like, I was mostly looking at the length of this thread and going "oh ILX, I love how you overreact to things" and then I heard bits of "Single Ladies" and "September" and now I want to murder everyone and everything.

yeah, exactly. indie = yuppies make a hell of a lot more sense than indie = hipsters. intersection point is whole foods, not an artist's garret and/or shooting gallery.

their music is corporate folk
In what conceivable way is their music "folk" (excepting by virtue of its not being played and sung by horses)?

Parsing 'indie' vs 'hipster' ITT is like parsing the tonal qualities of a car alarm. My point is RAARRRGH OMG MAKE IT STOP.
On the other hand, I love you ILM.

omg so fucking fitting that they opened for The Dresden Dolls as I was going to mention them upthread as another example of a band like this that should be made to disembowel each other while being broadcast on a Jumbotron

Don't you have anything better to do with your time than hate a tv commercial? Or hate someone cuter than you? What an idiot and what an incredible waste of time.

In re the effectiveness of the commercial: I kind of like the image of people angrily rushing off to buy hyundais and not quite knowing why.

If you mean "drummer standing up" I really dont think anco started this, i mean ffs bands like the Fall and Big Black have had standing (and duelling!) drummers years ago. And uh I dunno, Moe Tucker?
― Ex Loin Tamer (Trayce), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 00:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, but that trend didn't exact exactly last up until now.
― heh (kelpolaris), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 00:13 (thirteen years ago) link
considering those aforementioned bands were from the late 80's, mid 90's. I'm sure there are outliers but it's definitely a thing I have noticed in the past couple months whenever I go to the DIY venue here in town. p. much ever since post mpp
