i don't like a lot of really hard edge indie bands that everyone else in the world likes

like pavement for instance

I like them.

I'm surprised you don't like Pavement, DrewMG. Have you heard Crooked Rain?

i've given slanted and enchanted 2 or 3 playthroughs and found very little to like about it. i think i've also listened to brighten the corners...

if you didn't like brighten the corners, then i guess you're just not a pavement fan. SIGH

Modest Mouse is awesome, guys. Their later stuff is more suited for the .org crowd. Good News is chock full of some great stuff. The Moon & Antarctica gets all the pub but I'm not really a big fan of it. They kinda mellowed after that and it's certainly been for the better imo.

6pm: The score stands at 34-34. In order to stay upright and keep their strength, John Isner and Nicolas Mahut have now started eating members of the audience.
