This one's going out to Williamsburg...

At last, an opportunity to post about a subject that is poll related and to provide a direly needed boost to my indie street cred. So ya'll should feel free to unplug yourselves from your Bright Eyes or Modest Mouse or Tim Mcgraw or whatever and pay attention for however many moments your far-too-short hipster attention span can spare.

A recent BBC news poll found that the group The Bravery is 2005's most promising act. What, you say? You've never heard of them? Dude. I'm just gonna give up. You think I can't see through that trucker hat and track jacket? Well I can. I know that iPod mini is filled with Bling 182 and Mariah Carey. You can't fool me.

And, hey, I totally understand. Glitter, anyone?
