Oh man. I really hope that was what they were referencing.

well since they are listening and watching, i better start one upping myself by posting even more nonsense that miss p. doesn't like, and false rumours about what is perceived as "cool" by the masses that read print.
i think moby met jesus once in dc. he was there, so he can't deny it. he signed her shirt with a funny character, and she smiled about it the rest of the evening. hopefully by friday, he will have heard about this as he goes through the style section over morning tea.

Looks like I've become a little "weblebrity" myself…
And unless I'm gravely mistaken, I've never been to HFStival.com, and I've certainly never wasted key strokes in a discussion regarding Taking Back Sunday.
Got another one for ya: Billy Idol
less prolific than zimmerman, but 100 times sexier

I am sure they would like to drum up some more traffic for their WaPo blog, so ignoring it might be better that flooding the comments. Just sayin'.
Wait…what am I missing here. A board of indie snobs have their knickers in a twist about being called 'indie snobs'
The only person on here that I could even consider an indie snob is snailhook but he also likes Steely Dan and shit like that. Again, this is by no means a harsh environment. I don't see why WaPo thinks so.
I know people who have never even heard of Wilco. To them, all of us are "indie snobs". Well, if they knew what indie was we would be.

I kinda liked it.
I believe Snailhook to be genuinely wanting to enlighten the masses of things going on that you may find really good but not find in your run of the mill rag. I've noticed him trying harder than anybody in the area to bring more obscure acts our way. He should be commended and he certainly shouldn't be conscrued as snobbish.If you like what's spoon fed to you fine and dandy, but don't blame the man for trying to offer you a valid alternative.

I guess what I said about snailhook came across wrong. It wasn't a dig on snailhook at all. The guy brings all manner of music to the area and provides his own house as the venue.
I can only imagine that on any given sports forum that the all your going to find is bickering. Sure there are differing opinions, but if everyone had the same exact taste in music then the world would be an awful dull place.
and i really don't see the snobbery here as people seem to support a wide range of artists… snobbery would be a forum where we only discussed prog rock bands and looked down our noses at all those no talent punk or garage rock bands. sure we look down our noses at limp bizkit but thats only far isn't,

We support a wide range or artists as long as they are not jam bands, smooth jazz, mainstream country, mainstream metal, mainstream r&b, or Jack Johnson. You know, the genres of music 99% of Americans actually listen to.
To say that this board is not filled with indie snobs is laughable.

This board:
1. Is almost exclusively bands raved about on Pitchfork.
2. …or NPR.
3. However, once they appear on the cover of "Spin" most board members would prefer that they "just remain friends."
4. Certain mainstream artists (B-52's, Cher) are raved about but a.) only ironically and b.) only if a female (like miss p) likes them first. That's the signal that it's ok for sweetcell to be enthusiastic about Barry Manilow.
5. But no mook bands.
