boosting my indie ego

A lot of the artists I wrote about are doing extremely well lately. The brilliant Florence and the Machine for example is all over the radio, apparantly. Of course, you first read about her here, on this blog. On January 26, 2008. That's a lot of indie credibility I get there. Seems like forever ago (see what I did there? an indie-related pun! extra indie points!).

Little Boots is another one. I blogged about her on March 9, 2008. Of course, with Little Boots being the new pop star, I have to dis on her and tell everyone she's not as good as she used to be, just to keep my indie cred high and dry. I won't do that. On first listen, debut 'Hands' was a slight disappointment, but it's been growing on me steadily. Sometimes I like my pop polished. And it's perfect for summer, just like all those other L's that have been popping up during the last year: Ladyhawke, La Roux, Lady GaGa, ...

So, I just threw away all my indie credibility. Like I care. Pop is the new indie.

Here's a song from Little Boots' 'Hands', the untitled hidden track (hidden tracks are one of my pet peeves, but sometimes you have to sit through the silence because the reward is worth the wait):

P.S. please don't take this post too serious.
