A list of great bands you're missing out on:
Animal Collective
Mouse On Mars
Tortoise
Red Sparrowes
Foals (well, their older stuff was better)
Pelican
Giraffes? Giraffes!

Now, I really like the band **** Buttons, but the band name is a major disadvantage when your aunt is going through your MP3 player. But yet again, Obscene name = not having them become too mainstream and have them lose all of their droney ten-minute long goodness.

I know, Empire! Empire! would actually be a pretty cool name, but the last part just wrecks it. But I hate it less now that I found out what it means.

...Black Eyed Peas.

Also - here's your vegetable vs fruit trivia for the day:

Fruit has seeds. Vegetables do not. People, lots of things you think are vegetables are actually fruit

And also hell yes to Red Sparrowes too

Oh, I'm aware. Like tomatoes are a fruit. I was just making a joke... ;)

Like I said in my post... there are rare exceptions. I consider The Animals to be one of those. (Although I don't consider them to be an "indie" band:)

As I said in my post... there are exceptions.
