May all those in your presence, bask in the glow of such noble intentions. Can't you bitches debate without lowering yourselves to this level? I can accept the heavy handed comments but this bullshit rhetoric, lack of inevestigation into one another's POVs and the absent pursuit of even a nominal amount of enlightenment is tiring and speaks to stunted mental growth. Grow up. PS I AM THE BEST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 hehe deranger - you can be my eugoogle-izer at my funeral, thank you for the kind words deeps - i love a good debate as much as the next guy. it can't start on the basis that everyone who likes a certain (stupidly)-labelled 'genre' of music is a snob though. I, many of my friends, and many other people do happen to like music that would fall into the 'indie' stream of things. They / we / I realise that the points deranger is making simply aren't true. I guess he's had a few experiences with people who he can easily categorise into the 'indie-music-snob' area. But I just don't accept his argument. I guess that makes me a bitch. I'd love to debate it in person sometime, or introduce you to some people that could dispel the myths in your head, deranger. But I'm not gonna post in this thread anymore (I hope). Too counter-productive. I still really like Grand Theft Bus. Good article Shain. AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeps Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 :blush: Nice article by the way.What are your thoughts on the Jam/Indie mindset? It seemed to be that you were speaking to it in the article and I was wondering if you saw it healing or if it even needs to or how it makes you feel for that matter.Deeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Large Marge Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Will I see you tonight at NMAS? Hmmm I hadn't been planning on it. I do LOVE them (and you) but the Marginator is going on what looks to be a "date" tonight and needs to try and behave. If it backfires early enough I might still be able to make it down for the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainhouse Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 scenes are just excuses to not see music. we're all guilty of it. music is music... good or bad. that's pretty much what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backbacon Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 whenever I go see an indie band, it's easy, I just display my indie-snob persona. And guess what? It's all good brah! Now what to do with a half indie/ half jam band like GTB... jeez, I'm gonna be a tough one to get along with this Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 first off...Nice article Shain! second...my friend Randy from work is a great example. He's into the indie scene BIG time. Now that he's got a taste of GTB, BnB, The Slip, he goes to all of those shows. We're always talking about how fine of a line it is between the interests of the 2 crowds.There's no way you can generalize snobs anywhere, because they ARE everywhere. Just find the non-snobbies and hang with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 i love bacon. i havent even read the article yet - this thread was awesome, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palms Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Exclaim! is pretty jam friendly, truth be told. There have always been a few people writing about stuff on there, but there's not really fans in the editorial department. Actually, one editor is really into it, but most aren't.The thing you have to remember about the magazine is, they don't assign articles for the most part. Their contributors pitch stuff and then the editorial dept decides what to actually say yes and no to. I have had loads of jam related stuff turned down over the past 10 years...
