i don't see why its that unfortunate, white people would be just as good at playing indie as black people...unless you think indie should be equal opportunities?

No the NME did a piece months back on Bloc Party, it was introductory for people who didn't know who they were. The week where Carl or Pete Libertine were on the cover

"In his head Kele's the bog standard Indie Urchin, no different from the singer in say, The Cribs. But in reality, as possibly the first ever black-fella-singing in an indie band, he's a shining (if reluctant) icon of cultural nonconformity to stand alongside Rosa Luxembourg, Martin Luther King and her from Skunk Anansie. Er possibly."

Rock was originally black music, Indie is a derivative of rock music. Not all people from any race are the same and it's only natural that black kids who like rock/indie start picking up guitars and coming home to the music that made people like Little Richard great.

Earlier fugee quote:
"Singer Kele Okereke should, by rights, be making billions in a reformed Fugees"
Weeks later a customs officer made the remark that Kele should sing some Fugees

Well all black people look the same right? Wyclef has locks and so does Kele. Ignorant people around the world shout snap!

The NME went down the same road with The Dears singer.

Seriously I don't care who makes or enjoys the music as long as its good, someone should tell the indie snobs who looked at me like i was an alien at the Razorlight gig to do the same.

"I like the NME, the mag i'd most like to work for..."


HA HA HA HA HA HA

Priceless

Sleaze Rock Bitch I have no idea why 'Blacks' like moi as you put it give you grief maybe its your attitude. I get dirty looks from indie snobs but i would never say its because they're white and that makes them do it. it's because i'm not the norm in the cliquey scene they have going largely perpetuated its artists and yes by NME.
