I used to worry about falling for industry plants or otherwise hyped artists. When I heard such things said about Wet Leg, I bristled, questioning my taste. But I liked their stuff so much, I figured I should just trust my ear. I've discovered so many songs on FMU from the 70s and 80s that were likely lumped in with a sound or scene, thought of as dispensable, just chasing a trend. So thanks to the Wet Leg talk, I feel more comfortable thinking, if the music makes me feel happier than I'd be if there was no music playing, that's good enough for me.

For those of us who patronize record stores at any and every opportunity, Record Store Day is just a pain. Not to mention all the independent artists who can't get their music pressed onto a vinyl record because the plants are choked with albums that no one was every asking to be re-issued.

@YETI BOB Yeah, I get that. And while I'm at a loss of examples right now, there are many power pop bands I've taken deep dives on that, as you said, just have borrowed riffs and attitude, but nothing distinguishing them, so I don't revisit them
