The Indigo Girls are proto-StrumDudes.
Interesting. But they certainly don't qualify as emo and they can't go under WSB so that as the main genre under which Strum Dudes falls is out.
The more I think of it the whole definition of emo revolves around it being from a guy's perspective.
Also - the early fan following of BH and DMB came out of the neo-Deadhead and Phish crowd. The jam-band angle has to be taken into consideration in classification.
by this classification I can see why you'd include Elliot and Jeff.
Okay, then, Mopey Dudes, or Mope Rock, or Annoying Mopey Whiney Dudes Who Keep Telling Me My Body Is a Wonderland Until I Want to Smack Them Silly.
But I don't think that would fit on te category sign at Tower.

hides his Belle and Sebastian and Sarah Records from Lyra. Shit, now Jim E-T can see it. Throws an LP cozy over the lot...
All the nice singer songwriter guitar boys are belong to me.
DX, I am about to go to the post office to send you Hec's and Tina's fantabulous CDs. Keep an eye out for them.
Once again, I think I'm the only person writing comments on the liner notes.
Dude, I *love* Belle and Sebastian, and Elliot Smith. Don't like Jeff Buckley's voice in general, but I like his cover of "Hallelujah."
It's only John Meyer and the other fratcoustics who have earned my ire.
joe boucher and I both wrote some comments on the liner notes we've had.
I plan on doing an end-of-the-chain notes on everybody's mixes at the same time when we are done. I am also compiling a best-of-buffista-mixes mix as I get them.
I can't wait to see comments on my liner notes.
I wrote some notes, too, but they were mostly "What Teppy said..."

Well, that's okay, then. Obviously.
And they're now on their way to you, DX.
