I think there is something really wrong with music today when guys in their 50s rock harder than any of the new contemporary "indie rock" bands out there today. Granted they are playing songs written 10-15 years ago but they are still out there rocking harder than the likes of Bon Iver, Wilco, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Beach House etc. New music just lacks any punch.
I've been saying that for years on this board.

Classic stuff!!! Winwood with some nasty guitar work...

As most know, I like a lot of the indie music (even the whiny, punchless kind)
My wife and kids have happily been listening to Fun. a lot in the car lately. I too have grown to like their sound but it sounds so familiar and I finally figured it out
agreed - there seems to be a need for an early adopter category in music
Bands that are played in "indie" or "alternative" stations/circles then become top 40.
I would still rather have middle school kids hear Fun. Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Death Cab for Cutie on "their" radio stations than Carly Rae Jepsen.
"Call me Maybe" is soooo damn catchy.. I love it! (Surprise)

Just wanted to say that Ritchie Blackmore is phenomenal. What a great tone he has and he just looks so damn cool playing those amazing riffs.

(The opening riff from 'Groove Is in the Heart' sounds like it came from this)
If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
