Mercury isn't as good I admit, and Silent Alarm was by far the better album, wow what can I say about that. In my opinion Indie as I used to know it died the day The Libertines split, their self titled album and Up The Bracket were both just simply stunning. Since then we have had a plethora of bands using 'The' in their name, and not one has really got me thinking, yes, this is the new way to go. It's a shame, because commercial pop is pretty terrible nowadays, but I just have the feeling that most indie bands are heading in the same way i.e. Scouting for Girls, even people like The Enemy. I pray for the day someone like The Libs come back, Babyshambles weren't up to it, and Dirty Pretty Things, although good in their own right, just didn't have the same sort of emotion in their songs. Come back Indie, I miss you!    Report

Why did this happen?! i like the 2nd album I loop "i still remember" over and over in the car sometimes.. 1st album was the best though.... Trust me when i say The Holloways are the band to save British Music.... Seen them live twice and they are brilliant! jas :)    Report

Don't blame you Arthur.  I too hate scouting for girls, so much so that I won't even allow them to have capital letters.  Not really a radio man at all personally, much prefer stealing my music of other people's computers. Oh the joys of a portable external hard drive; I ramped up my itunes collection from about 2000 songs to 5000 in the space of a month or so just by inviting myself round to people's houses and raping their hard drives of their recommendations... best way, I say!

Posts 4,319 Re: Indie Will Eat Itself I thought Indie died when Oasis played Knebworth.  Hot Chip do rock.  Well, actually, they do disco, but they rock at disco.  There has always been mainstream music for the masses, and the more interesting stuff that you have to look a bit harder for.  My favourites at the moment are Carina Round, Vampire Weekend, and Hot Chip - and I only heard of 2 of those because of radio 1.  I think that most radio 1 DJ's dislike the playlist system, but accept it as a neccesary evil in exchange for doing the job they like, and work pretty hard to put fringe stuff into their programming.

I'll leave Fearne Cotton out of this though, because although she's slightly annoying I seriously would...
