How "indie" became a pejorative

Interchange between me and Tal on the Jukebox; runs similar to my attempts to restate my "PBS" idea to Marc the other day. I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on how to clarify and/or improve the idea. (Cliffs Notes version of the idea here.)

By the way, Will is doing a terrific job in framing and collating our responses in the best-off. Man's a writer.

Like a brick over troubled water

Brief discussion of a Nelly Furtado lyric, including this from [livejournal.com profile] skyecaptain:

Anyway, Frank was right to bring up Nelly Furtado -- her lyrics are often a deal-breaker for me, and I will never forgive her for putting "with my mouth I could sing you another brick that I laid" into the most gorgeous song ever. Though I like [livejournal.com profile] piratemoggy's hearing of it as "with my mouth I could sing you another bridge that I laid."

Woops, "FROM my mouth I could sing you," which is admittedly much less egregious.
