<p>You guys should listen to legitimate avant-garde music. Harrison Birtwistle. GO.</p>
<p>Anyone like Richard Cheese? hahahahaha.</p>
<p>No, but Lounge Against the Machine is an awesome name.</p>
<p>Just imagine Nine Inch Nail’s “Closer” (and the like) being sung in a lounge, Frank Sinatra style. It’s brilliant.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, not many HKers (from what I know) are really into indie music. HK has this store called White Noise Records that sells a lot of less mainstream music, though, i think. In Causeway. I have some friends that get music there. I’m more of a torrents kind of person, though. :p</p>
<p>^ Torrents all the way. I think I’ve heard of White Noise Records, but I’ve never actually been. Thanks for letting me know though :D</p>
<p>I don’t get this obsession with obscure bands. Just because popularity does not imply greatness does not mean that obscurity does.
<em>Runs away to avoid being lynched by indie fans</em></p>
<p>Damien Rice and NHM aren’t obscure are they?
I don’t think I listen to any obscure music, but let me check.</p>
<p>Great Caesar (It’s a band at Yale)
Within Temptation (Really famous actually, just foreign)
Jos</p>

<p>I’m assuming you’ve heard the Bloody Beetroots song Warp 1.9 w/ Steve Aoki. Effing AWESOME on loud speakers with booming bass. (or even headphones)</p>
<p>I am a DJ at my college and the Bloody Beetroots are on the Heavy Rotation playlist. It’s weird.</p>
<p>Did you know that Jason Schwartzman used to be the drummer for Phantom Planet? Fun fact. Anyway, I haven’t heard “Big Brat” in such a long time. I loved that song and music video. But that was like 6 years ago?</p>
<p>beach house
joanna newsom
deerhunter</p>
<p>Neutral Milk Hotel isn’t obscure…they have the #1 indie album of all time (In the Aeroplane, Over the Sea), according to many sources.</p>
<p>Yeah, I love Warp 1.9 but Warp 1977 is great too. I LOVE THE BLOODY BEETROOTS!</p>
