"vomitous"
ha! that's bizarre. great minds, eh!
actually having said that, i'd probably prefer to listen to what's designated by kosmigroove (kablewurggh) than yer actual Fire Music/free music
weather report, jan garbarek, jon abercrombie etc etc mean more to me than all the screechers, and even starting to get into roy ayers (having used him as a lazy anti-reference throughout the jungle chapters in energy flash!)
but i'm wandering off topic: what killed indie?
erm it's innately un-rocking timidity and tepidity? its modesty of ambition and spirit?
there's some piece by Greil Marcus or perhaps Lester Bangs where he talks about how a certain great piece of music would deserve the word "virile" if only that word had no gender-coding or loadedness. and that's the trouble with indie. that largeness of spirit that you get equally in the Slits or PJ Harvey as much as in the Pistols or the Doors (or any rap or grime you care to mention) is just not in hardly ever. not that that's the only thing music can be about, but....
the ultimate indiepop song in some ways might be this thing that Looper, the belle & sebastian offshoot, did, a song whose title i forgot, but it's about some long-drawn relationship that drags on for years and years before the boy and girl finally.... hold hands. it's very sweet actually but it sort of distils that whole essence of cutiepop in re. not grabbing life by the jugular
mind you someone told me the C86 lot were at its like rabbits, so perhaps i'm talkign out of my arse.
