I never thought of TV on the Radio or the White Stripes as indie back then or now.


You know Jans, I have to say you're one of my favorite posters. I like your vibe, iirc you're from Philly, I seem to remember you doing something cool like graphic design, you appreciated my Lion Mane-sex line. But this I cannot abide. I mean, "It still moves" ok fine. That was boring. And both Waterfall albums are capital B garbage. But their hits are ****ing HITS.

1. Holding on to Black Metal
2. Highly Suspicious
3. Touch Me I'm Going to Scream, Pt. 2
4. Victory Dance
5. What a wonderful man

Jim James even produced - arguably - the greatest Ray LaMontagne track "Hey, No Pressure"

I DIDN'T KNOW!
