fyi melvins were nominated in this poll and got zero votes, rip melvins

Brainiac was great

Great band out of that scene that is awesome but no one outside of Minneapolis or Albini & Cory Rusk love is Arcwelder

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:14 (nine years ago) link

does silkworm fit in here somehow?

Evan, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:14 (nine years ago) link

Melvins are weird cuz the are partly this scene, partly Am Rep, and partly metal scene

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:15 (nine years ago) link

Skwm were more trad & had some classic rock influences but are def core Albini posse members

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:15 (nine years ago) link

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:16 (nine years ago) link

It's crazy now they are like the Grateful Dead, dudes will pay crazy amounts for limited vinyl or small shows, they were charging like $100 for this thing where Buzzo bartender at Tom Hazelmeyer's bar

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:18 (nine years ago) link

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:19 (nine years ago) link

Yeah wasn't even a show just a hangout

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:20 (nine years ago) link

oh early red red meat is part of this scene too I think. I'm not sure what the topic is right now though.

Evan, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:21 (nine years ago) link

remember being really proud i d'led this one brainiac album on napster

languagelessness (mattresslessness), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:22 (nine years ago) link

Yeah it wasn't really a sound so much as some aesthetic I know instantly but can't articulate... Like Slint was a part too & they are way different

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:23 (nine years ago) link

just figured out that Toko Yasuda from the Brainiac spinoff band Enon is playing moog & guitar for St. Vincent

Darin, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:25 (nine years ago) link

it's so great that t&g stuff is on spotify, i am jamming some brainiac rn

call all destroyer, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:26 (nine years ago) link

when i hear 'indie rock' i think of a lot of that stuff in addition to the pavement gbv matador mid 90s indie rock but i guess they really arent related at all

ciderpress, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:27 (nine years ago) link

def strongly overlapping fanbases tho

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link

indie rock and indie in general was a lot of things not an actual 'sound'. You forget that sometimes in todays climate of all things 'indie'.

Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link

xp
even if yes there was overlapping audiences at times. It was a far cry from 90s uk britpop or whatever you would label post millennium indie

Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:29 (nine years ago) link

yeah, that's why it strikes me as weird when people categorize Haim or whoever as being "indie'. It's as useful of a descriptor as "hipster".

Darin, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:29 (nine years ago) link

iirc the label that was involved also influenced that definition ;)

brain floss mix (sleeve), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:31 (nine years ago) link

im interested in the hipster/indie divide i lived in new york so long i didnt know there were still indies left but then i visited portland and it was full of em i was like wow

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:31 (nine years ago) link

I said upthread somewhere that indie to me just describes a demographic

Evan, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:31 (nine years ago) link

indies buy records, hipsters buy cassettes

brain floss mix (sleeve), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:32 (nine years ago) link

there's plenty of indies in the bullshit college town i live in now but scant dear hipstros

flopson, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:32 (nine years ago) link

sad

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:33 (nine years ago) link

the greatest trick the devil ever played was teaching indies to be sexy (hipsters)

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:34 (nine years ago) link

there's a class element to indie / hipster imo

languagelessness (mattresslessness), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:35 (nine years ago) link

ur a class element

flopson, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:35 (nine years ago) link

i am it's true

languagelessness (mattresslessness), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:36 (nine years ago) link

it def requires less money to be indie than hipster

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:36 (nine years ago) link

indie defensive hipster offensive

languagelessness (mattresslessness), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:38 (nine years ago) link

tru

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:38 (nine years ago) link

just tryin out words

languagelessness (mattresslessness), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:39 (nine years ago) link

I'm very confused. I thought that hipsters could only be defined by what they're not.

Evan, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:39 (nine years ago) link

no u can tell by how the pants are slim cut

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:40 (nine years ago) link

sexy pants

languagelessness (mattresslessness), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:42 (nine years ago) link

major faction of non hipster indies in 2015 is like ppl who got into indie circa cute woodsy bearded lumbersexual picnic in a meadow animal-themed band names circa mid 00's but couldn't get down with the ensuing trends. my roommates bf is like that, all the music he listens to sounds like arcade fire mixd with kind of triumphant lion king soundtrack epic group vocals on the chorus, they play twee songs to each other on guitars in the living room and bake their own bread. glad i made it out of that aesthetic intact

flopson, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:42 (nine years ago) link

indies just wear some like brown pants, theyre not sure where even got them
