Indie band 

The term Indie nowadays describes a current trend since around 2003 to consider "indie" a certain musical style rather than a stance towards commercialism.
This style is in most cases a mixture of wave, early punkrock, singer/songwriter music, electronica and above all whiney singing.

Ironically most bands among those "indie" bands are not part of an independent music scene, but as part of the musical mainstream rather dependent.

Indie Bands With a Mission 

Indie Bands With a Mission, also known as IBWAM, is a volunteer group/informal, non-profit organization. Our goal is to write cookbooks that feature a few local/unknown bands and the band members' favorite recipes.

The profits from each cookbook will go towards whatever charity the bands featured in the cookbook want to help. A few food banks in the Washington, DC area will benefit from the profits as well.

The first cookbook is Wonder Treats That Bands Fantasize About.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
