11. Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I See A Darkness
12. The Shins - Oh, Inverted World

[/ QUOTE ]

These are two that I would have a really really hard time leaving off.


Also... given what I know of your tastes, Im surprised to not see Mr. Smith on there. What gives?

You caught me before I edited it. I got to 12 and stopped and then realized that I left off Smith (and a million other albums).

Are people into indie really called hipsters? I know euro uses that term a lot but is it common?

Evan rips on me over AIM CONSTANTLY, often with the term.

Ive never really heard it in with people Ive met, just 2p2ers.

my girlfriend uses it as a derogatory term and exclusively to describe a style of dress.

The Hipster Handbook will answer all your questions.

the book is actually pretty funny. I condescendinly refer to people as hipsters usually based upon a few things:
1) their stupid dress code to try to look different while all looking the same, especially that hair cut
2) the sad, uninterested/depressed look on their face at all time indicating that they obviously have something better to do and their life really is THAT bad
3) when they want to keep indie music indie- keeping favorite bands secret, etc

Just had an idea: any old stuff?

Im thinking either Loaded or Pink Moon.

[Jack of Arcades]

Not a huge fan of older stuff, especially with such limited space, but Closer by JD rules.

So you guys really think Neutral Milk Hotel are going to get someone into indie rock, huh?
