now that i have left most of my belongs elsewhere i realise that if people saw my stuff they wouldn't be able to judge me very easily. where is the fun in that? didn't i used to be an indie snob? so i got to thinking about the indie-est things i have ever owned. they are, probably...
a signed david devant and his spirit wife single (ginger), shellac's at action park on original cassette tape, thurston moore's root boxset thingy, a memory of a racist joke told to me by the killers drummer (pre tache), some laika matches and two joy division tapes (still and unknown pleasures) in ltd edition purple display cases....
nothing counts if you got things from the internet....thats not that indie now is it?

my ticket stub for Howling Bells signed by Juanita, and a photo of me and my PAL cuddling upto her beauty.
I have a drumstick I stole from Secret Machines.
