Now You Can Indie Rock Out Like It’s 1999

Remember the simpler days of indie rock, before American Apparel was everywhere, there were no bands with the word “Panda” or “Wolf” in their name, and you could just be a wuss that loved to hear someone rock out on a piano about their breakups? Yes, the days of Ben Folds Five, the pre-2000’s era that brought us the mainstream sniffler “Brick” and other gems like “Song for the Dumped” (regular and Japanese verision). I recently heard that BFF was reuniting to perform their last album as a band, The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner, in it’s entirety in Chapel Hill, NC, the band’s home (and my alma mater….go, go you sweet Tar Heels). I was really bummed that I couldn’t go, what with the jet-setting lifestyle I had, I was in Tokyo with Barack Obama and Diddy, so I had to miss it. But yesterday MySpace announced they are streaming THE ENTIRE SHOW WITH INTERVIEWS FROM THE BAND from their site. The show is really good and the interviews are interesting. Head over there and see what you missed. And check up on all those “friend requests” from “Nadya” and “Kyla” who just want to be your friend and have you come check out their secret sexy pictures at “this link”.
