HAHAHA...
I don't listen to the radio at all, so it surprises me to find out certain bands I've been listening to for a while have become popular. Case in point: Muse.
My friend's friend is very into music and recommends him things to listen to all the time. My friend then passes this information on to me. He came to visit me this summer and we were sitting there listening to Franz Ferdinand when he tells me his friend has recommended this great band from Britain called Muse, and I should really check them out. I give him this funny look, turn to my stacks of CDs and fish out "Absolution." "You mean these guys?" "Yeah. How'd you get that? It just came out." "It's been out since March. I got it on spring break in Seattle." "No way. You've been listening to Muse all this time and you didn't tell me?"
Oh, and Modest Mouse is a prime example of this--they've been immensely popular with the college crowd in Oregon and Washington for a long freakin' time. They played at a big concert I went to in December and I had to cut out early--all of the teeny boppers wearing Modest Mouse t-shirts were driving me insane. Ugggh.
