| 8-15-04 How come the news part of the site has nothing to do with music? Billy Flannel, age 7, Rockport, ME First off, Billy, we've had a lot of late-night meetings about this topic. Here are some of the thoughts put forward by our crack team of crackers, except Race Forgins. * Maybe there just isn't any news in the world of music these days. * People don't want to hear about electronic Pennsylvanian band Black Moth Super Rainbow. People want Olympics and dead rabbits. * Pedro Van Dennison, Lawrence Kirk, Dr. Morgan Nurdle, Natasha Marx, and the rest of our phalanx of reporters embedded in the field don't like music anymore. So I hope those explanations help, Billy. One of them or more could be true. - The IRS |
| 8-19-04 Dear The Indie Rock Site, Hey, you guys, I've been wanting to take my girlfriend to a rockin' indie concert, just as a super surprise. Which bands do you guys think I should try to go see? Antonio Bundow, 42, Chicago, IL First off, Tony Boy, you really shouldn't assume that this site is run by all guys. In fact, a majority of what you read, click on, or scroll with has been developed by a member of the female company of engineers. So, perhaps if you stopped stereotyping this as a "man's world" then you probably wouldn't be 42 years old and worrying about girlfriends. In fact, you'd be married and with a working wife's income will have paid off your house and be sitting in retirement with several grandchildren at your knee. Alas, it is not so. Secondly, go see The Dead Milkmen. That's sure to get your girlfriend's emotional train rolling full steam ahead. Good Luck...hah. - Cheryl Crow |
| 8-19-04 do the esteemed journalists of this site view "emo" music as a subsidiary of the indie rock scene, or as a completely different idiom? your biggest fan, Kitty, Ont. Canada First off, Kitty, we couldn't help but notice you might be a cat. Secondly, we noticed that you didn't really capitalize your letter correctly. This supports our "you're a cat" theory. We don't answer letters from cats. Please, humans and gibbons only in the future. |
| 8-31-04 Dear Indie People, We've been coming to the site off and on, and we were wondering if you REALLY think that anybody reads this stuff, or even bothers getting past the homepage!? We just don't want you to fall into the vicious cycle of putting up cool new stuff when nobody will ever read it...except us. Thanks a lot for the fun stuff! William and Jenny Hurtz First off, Willy and Jenniam, we here at The Indie Rock Site just enjoy the simple fact that everytime we check our mail, we are always greeted by, "Hello, Indie!" Such a thing invigorates and motivates us. It's like we are the Indiana Jones of musical web sites. Secondly, the obscene demand for ground breaking new material is so obscene and demanding, that we were wondering if we REALLY had the time to answer this absurd question. Unfortunately, it was the only question we received amid the obscene demands...mostly ransom notes. That may answer your question in one way...another way is this: We think people get past the homepage. In fact, the second best place after the homepage is the four second best links on the site, taking you to many third best pages on the planet. You can't argue with that. Well, I'm being obscenely demanded to do something else. -- The Indie Rock Site Conspirators |
| 10-16-04 Hey Indie People! I wanted to know if you realize how TOTALLY awesome your site is!? It just blows me away at how informative and straight forward the information is. I'm building my own music site, and I was wondering if you had a few pointers for me. Anything would help! Thanks so much! Lisa First off, Lisa, I'm not so sure you realize how TOTALLY awesome our site is. It is more so than just information thrown at your face at an unbelievable rate, unmatched by any site living or dead. It is a site of great depth of feeling. It is emo. Once you tap into the great deep that is our site, you will see. And seeing is half the battle. Secondly...no, we can't give you any pointers on how to build your site. We outsource our site construction to children in Nepal, where labor is cheap, the hours are long, and the children are many. They are like a voice with no mouth. We simply give them lips to speak with. That's deep. You should utilize this in your next birthday card. David P. Crockett |
| 1/10/05 Dear Indiana Rockers, What is meant in the Heart classic "Crazy On You" when singer Ann Wilson says, "...and you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love"? Is this kind of music appropriate for my children? Concerned in Michigan First off, CIM, Heart doesn't even sing "Crazy on You." Marylin Manson does. Marylin Manson is, of course, inappropriate for children in all circumstances. Repeated listening by impressionable youngsters leads to children being retarded and hanging out in malls a lot. Heart, however, is always appropriate, being Women in Rock, although they are not attractive enough to be on the cover of magazines. |
| 4/4/05 Indie! Do you smell that?? Karla Wilkerson, Rome First off, Karla, we all here would like to take the time to tell you that you are Romeing. We cannot accept this call. If we were to accept it, we might just know what you mean...but we might also incure large Papal bills. That is the last thing we need, Karla. Secondly, yes we can. Karla Wilkerson, IRS |
| 10/1/06 Oh Sweet indie rock site people who hold great wisdom and cheetos for all. I have some questions, and i hope you have some answers. Question #1, Why is my spelling and grammer sooo bad? Question #2, My band sucks majorly.The only good thing about it is me (the drummer) and the funky bassist. What can we do!?! Musicless in Manhatten First off, MIM, why have we been away for a year and a half? Listen, there was a lot to do. A lot of things had to be done. Basically, you know, we were hoping... Why is your spelling and grammar bad; what kind of question is that. Come back when you have some real rock 'n' roll questions, MIM. Like your second question. Do a drum 'n' bass duo. Check it out, all you need is drums and bass. Sounds like it's right up your alley. It's unfortunate the bassist is the funky one and not you, because we all know the importance of The Funky Drummer. 1989 the number, another summer, sound of The Funky Drummer. Alternatively, you and your bass player could start an up-to-date Beatles tribute band. |
