I love indie films (and indie anything, really — for the Fourth of July, iTunes gave away 20 free indie songs and by God, it felt like Christmas!), but I am a little bit self-conscious of the fact that everyone loves indie films. Remember when Garden State first came out and it was like THE movie to be obsessed with? I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t listen to that soundtrack on repeat for most of the beginning of college. I’m thinking back about it, and pretty much every song gives me some sort of overwhelming feeling of nostaliga. “New Slang”? Laying out on a boat off the coast of Italy and just cold lovin’ my life. “I Just Don’t Think I’ll Ever Get Over You”? Emo nights falling asleep with my iPod (in, yep, a bunk bed) sophomore year of college. “Let Go”? Away messages before drunken college nights. I’d often make my AIM away message “drink up baby doll,” and I’m embarrassed because now I know that the lyrics are actually “drink up baby down.” What does that even mean, anyway?!
The point is, I like indie films and the music in indie films and the people in indie films. (John Krasinski, Zach Braff…I’m looking at you.) But I also love this video. It’s spot on:
Thanks to Miss Susannah for the tip!

six words to change the world. 
great clip — thanks for the laugh
muahahaha… loves it.
Just to add on…. i was watching this on repeat this morning at work (thats what they pay me to do, right?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVbIBWGiZSo
Its the theme from the quasifake-trying-to-be-the-next-GardenState-indie-film, Away We Go, set to clip from a a pretty-legit-experimental-artsy Russian flick. So hipster intellectually elite of me, I know.
Anyways mouse, you should look into the whole AWG soundtrack. You’d dig. Think Bob Dylan lullabies sung by Maya Rudolph… yum.
That just really made me laugh. I totally remember your sophomore year emo moments haha Love it.
