allright, i think for about seven posts now i've been dis-avowing any sort of "underground sainthood" or "genre-worship". there are a lot of underground bands that suck. in fact, there's a lot! musically, the bands on the radio are pretty tight. you might not hear a lot of crazy stuff going on, but its solid at least. indie bands are held to the standards of the label they're on, with no radio expectations, so you're gonna come across a lot of indie bands who are not musically solid, who have a bad drummer, or a bad bass player, or a singer who cannot hit the right notes.

now i'll get started on the subject of getting rich......
