Remember, kids, if you're missing anything from this checklist, you're not really indie!!! And then you won't be cool anymore!!! This is what it really takes to be indie!!! If you can't keep up, then you're not cool enough!!! Put down your acoustic guitar and stop listening to that Pavement CD, and go get YOUR UNIFORM!!!
