NME.com is running another world wide poll to find the ‘Greatest Indie Anthem of The Millennium.’ Alice Practice by Crystal Castles is one of many choices listed that does not seem strong enough to sit alongside, say, The Strokes’ Last Night. Many songs nominated for this award literally could not be less indie. Their list is so ridiculous I found myself asking around all morning to check if I was crazy. Since when are The Bravery, Coldplay, and Oasis indie contenders? I guess when you work at a big shiny music magazine anything that isn’t Take That seems like college rock.
