<p>I’m loving all the indie fans on this thread</p>
<p>@franzferdinand: actually, where I am, Beach House is pretty popular. They played a show here earlier in the year, and tickets sold out months in advance. And last year, I walked into a Barnes & Noble and the entire Teen Dream album was playing (which I was super happy about). </p>

<p>@toxic: did you see animal collective play at Prospect Park earlier this month? By the time I found out about the show the tickets had sold out :(</p>
<p>No, I hate when that happens too. A band plays at Central Park or Prospect Park the tickets always sells out. I need to find a way to get my tickets before everyone knows about it.</p>
<p>@RoxSox: I am with you on Deadmau5. Good stuff! </p>
<p>@wiscongene: don’t worry, I’d be excited, too. ;)</p>
<p>@apathetic11: your list is golden! Especially The Shins, Vampire Weekend, and the Avett Brothers. New Slang = one of my all time favorite songs. :)</p>
