Can't wait for CNN to launch their indie label. I don't really know where this whole 'indie rock' thing is headed but just saw (500) Days of Summer last nite and couldn't be more excited for everybody!

@Anon12:26 - What's your damage? If you hate BrooklynVegan so much, why are you trolling his site? Geez.
