Indie 11: Kurt Wagner (lambchop (OK, so not really "indie") Ben Folds Mr E Jonathan Donahue Stuart Braithwaite (Ben Folds Five) (Eels) (Mercury Rev) (Mogwai) Jack White Nina Persson Emiliana Torrini Richard Ashcroft (White Stripes) (Cardigans, A Camp) (solo) (Verve) Jarvis Cocker Aphex Twin (Pulp) (Again, not really indie) I think my team would be pretty rubbish, y'know. I played in a 5-a-side competition at school a few weeks ago and we lost 10-1. Admittedly, we made the main qualification for membership that you didn't know the Offside Rule and were well known to be absolute bollocks at anything involving sport. we wanted to call our team "3 geeks, 1 Fat Boy and an Indian" but we weren't allowed even though everyone in the team thought it was Ok. it was unfair, considering someone else got "4 Jews and a Wannabe". I (also) think indie should be spelt with little letters. It's not like a god we worship (Or is it?) Can someone tell me what 'vintage' clothing is? I realised I had no idea the other day and all through the indiekid debate (NO, don't even THINK about starting that again) I read your posts without any idea what you were talking about when you mentioned it. I _need_ this knowledge or I will utterly lose touch with popular culture. I founded a religion the other day. It hasn't got a name yet but I'm presently writing the holy book during Chemistry lessons. The main thing in it is my new hat, it's cordurory and one of those bucket hats. It's the sacred object, I'm the high priest who is given visions and wisdom by the hat and my congregation is presntly one. It will grow, I assure you! I did all this after my attempt to become Pope failed when I realised that I would have to become a priest and more importantly, a Roman Catholic. Maybe I could be the first non-Catholic Pope. Or just decide to be the Pope, irrelevant of all that voting Cardinals rubbish. After all, We have to get the church out of this all-male, all-catholic rut, don't we? Our (my family's) G.P.(s) are a pair of identical twins so you never know which one you're seeing. Just to make it more surreal, they are called Dr. A Meeson and Dr. B Meeson. It's like something from a sitcom. Whadda we want? LONDON PICNIC! Whenda we wannit? SOON!
