I also like Lou Barlow, Beulah, Eric's Trip, Folk Implosion, Alastair Galbraith, Grifters, David Kilgour, Chris Knox, Magnetic Fields, The Microphones, Neutral Milk Hotel, Robert Pollard, Portastatic, and (Smog).

Wait so you've decided that wikipedia proves Beck and Apples in Stereo are lo-fi but wikipedia directly contradicts you and says lo-fi is just a recording technique, not a genre of music. Explain?

I'm not going to drop this, so good luck trying to dodge this point like you dodge all my others.

I don't really need to since I already explained what lo-fi is and it applies to the Advert's recording quality which is all I was getting at. Not necessarily the Adverts in particular, seriously learn to read I was talking about their recording quality. If wikipedia is good enough for you to copy your taste in music from I don't see why its definition is any less reliable.

Getting back to the original point before you decided to completely dodge the issue over and over and try and argue around it how is Fun lo-fi? The instruments and vocals are all clear, no tape hiss, etc none of that. How is it lo-fi? Please explain this and don't start going on about your supposed knowledge/taste because I don't care too much to be honest.
