When You Were YoungThe Killers | Sam’s Town (2006)

He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman like you imagined
When you were young

There will be a backlash from the indie population about any mainstream success. I don’t worry about the indie population. Anyone who’s going to stop liking your band because of the fact that others like you or because you’re covered in the press or MTV are probably not into music for the right reason. It’s probably better to shed those supporters anyway.

Zoom Great acts, each and every one. Even the others I haven’t tried, I’m sure.
Among the above, personal favorites are The Drums, The Black Keys, Radiohead, The Temper Trap, and Vampire Weekend - fine, even a bit Sia. And of course, how can anyone leave off The Beatles?
Inspired to make my own “fave acts” board. Maybe next week.

Portions For Foxes | Rilo Kiley | More Adventurous (2004)

If there’s one thing most commendable about Grey’s Anatomy is that it has a very superb soundtrack, which proved integral in my love for music’s formative years. Today I owe most of the indie/alternative acts I love from the artists they frequently showcase; for example, Rilo Kiley.

Let’s Go Surfing | The Drums | Summertime! (2009)

I wanna learn how to surf. Actually, I just want to go to the beach or swim in the pool everyday because the weather’s sweltering these days it’s making me crankier than my usual. But I do really wanna learn how to surf.

World Spins Madly On The Weepies | Say I Am You (2006)

More from The Weepies. 

Everything that I said I’d do 
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn 
And the world spins madly on

Hideaway | The Weepies | Hideaway (2008)

Don’t The Weepies make awesome music? To be married and make beautiful music together, such is the life. What is it with these indie duos, the likes of The Postal Service, The Ting Tings and Tegan and Sara?

We were driving around in Los Angeles and a blink song came on. I said, ‘Check it out, Blink-182 on the radio!’ and he said, ‘Yeah, that’s cool, but you’re not in my top three.’ He likes Metric, Vampire Weekend, and Silversun Pickups. He’s a bit of a little hipster.

I wouldn’t call myself a hipster, but I find the boy as one with good taste; those are some really cool indie bands. Though Blink-182 and the 90’s-early 2000s music scene’s rad, too. I could listen to that era all day.
