I'm still watching American Idol because I've invested myself in on of the contestants and I think he's so very totally awesome. I get rather annoyed with the process of the show and the audience that votes for lesser contestants, but I still watch.

Sometimes I feel like I should explain my interests or the music, movies, things in general that I enjoy. Why is that necessary? I like it and that's enough reason. I think I've been surrounded with far too many elitist indie kids with swoopy (yes, I made up a word) hair and too-tight-t-shirts. I can barely conceal my eye-rolls when I walk into a place like Natural Sound or Charlie's Record Store (indie music stores) and see the three guys in their band t-shirts, bangs over their eyes, and sunglasses on. They use more hairspray in one go than I've ever used in my life and I think I should explain my musical tastes to *these* guys who have never had a unique thought ever? Oh, I must be kidding myself. I can hang with the best of them. I've got the Belle and Sebastian (because you have to listen to them if you're any sort of serious indie kid) and I've got the Death From Above 1979 (because I can hang with the metal crowd too) and I've got the TV on the Radio (because it was the flavor of the week about a year ago) and I've got the D'Angelo (because any true neo-soul fan wouldn't be caught without it) and I've got The Doors (because you have to appreciate the classic shit laced with Jim Morrison's drugged-out poetry) and I've got A Gun Called Tension (because I'm so cool that I need the side project to a member of Modest Mouse) and I've got Diamanda Galas (because everyone needs an evil female vocal speaking of blood and death in their avant collection). Whatever. Like I said, I can hang and I can slay the majority of those hangers-on at the record store with my musical knowledge, yet I loose cool points for liking something like Justin Timberlake or an American Idol contestant. For about ten seconds I was concerned, but now I'm not. Bite me, indie boys/girls.

Don't you hate feeling the need to explain! I do it and then want to kick myself.

Some of those questions....I wanted to explain those....lol.

Don't feel like you need to explain your likes and dislikes. Like you mentioned, just you liking it is enough reason.

The mental image of swoopy hair is kind of funny though :)

I find the notion that we'll never really be unique or original quite freeing in this department. Just like what you like.

If I lived closer I would occasinally invite you to coffee. Then maybe the indie rock kids could be like "look at those nondescript thinker types, they're so arrogant."
