A pal sent me the line up from Leeds Festival 2005, which I was at. I saw so many landfill indie bands instead of watching acts like LCD Soundsystem, The National or Sleater-Kinney. For shame!

I’d agree with this, not read the article but most these bands would have 1 or 2 good, fun indie-pop songs (probably what got them signed). The real dregs would be the other 8 or so tracks on their albums

Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong were a bit like an indie version of the 2012 Mayan Calendar conspiracy, in that they made a lot of noise in the press, promising something terrible that was thankfully never delivered.

Exactly my thought. Can only assume it’s said a bit tongue-in-cheek, as in “compared to the exceptionally low bar set by the bands on this list the above are innovative”, but given the examples listed they completely fucked it

Edit: also think they’ve fundamentally misunderstood what the word innovative means

So weird.
Imagine thinking Ting Tings were innovative let alone TOO innovative.
Fucking hell.

Yep especially when they go on to label a number of said acts ‘garage rock’ and ‘throwbacks’.
Theyve shat this right up.

In a hundred years time we’ll speak in hushed tones about how the ting tings innovated calling people by their correct name

They couldn’t even do that right surely.
She doesn’t actually correct them on what her name is.
It’s basically the Father Todd Unctious name guess game in annoying musical form.
