i was only havin' fun. if i was into the indie snob junk, i'm sure i'd listen to much more obscure music, but the fact is i don't like most of the more obscure indie bands i've heard, which makes me glad they're obscure.
i just found pavement, personally, to be a better fit for the statement you made. sure, they have their unique style that is rarely or ever replicated, but in their approach to music, i would say it's very "indie". i wouldn't say the same about death cab for cutie, at least not based on their latest cd, which is what the majority of people will think of or download when they hear the name. i don't find the approach "indie" and it rarely "rocks", so i wouldn't call it a good ear-trainer for "indie rock". i just see it as listenable, melodic pop.
and i was just listening to brighten the corners earlier today. groovy, no?
