Over/Under on indie kids who try acid because of this song: 6
That would be a hot indie couple. Wisconsin is basically part of Canada anyway.
All this list represents is another manifestation of the limbo that mainstream media exists in. They attempt to coexist between the mainstream and the underground, yet that is impossible. Criticizing this list is worthless, I feel more pity for the EW writers compiling this. They can’t have a legitimate list with OKC, Loveless, Kid A, etc. at the top because they’ll be called out for pandering. They can’t have a list that would be based solely on popularity (the list they should be compiling) since they would be called out for ignorance. therfore they attempt to bridge the gap, but this only leads to exemplars of both pandering and ignorance. No use criticizing, just ignore this meaningless list.
I didn’t realize that so many people were blessed with the power of clairvoyance and can already tell me that bands like Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, PB&J, Art Brut, Bloc Party and CYHSY have already peaked. I was going to listen to their future output and make an informed decision, but thanks to all of you, now I don’t have to. Unless, of course, I’m mistaken and you’re not clairvoyant but are, instead, exteremly gifted in the art of talking out of your collective asses.
/Does that Jon Stewart schtik where he adjusts his tie and makes nasal jewy sounds and clears his throat.
At least she has that acting thing to fall back on.
I’ve been disappointed and frustrated by this list. Not the list itself, but without Pitchfork reviewing new records and songs, I have no idea what I should be listening to.
