What are some recent-ish indie rock records that are actually worth hearing for someone who doesn't listen to this stuff anymore? I guess I want more art school kid indie rock (that ISN'T ANNOYING!) rather than indiepop, though tunes are a good thing sometimes too. No gimmicks unless they're really good ones. But not boring either.

I dunno. I mostly listen to astrology records.

I was hoping this would be an all-star tribute line-up with Steven Malkmus and Isaac Brock and Doug Martsch trading off verses, all like "Mother, mother..."

I did a search, trying to find the rolling 2k11 thread, and stumbled upon this. I lol'd a bit to find out this is the first ILM thread. I just assumed it was a "Sun Ra - C/D" or a "Steely Dan - S/D" thread that started the madness.

but seriously, did anyone see Reynols before they cancelled their tour? If anyone's gonna save indie, it's a band like that.

^good song but I tend to use EMO to describe nasally, whiny, childish, dramatic and/or flowery vox that really grate on me. And apparently I am more prone to hating these voices as apparent by various indie threads on ILM. Then again, even I like a few singers with nasally, whiny, childish, dramatic and/or flowery vox. Just not as many as everyone else.

'emo' should remain an insult imo. even in conjunction with music

Did we really let the twentieth anniversary of this thread go entirely unmarked? I suppose we were all a little distracted.

There's an analogy between the Five Colleges and Scooby-Doo, with each school a different character. Hampshire is Shaggy. Will Oldham is an alum; he's probably as close to the stereotypical Hampshire student as anyone (hyperintellectual, violently odd, stupidly pretentious).Sorry to correct 20-yr-old misinfo, but Oldham didn’t go to Hampshire. (He attended Brown, but didn’t graduate)

they were probably mixed up with Elliot Smith.

Apparently the offending emo bands were Get Up Kids and Samiam.
