Actually I was looking at recent pictures of Dean and Britta (Galaxie 500, Luna) and was thinking, "I don't remember them being this glamorous."
Damn.

Buffy: Just how I remember it.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Plus the stylish rock star glamour of Sleater-Kinney. Those gals were always well dressed with cool haircuts.
True that, but I was making kind of the opposite point about Kim Deal. She is messy, totally not glamorous, but she is the real deal (ha!) in terms of talent and the cool factor. The stuff that should matter is what usually does matter in indie music, which is one reason I love it.

She's got a new job starting next week. Back at UCSF for (we hope) more money.

Lou Barlow is another good example of the indie aesthetic. Hmmm, I might have to do an LJ write up of Why I Love Indie Rawk as it is a topic near and dear to my heart.

Anyone heard of the Crystal Stilts? They sound like a bunch of different '80s bands (Joy division, REM, Echo and the Bunnymen), but in a good way! eMusic has an exclusive album by them: [link]
eMusic also said this:
After the first-ever Crystal Stilts show in December 2003, Hamish Kilgour of New Zealand band the Clean approached them and said: "You guys were fantastic, the most interesting of the night — it reminded me of when I went to England in '83 and bought the first Jesus & Mary Chain single." Could there possibly be a better start to a career? As Stilts bassist Andy Adler announced, after sharing the anecdote when we met the band, "it's all downhill from there."
