Club Soda With Lime

I've been listening to mainstreamo again lately due to my super-sweet Xmas gift of an iPod. I forgot how good some of these bands are, as if I were shunning them to coincide with society's overblowing of their popularity. I do however, pride myself on the notion that most of the albums I care for the most are ones that never caught on, The Bled, Boys Night Out (first album) the first MCR, etc., but why am I arguing with myself? Who am I impressing? These albums are good, and maybe its better to have a slew of forgotten-era records on my iPod than it is to have 11 Conor Oberst ones. Right?
