Yes. Yes, it's a stupid thing to worry about, but it's even stupider
to proclaim a band like AOL the grand champions of some meaningless
notion of indie aestheticism when they clearly don't even fit any of the
criteria for membership.

Hi. I won't argue with you, but the newest rex album, C, is not as bad,
even though it's just too damn long. Doug Scharin is a pretty good
drummer. Well worth the $2 I spent on it.

Hey, it's stupid to say anything else on the whole "indie hero" topic.
It's funny how you can get a string of posts on this topic, all saying
"this whole topic is silly."
Now is when I'd like to say I think the songs on the Laughter Guns are
more fun than most anything on Strings.
