Re: [MMouse]: 'indie in unexpected places'
$.02: Hm... I wasn't under the impression that anyone was doggin' hearing good music in unexpected places. It's just very unexpected, hence the comments. I for one, think Sonic Youth sucks so I've never heard of 'dirty' and I thought it was great when Cut Your Hair was on the radio.

Re: [MMouse]: 'indie in unexpected places'
The fact that indie music gets heard in public places isn't all that bad, is it? I mean, I was kind of shocked when I heard stereolab in the volvo commercial, but it's about time they got paid for something. and their music has the kind of post-modern/neo-classical vibe that I get whenever i see a volvo i wouldn't mind owning a volvo, and i don't mind stereolab, so i think they make a good team. that maybe was the same reason that stereolab's music was played in a volvo commercial :P not cos of the money or any of that, but maybe, just maybe they weren't thinking about 'low profile' status but rather 'hey this might sound cool on a volvo commercial.' Just because an indie band is played somewhere commercial, it doesn't mean the music's changed or will change, does it? I mean, how many people on this list would know about indie music if it weren't for pavement's 'cut yr hair' or sonic youth's 'dirty' or nirvana, or 120 minutes? A lot of us have college radio to rely on, and/or the internet, but we can't live in an indie vacuum can we? plus..i've discovered that people who listen to big bands really don't give a flying crap about indie bands if they're played on a commercial or on tv or what have you. the media wasn't how i discovered the music i listen to and i think it's the same for alot of people. i think indie bands who've stayed conveniently located at their indie labels without concernering themselves with 'breaking through' on 120 minutes know what they're doing, so i doubt being shown or played in corporate media is really gonna effect their music. - amy

[MMouse]: Oliva Tremor Control
Oliva Tremor Control is playing the Middle East on the 29th for anybody who's wondering. Does anyone know who's opening for them? From this list it seems like Modest Mouse has a decent following in Boston, have they ever played a show out here?
