Yeah you're absolutely right Shrie, indie rock fans never care about the context in which music is being made or marketed, and never should care about those things. Just keep your head in the sand and enjoy the music, right?
Oh, and here's a little tidbit from Stereogum, posted this morning. (Those of you who only care about the music, please feel free to disregard.)
According to the AP wire, "the Smashing Pumpkins are suing Virgin Records, saying the record label has illegally used their name and music in promotional deals [with Pepsi and Amazon.com] that hurt the band's credibility with fans." No, Billy, your shitty new songs hurt your credibility with fans. And your whining. And schilling smashed guitars.
