Not So New Music

Toothpaste For Dinner
toothpastefordinner.com

In the comments to my post below on discovering new music, one commenter noted that it's fruitful to pay attention to movie soundtracks, which reminded me of a certain group on Facebook:

Just Because You Own the Garden State Soundtrack Doesn't Mean You are Indie Rock

It has become apparent that everyone owns the Garden State Soundtrack. Some people feel they are now ultra-hip because they know a couple of songs by The Shins, Nick Drake, and something by Simon and Garfunkel that isn't Sounds of Silence. But as this group suggests, this does not make you a music guru, and it definitely does not make you indie rock. So lace up your newly purchased converse allstars and walk away. Just walk away.

The hipsters have spoken.
