white bearded guys with flannel shirts. I love indie music, but these guys are painful.

I love Iron & Wine..his voice is just s o mellow and I can totally see him singing me a lullaby to sleep but that scruffy,long beard next to me won't be cool.
Yeah I love indie music and I always try to show it to my friends but they just think its weird and the next thing you know that song has become one of the most overplayed songs on the radio. Indie music just explores different instruments and is so wide ranging. The artists want to make it big but I bet they'd like to keep their personal touch in their music..
