― Paula G., Wednesday, 2 April 2003 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

So what kind of label a record is released on is more important than the music within?

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Is that a rhetorical question, sucka?

― Paula G., Wednesday, 2 April 2003 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

ACTUALLY THE REASON WHY ALL GOOD BANDS ARE ON SMALL LABELS IS THAT SO FEW PEOPLE HAVE GOT ANY TASTE.

Change for fifty pence? Wha?

― -- -- (amateurist), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

The best bands will usually eventually end up on large labels. And just because they end up on large labels doesn't necessarily mean they start to suck.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 19:30 (twenty-two years ago)

what about the beatles?

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 19:31 (twenty-two years ago)

apple = indie label

― Paul in Santa Cruz (Paul in Santa Cruz), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Um, Apple = boutique subsidiary of major label, no?

Does this mean I can once again freely admit my gay love of Julian Casablancas

― SplendidMullet (iamamonkey), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 20:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I got into a really retarded "argument" the other night with a guy who claimed "indie = released on independent labels", but went on to tell me that Ani DiFranco is not indie.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 20:05 (twenty-two years ago)

yes just please don't let certain ILE posters here you or their ocd will kick in

Geir: The best bands will usually eventually end up on large labels. And just because they end up on large labels doesn't necessarily mean they start to suck.

B-b-but this statement is so weak! Don't you really mean that they're then necessarily better cos their employers are huger?

(Warning: This may not make sense to non-readers of Norwegian football newsgroups.)

Maybe we (Indie lovers) have some recessive gene that makes us hate commercial and "top 40" music... ;)

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 20:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, the top 40 keeps stealing all the indie muso's ideas after the indie people have already wrung the idea dry and have grown bored with it. (...actually, I *don't* know if I'm joking or not...)

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 20:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I asked Stewart Henderson, the Delgados' bassist, what he thought of the term 'indie', and his reply was along the lines of (not exact quote): "I fucking hate and despise the word 'indie'. It always seems to get used in the context of feyness, underachievement... it doesn't mean anything anymore, maybe it did once, but now it means nothing - you sit me down with a fucking graph and a fucking pie chart and you tell me what that word means."

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 20:44 (twenty-two years ago)

real music is what black people used to make before the mid-seventies (read-jazz, soul, blues etc)

― therealpapasmurf, Wednesday, 2 April 2003 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to avoid read-jazz. Am I indie?

― OleM (OleM), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

(Amateurist -- my apple equation was a dumb joke with no real knowledge to back it up; I thought Apple started out independent [?] and was sold to some company against Paul McCartney's wishes, but I don't really know, and it doesn't make my original joke any less dumb!)

― Paul in Santa Cruz (Paul in Santa Cruz), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 20:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Stewart Henderson is OTM

All the 80s hits by Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan were actually released on an indie label....

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 21:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Jive Records (Britney, Steps, Backstreet Boys) is technically an independent. All their releases count toward the indie chart, or at least they did a couple of years ago.

THAT IS OK CAUSE I FUCKING HATE AND DESPISE DELGADOS. FUCKING NO TALENT LOSERS.

― , Thursday, 3 April 2003 03:17 (twenty-two years ago)

DELGADOS JUST HAVE THEIR PANTIES IN A BUNCH BECAUSE THEY ARNT HIP AND THEIR RECORDS SUCK HARDER THAN A TWO DOLLAR PROSTITUTE.

'packa-9-milli' seems a little clumsy and doesn't roll off the tongue like 'hunta-d' (wait, that doesn't roll off the tongue either)
