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

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.

[QUOTE=sexymuffin]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.[/QUOTE]

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.

i would turn funk.

This shows where all the samples come in at different points in the songs!

Also I know this is pretty old but I'm reposting it anyway:

Aw, awesomeeee. Whatever happened to the thread where we tried to do that? I'm pretty sure there were more samples there wikipedia didnt get.

Burt's album is so good.

I liked the one about Marvin Gaye.

Sorry for going off topic here people but has anyone heard that new Kasabian single 'Empire'? it's the worst comeback single I've heard in years

*remembers 'Lyla' by Oasis last Summer*

I stand corrected

That INXS song was pretty terrible.

Haven't they got a new singer or something that they found through a reality TV show?
