He asked me to put together a quick list of 10 current, suitably 'alternative' songs that she could use to throw back at this music snob.
It was an interesting excercise. What are some songs you guys would suggest?
Hell knows but here's a couple of possibilites
Angel Olsen - Shut Up Kiss Me
Car Seat Headrest - Destroyed By Hippie Powers
Camp Cope - West Side Story

I ended up going with 'Girl Rock' as a bit of a theme. Camp Cope, Priests and Cherry Glazerr all got a song. 'Aussie Indie' was also represented with Methyl Ethel, Spookyland and Scott & Charlene's Wedding.
Probably should have thrown a 'Hooley Dooleys' song on there too. They were far more 'Indie' than the Wiggles after all...

Oh, but I have. Historically Chewm's tastes and mine have followed similar paths so I was keen to listen to his mix last year. Good stuff.

I'm seeing more and more independent artists upload their albums or EPs as a single Youtube video and having that be the extent of their digital distribution. Really not into that.

But did you hear the part where he yells repeatedly about how he loves selling blow?
