They played the "Indyfest" I went to in 1997 at Adelaide Uni. Indy is supposed to be alternative yeah? Especially back then.

OT but Indy is the most inappropriately used word in the music world these days, and it kinda annoys me
Indy was just that independent of the big labels (often because they weren't good enough). Nowadays it's far easier to be Indy as you don't need to produce physical records and home editing is relatively easy. You can still lay claim to the title.

You are right, an Indy band is any band that is on an independent (or DIY) record label, irrespective of genre. But I often see it used as a genre description, basically any band who sounds like the Strokes or Arctic Monkeys are called Indy. Both those bands are on the major of major record labels, Sony and Warner Bros. Hardly independent.

My annoyance comes from many years of my favourite genre, punk, being misappropriated. It really doesn't matter that much at the end of the day. I sometimes get annoyed at the silliest things. Don't get me started on people's opinions on what "crispy bacon" actually is.

Delicious?

IF BACON DOESN'T STAY DEADLY STRAIGHT WHEN YOU PICK IT UP FROM ONE END THEN IT IS UNDERCOOKED AND IF YOU DID THAT DELIBERATELY YOU NEED TO DIE.

Amen. It helps if you bake it in maple syrup too. Short cuts only.

EDIT: I think short cut is the wrong term, I'm trying to refer to the strip bits without the eye
 
I hate that cheap bacon shit. The real stuff is the stuff you get from your local butcher and have to slice thinly yourself.
 
We want The Radiators, we want The Radiators

Then you got it the wrong way around ;)

But both are good if you cook them enough. That's my point.

Look, all that really needs to happen is for someone in Hungry Jacks upper management to go to the US and eat a bacon deluxe from Wendy's, then come back here and sort their shit. It's not hard.

After yesterday I thought you'd tread a little more carefully:)

Yeah that's not in my nature.

Also, I was (apparently) on the pro-Jewish side let's not forget.
 
You people seriously don't like spiderbait?

10/10 best song ever:



I can take them or leave them but that was a lovely little song for its time and place.
 
Also, the missus and I were talking about baby names if we ever have kids. I mentioned that if we had a girl we should name her Zelda. She thinks I'm ****ing nuts.

Am i wrong or is she? Zelda was portrayed as strong and beautiful woman in the video games. What's wrong with that?

She's pissed me off now anyway so I'm going to go and play some Zelda.
