereolab in a volvo commersh.... if i liked the orb, i would have mentioned them instead...or spiritualized, as they were involved too.... maybe some of the list ought to spend more time detuning their guitars and rebuilding their moogs ,rather than picking apart meaningless posts by random consumers.... remember there's no me in indie,only 2 i's , staring back at you.....(kinda chilling, isn't it) everything is not nice, but for the most part 3cd/10dollars sets are pretty great... das freshmaker, moneymatt
