about

'Grab the Indies' was my slap to radio in the mid-80s for not playing much of the new American indie rock bands I loved at the time (R.E.M., Replacements, Three O'Clock, etc.). Funny thing though, I recorded all these songs at the radio station where I worked!

lyrics

"Grab the Indies"

Sounds abound from within these shores,
intelligent rockers yearn for more,
mass appeal has no appeal for me,
I open up my eyes for bands with purpose and unity.

Band for money, music for money,
it's been around a long time,
Money's a sin, baby
who are the sinners?
Sorry, good Lord, but they're program directors.

Fuck the radio if they can't bend the rules,
ya know, ads for money for folks who need cheap thrills,
people who seemingly care about music
(they don't care, they don't care),
you know PMs and GMs and GDs and MDs,
something like that...

(unknown)
you know the ones you used to make it alll the time
(unknown) at the radio station
(unknown) check their egos at the door

Grab the indies, music for minds not masses,
applied senses, it's time for our time, not theirs!
Grab the indies, music for minds not masses,
applied senses, it's time for our time, not theirs!

Sounds abound from within these shores,
intelligent rockers yearn for more,
mass appeal has no appeal for me,
I open up my eyes for bands with purpose and unity.
bands with purpose and unity.
bands with purpose and unity.
oh...oh...

Money's a sin, baby, and who's got a lot of (unknown) moonshine (moonshine)
I don't know what to do anymore,
I think I'll just sit back and grin and
watch the money roll in,
sit and grin.

Grab the indies, music for minds not masses,
applied senses, it's time for our time, not theirs!
Grab the indies, music for minds not masses,
applied senses, it's time for our time, not theirs!
