you make me angry.
can we go back to peter tosh and sprite?

no.

But i have a superior topic. If you were a successful band that was so successful, it could only be described as "indie" what would you do to go down in the history books as the coolest band ever?

See me, I'd hype up an album for a few months, and then rather then release it, I'd play the whole thing at a random concert on a tour and never play it again. Bootlegs would be every hipster's wet dream.

Okay, more ideas, go.

I'd kick Thom Yorke in the nuts.

i'd release an album that was in slow motion and reverse, so the only way to listen to it would be to put it in your CD player and hold down the reverse button. since it'd be so slow, the speed of the reverse would make it play at normal speed.

it'd also be on 8 discs that you need to play at the same time. not on cue, like Zaireeka, but first you start disc 7, then 5 seconds later you start disc 3, then 34 seconds later you start disc 6, then 4 minutes later you start disc 1, then 5 seconds later you start disc 5, then 6 seconds later you start disc 2 and 8 and 4 at the same time. and keep in mind you have to hold reverse on all 8 CD players. it's so experimental.

Die, then release my album.

i'd release a CD that when you opened up the case, instead of a CD, you'd get a bunch of paper with a list of code on it that you must input into a computer.

I'd release an album with a recording of me kicking Thom Yorke in the nuts.

But get this, it would sync up with me kicking Kevin Shields in the nuts. crazyyyy

rofl sr800 :lol:

I'd put out an album that was just blank and the only way to get any music would be to personally email me a picture of yourself and why you think you're worthy of my music. Then if i accept you as a candidate, send in the blank CD with a three page essay on how awesome I am. Then if i like the essay, I'll burn the music onto the CD and send it back. If i don't, I'll send you back an anthrax napkin.

i'd make my last concert a secret one, and they only way to find out the date of it and to find your way to the location was to buy TWO copies of my super-experimental CD.

and you'd go about finding it out like this:

it's similar to the original way to play it, but you need to do it SLIGHTLY different. first you start disc 7 and 3, then 5 seconds later you start disc 3(2) and 5(2), then 34 seconds later you start disc 6 and 6(2), then 4 minutes later you start disc 1 and 2(2), then 5 seconds later you start disc 5 and 4(2), then 6 seconds later you start disc 2 and 8 and 4 and 8(2) and 7(2) and 1(2) at the same time.

and you hold down the reverse buttons on the CD players playing 1, 1(2), 2, 5, 5(2), 6, and 7 at the same time. the others need to play forward normally, with the exception of disc 3, which you hit the reverse button 5 minutes into the 4th track.

then all the lyrics would sync together and blend to form a series of sentences of me telling you exactly how to get there, and when it is.

I'd kick Shannon Hoon in the nuts.

[QUOTE=PaintJessGreen]Die, then release my album.[/QUOTE]

then make millions off the posthumous releases. You'll be like Tupac.

but what if the cds skip?

I would only play live shows with my band and never release any recorded material. All people who have tickets to our shows agree to a cavity search for recording devices when entering (read the fine print on the ticket!). Of course, some music will inevitably leak out, but it will be so muffled and fragmented from the clandestine recording process that it will only feed people's appetites to see us live.

The upside to this is that we get lots of money from ticket and merch sales, but there's no record companies to take a huge chunk out of our album profits! Then we'll sell live DVDs that self-destruct after one listen, like on "Mission: Impossible." You may only hear us once or twice in your lifetime if you're not following us through every city on tour.

We will be the most sought-after band in history, because even if our music is nothing out of the ordinary, the hype and atmosphere surrounding us will be too great. Many audience members will faint after hearing the first notes of the opening number, and during the guitar solo some people will die of shock. They will be envied (but not noticed by anyone until after the second encore).

Our band WILL be your life.

then you're a non-indie loser who needs to either buy a better CD player or give up on trying to find out about my secret show.

oic

i'd just never release any recordings and never play live, and then just i'd tell all my indie friends how cool my music is but i wouldn't let them hear it because i didn't want too big of a fanbase.

i'll just find the brown note.

and then loop it with a delay pedal.

I'd find a note that kills people when they hear it. Record it on a CD (with earplugs, of course) and release it to the general public.

TRL would play it one day and half the world would immediately collapse and die.

I would then proceed to rob them and be a rich mother dude.

what if like you find that note, but nobody could hear it

and you could like kill them like without them like knowing it

that would be like rad

Has anyone finished reading my post yet? Cause I've clearly got the best idea of them all.

I'll wait :)

i read it but it's kinda okay

it seriously lacks a brown note

[QUOTE=Eliminator Jr.]what if like you find that note, but nobody could hear it

um it wouldn't matter because anybody who listens to it would die and not be able to tell anyone it was my song that killed them.

nah my ideas are more indie.

YDload's is more DIY though.

my ideas are more pitchfork then any of you guys

I didn't see a concept review or Silver Jews interview anywhere in yours.

Wow. This thread has been killed.

[QUOTE=sr800bkBassist]nah my ideas are more indie.[/QUOTE]

No they take too much effort to come to fruition. Effort is not a cornerstone of the indie lifestyle. Any time spent learning to play your instrument or mix your album is time that could have been spent looking bored and dissatisfied.

Except for the thing about not recording anything which is MY idea anyway :mad:

We need to send you to ROCK SCHOOL.

but see, in my idea that incorporates not recording anything, i also don't even PLAY anything :mad:!

and anyway, what about all the E6 bands? they're so indie that they spend more time mixing their albums than they do writing them!

E6? I wouldn't be caught dead listening to that mainstream trash >:-}

You've lost your target market.

Well my band is so indie I'm actually Paul Westerberg.

I'd put out an album that's trite and boring, make a mean profit, then become forgotten in a matter of months because I wasn't considered "indie" anymore.

I'm so anticore.
