its true that if i smell indie rock i tend to run in the other direction...
i like scott t. though! he was gonna write for uncool. nice guy, ilxor, good writer, wrote an interesting book about one of the few 90's indie rock albums that i would read an entire book about.

I'd read longform indie rock articles if there were also articles about things other than indie rock that made me feel like a thoughtful person -- like science fiction movies, or Doctor Who companions, or urban planning, or turn of the century machine politics.

as j0rd pointed out the “a site that understands that Taylor Swift, Animal Collective and Lil B are all worth writing about” line is especially funny, not just because as he said there are sites that do that already but because it's a little quaint how they aimed for the 2012 zeitgeist and hit the 2010 nail right on the head

thanks scott.
I won't speak for Dave or Dan about all the schadenfreude so many people are experiencing right now. As far as I'm concerned, I really would have enjoyed writing some articles for them. I also would have enjoyed getting paid. Oh well, now I'll go back to writing for myself and not getting paid for it.

It needed Dave Cool on board.
