“The Pitfalls of Indie Fame” by Chuck Klosterman
At 3:31 PM, a friend of mine sent me the above essay by Chuck Klosterman – a favorite author of mine. What follows is, word for word, the ensuing conversation. My friend’s words are in red:
its nothing i already dont know, and he is wrong about some things
k
he is right in many ways, but wrong about indie music in general
read more klosterman and then judge, he knows more about indie music then ull probably eve rknow
i know
he is wrong to point that out only of indie music, that happens with anything
it happens to be that the indie music scene is more critical
but popular music is susceptible to the same pitfalls
example: grammy 2010, best album of the year is taylor swift
she has already received twice as many grammys as elvis
that music is absolute tween crap
arcade fire last year baby
my favorites
see, that is an album with lasting integrity
and they emerged from the indie music scene
chuck missed that
