I'm a self loathing indie kid.
To me, being indie means being a pretentious wanker. It means trying too hard to be obscure.
I like to think I'm genuinely obscure. I'm sure all those hipsters use the same raison d'etre, but that's what I think. I don't try to like the music that I listen to, I actually enjoy it.
So yeah, I'm stuck with a really annoying label.
And because I don't feel like doing anything productive, and feel more like deluding myself into thinking I'm doing something productive by working on my blog, here's a sample of some of my favourite songs by my favourite bands!
