    Who were some of your favorite indie bands from the 80s/90s? I'm just starting to get into Fugazi

    galaxie 500 or luna are really great from around that time. dean wareham is the lead singer on both so the sound is pretty similar, but I enjoy the luna catalog slightly more. he also had a really good solo album a year or two back

    pavement is also one of my favorite bands ever

    Sonic Youth, Pavement, Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr., Built to Spill

    80s stuff I didnt like until later, don't know where the definition blurs on indie, regardless, stuff I enjoy.

    Gang of Four
    Husker Du
    Joy Division
    Depeche Mode
    New Order
    Nick Cave
    Talking Heads

    Lots of other 80s post punk type shit I like. Very subjective though.

    2 random galaxie 500 related facts that I’m not sure why I have in my head:

    1. When they were starting out at Harvard, their drummer didn’t own a kit, so he borrowed one from Conan O’Brien

    2. The song Naomi by Neutral Milk Hotel is about Galaxie 500’s bassist Naomi Yang

    Again, not sure why I remember either of these

    That's some good trivia. I posted this in another thread, but it went unnoticed so here it is again.

    Remember that "Real Hero" song from the movie Drive? Who would have thought it's about

    I saw them all of these artists open and play with Big Red Machine in a pretty small venue. It was super cool.

    well, every track's been really different from one another thus far, so hopefully we don't get another one like this on the album...

    Saw First Aid Kit and Lord Huron last night. Great show but I had a few too many beers so I was hurting most of the day.

    Tonight is The Beths, Alvvays, and Courtney Barnett.
