Lobster Bucket: still not talented enough to make good blog titles

i don't want to sound too sweeping, but leftist nautical antiques and mirror universe are some of the reasons why i still love this music. if i were a band, i would only want to be signed to one of them (or mexi summer or transparent records or the (defunct?) animal image search).

a lot of blogs/people are talking about how 'this is the end' of indie or 'indie has been dead for 2.5 yearz' or 'indie was dead after the arcade fires released their debut album' or or 'indie was dead after the vampire weekends released their debut album' or 'indie is dead because mgmt was @ the grammys' or 'indie is dead because no one releases sique bangers anymore' or 'indie is dead because the crystal castles don't really exist anymore' or 'indie is dead because the fallout boiz (apparently) broke up today.'

i've heard a lot of 'hipsters' in my classes snickering lately when anyone mentions 'indie' because they say it's 's00 dead.' i think we just have to roll with the punches, independent music can never die. maybe the radiohead/modest mouse/arcade fires/vampire weekend/mgmt sound is no longer 'indie,' but 'independent/alt' music still(and will always) exist. i like leftist nautical antiques and mirror universe because they seem to represent something refreshing. they release (typically) lo-fi/chillwaves music that i like a great deal. thinking about buying a bunch of their tapes/7". sorry for getting all upset with 'the scene' the other day, i guess that's just the nature of the beast.

i like blogging because i like listening to music. in conclusion: the hipsters may die out, but i'm pretty certain the music will still be around.
