<p>The title track of Transatlanticism is especially moving.. Although most people wouldn't want to sit through an 8 minute song.</p>

i know, but indie as a sound means nothing. i understand what indie means, but of montreal and sufjan stevens are both indie. aside from having many layers in most of their songs, i cant think of very much they have in common, sound wise

<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 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
!!! youre at johns hopkins!?!? youre so close to wham city!</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>
