Indie Cred

I feel as though I've lost a lot of my connections with the music world. I still look to find a new and interesting band once in a while but not nearly as often as I used to. Looking over pitchforks top albums of 2009 I feel disconnected from a world I used to be heavily involved in. I don't know when it was that I lost all my indie cred but suddenly it's long gone.

Speaking of old indie cred lets talk about LCD Soundsystem, in particular "Losing My Edge." In this song our singer tells the story of suddenly everyone around him is a music expert. The internet is to blame for this sudden rise in knowledge and becoming a critic has never been easier. Every kid in a basement with dialup knows about Animal Collective and Dan Deacon.

Lady Gaga made pitchfork's top 100 songs list with "Paparazzi." Maybe I'm not really that disconnected.
