<p>The title track of Transatlanticism is especially moving… Although most people wouldn’t want to sit through an 8 minute song.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I dunno, indie music to me suggests a more mellow sound, less hyped up effects, etc, but obviously there are bands that don’t fit that description.</p>
<p>ska, do you like ska? or is your name a reference to something else? also, [YouTube</a> - Dan Deacon - CRYSTAL CAT](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFlBJ1xZK10]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFlBJ1xZK10) the new face of indie. haha, im not trying to be a jerk and push my point too hard, i just love this song/video/dan deacon and thought it would be fun to share

<p>haha, first order of business: judging people.</p>
<p>^separate the wheat from the chaff ;)</p>
<p>are you asking me about the ska, or skatj?</p>
<p>If you were asking me - Nope, I like rock, alternative, indie, some electronic stuff, punk-pop, post-rock, classical, and some other stuff.</p>
<p>haha, okay. just wondering. ska is the music of my youth, my mom used to play tapes of the specials and the english beat when i was like 7 and i was alllll up in the local scene in like 7th and 8th grade. it has a special place in my heart.</p>
<p>
no love for rap, blues, jazz?</p>
