@originaldaveyj I probably had to flip through a couple P2P services to find it. I cant remember the name but in the mid/early aughts there was also this service where you could download other people in your dorm's music. That was a game changer in college

@hbolton The Lumineers music just *sounded* like indie/"hipster" music though. They were made popular by radio play and the CW. If you were calling them "Hipster shit" in the moment, you were likely a Gen-Xer who stopped listening to new music a decade prior (and not hip/a hipster.)

@dances Still remember this dude yelling "Holy Fuck!" over and over while we were waiting in line at McCarren Park Pool in '08. Holy Fuck was opening for MIA. We went to Enid's and Matchless afterwards. It was a better time then...

@dead_berserker Mehh, i think its more broad strokes. Lots of time and money spent on finding ascending trends to make money off the back of. All bands are industry plants to a degree. They may have started indie until a label figured out they could make money off them. Same for fashion trends.

@andrewdsacher Respectfully, if you weren't going to the JellyNYC back in the day, you don't know what you're talking about.

@clernck Would've loved to have been a fly on the wall when this guy was pitching Black Moth Super Rainbow to the execs.

@birdfrenn @clernck Don't forget Tobacco's solo stuff too! It was post BMSR but some good stuff in there. Stretch your face was pretty prominent in the show Silicon Valley.

@hamptonism Yes, but only if the line isnt a physical queue and you can get a drink at the bar while you wait

@ScudlyDoRight @clernck "Thanks to our friends in the marketing research dept, we just need a ton of acid, ambient synths, and a mysterious guy in a weird mask on avocoder. This is obviously how PBR wins!"

@NancyMace No

@2010brianwilson @StevieKnicks21 What was your point?

@theistinthought These work perfectly well for all the old ladies in the neighborhood. Bulk items can also be delivered via amazon prime, walmart+, etc. Also, in a walkable city you dont need to buy 8 bags of groceries at a time unless youre throwing a party.

@michaelmiraflor I can see how a tourist would think that, but line culture is mostly for recent transplants and visitors. Its heavily concentrated in Manhattan as well. Get like two stops out into the boroughs and the lines mostly disappear.

@IJoukov @gaiaslastlaugh These are like $30 on amazon. If you absolutely must, you can load up on the the non-persibles and freezer stuff one every/every other week. Then just grab fresh veggies/meat/dairy/etc. as needed when you're out. You should go for daily walks regardless.

@makebelieveleaf @offbeatorbit I was gonna mention Jens Lekman and Jose Gonzalez too, just ran out of characters haha
