You need to relabel your music, because a lot of that is not indie. The New Pornographers Now there's an indie list. You can put in some Stars also.The Shins Tapes `N Tapes Belle and Sebastian Built to spill Tokyo Police Club' Someone Still Loves you Boris Yeltsin Sufjan Stevens Architecture In Helsinki Death from Above 1979 If your into british.

(IE some people I've never met nor will never meet have somehow offended my delicate musical sensibilities by making money off of an album that doesn't significantly deviate from any previous albums nor pander to any mainstream ideal of music, but rather intangibly annoys me to the point where I must express righteous indignation to anyone who'll listen to my baseless complaints). selling out = making a really good debut album then gaining widespread recognition so that they're afraid to deviate from the original formula but don't have the same inspiration as before thus the 2nd album turns into a desperate copy of the first even adding songs that were released previously but remixed slightly = arcade fire i judge music by how good it is son, dont accuse me of that indie moral musicianship shit | ||

The artist gets successful and successive albums are worse because they sound different, presumably because they're motivated to make more money in less time rather than actually putting out artistic content. A lot of fans want to hear the same sound over and over again, and they call it selling out when the group changes or grows ie. Green Day. | ||

Kudos to those of you who've recommended Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith, Postal Service, and Sufjan Stevens. I second those nominations, Sufjan especially. Fuck, I LOVE Sufjan. If you download nothing else I recommend, get some Sufjan. Sample: Some stuff others didn't pick up: Iron & Wine The National Wilco (is this indie? who cares) Damien Rice (I only like 10% of his stuff, but the 10% i like a lot) kimya dawson belle and sebastian andrew bird Okkervil River (definitely try these guys. my 2nd favorite band) | ||

If you want to sit in your little ivory tower and bend the definition of 'selling out' to whatever band you're currently railing against, do it in your own blog. | ||

Nah, Green Day were being labeled sell outs as soon as they moved away from the CA punk scene. That was pretty early on. Not that the people were right, but I do remember San Diego punk bitches getting their panties in a twist. | ||
