Last week-end on musical channel VH2 took place the "100 best indie songs ever" countdown.
Please note "How soon is now ?" ended n.20, "Suedehead" reached top 10 and "There is a light...", obviously, finished on the pole position.
Among the bands quoted were Blur, Pixies, Nirvana, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, The Strokes etc....

I forgot about that, as well as him inventing the light bulb and the video recorder.
Maybe that's what he was doing from 97 to 04, sitting in his little workshop, late into the night, soldering and welding.
I hear he's got a patent for a thing called the i-pod. It'll never catch on.

It seems that VH2 are rather partial to the man.
Their chart season is well worth killing some time over, incidentally. No doubt Moz will feature further in another countdown.

And on the Indie 500 Countdown, Morrissey via The Smiths were non-stop. This is very good though, better than Chaz and Dave, ( I can't belive that they have been classed as ' Indie ' just because they got coverage in NME and played Glastonbury).

And so it should be.
Melodrama, Englishness, euphoria and good old fashioned despair, all rolled into one song; you could build a novel around it.

Smiths everywhere (and just not the phone book) (Score:0)
Then I went to the gym and someone was wearing a Smiths "Queen Is Dead" t-shirt
And then someone in the pub last night was wearing Smiths "Hatful of Hollow" one
WTF? I never knew any Smiths fans when I was a lad.
I smell a reunion

But then again don't all Indie-kids get angry whenever they see somebody trespassing on their clothing and music taste, I do, I'm not going to lie, because at them end of the day, they spend their lives turting people that are differentand then there they are!, supporting a Smiths t-shirt, or a Stone Roses, or an Inspiral Carpets t-shirt.
I go on for days but I'm boring you all now. And they are welcome to Greenday, Coldplay, The Killers and Kaiser Cheifs.
