Indie != Indy

Okay, just a little gripe about something I see far too often on the World Wide Inter-Tubes.  If you are shortening “independant”, it’s indie. If you are shortening “Indianapolis” it’s Indy. The two are not interchangeable. Unless you are talking about Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s. Then maybe they are Indie Indy music. Or Indy Indie.  Whatever.
Now back to regular silent programming, as work has me swamped.

    I once suggested to Jesse Lee the band name: the ND Kids. Is it Indie for independant? Is it Indy for Indianapolis? The key was to never say anything about the name, and take joy in the many arguements you would’ve started.

    Maybe it really means they’re from South Bend or went to Notre Dame. :-)
