Happy to see this thread back on the first page of GD.
When is it this year? Couldn’t go in 2008 because I was in Louisiana and couldn’t go in 2009 because I was in Iraq.
I’m considering not even bothering with it until 2012, when I’ll actually be living in Austin.
Starts next Wed the 17th - ends that Saturday the 20th
ive never been, and dont have a ticket or anything, going for the free shows during the day and see whatever happens at night.
So much music, can’t wait…
Really excited to see The XX, Washed out, Memory Tapes, Neon Indian especially.
Shit. I only work the 16th and 17th that week. Too bad I’m already about 99.9% locked in to driving to San Antonio to visit an Army buddy that got sent out there.
Enjoy yourself though man, Austin is truly great.
Lead singer just killed himself.
Can’t say i was a fan, but i’ve known about them for a long time, mainly through them touring with Radiohead back during OK Computer…
Anyone check out the new album by MGMT?
It’s a little different than Oracular, but i’m really liking it so far.
Oh yeah and SXSW was pretty fucking amazing…
can this just be an indie music “what are you listening to thread”?
at least that way it would stay bumped.
ra ra riot - boy

AND YOU AND ME WERE ALL LIKE OMFG LETS STAND UP AND YELL!!! and one of the canons was all lame and like hey everybody sit back down and be quiet. and you did. man doesnt that shit mean anything to you? WE WERE THERE, WE’RE HOMIES. remember when sf4 came out and i was like FUCK THIS GAME. and you decided to play it? well, i remember that, at least. i thought we were bros. help me out bro. a bro in need is a bro indeed, bro.
bump
im necro bumping this due to the recent shoegaze and chillwave threads. put all that shit in here. we might as well use this as an indie “what are you listening to?” thread.
also, still dying for an indie torrents invite. DYING.
Indie torrents is invite only?
Indie kids are trying to claim Clams for themselves. Same thing with Frank Ocean, Friendzone, and TheWeeknd as well. Bleh

Also cant wait for The xx’s “Coexist”. XX is one of my all time favorites. Aside from instrumentalists Ive been out the indie game lately
actually indie torrents was one of the first invite only torrent sites on the internet. oink actually used their tracker layout with permission. and now you can see the same thing at mma tracker too.
it all started like 10 years ago at indie torrents. i was registered user number either 26 or 50 or something and then my account got taken out due to inactivity. fuck.
since everyone here is only just getting into chillwave here is something from last yearish

not precisely chillwave but definitely related

depressing song from a really underrated band.
in honor of this kickass commerical…
[media=youtube]ZUG9qYTJMsI[/media]
im posting this kickass track from circa 2005ish?
[media=youtube]kosHCdqV3Dk[/media]
its not really musically indie, just got that irony swagger. it looks like this video is new, maybe he got some kind of music deal in conjunction with that shave commerical. i remember when i was “friends” with kennedy on MYSPACE. lol. he also apparently has done shows at spaceland (now satellite) so i guess thats as indie as you can fucking get.
