Exophilia and my new philosophy on life

I think there may be some type of thought stimulating chemical in turkey as I've been eating the leftovers from thanksgiving all weekend, or maybe its my jetlag waking me up really early every morning letting me think things out.
I've said, and have heard other people say the phrase "I hate people," many times. Its a sort of cool anti-social slogan that allows one to explain their alienated position in the social world and to a lesser extent, their love of this alienation. I basically loved the implications of this statement until I heard it said by Lolita, who has a blog somewhere on the internet posting erotic stories she wrote before she was in grade school, and has a boyfriend named Erik L who reminds me of so many things that both I love and hate. For some reason hearing a member of the female sex say this catechism, combined with my inherent american chauvanism, made me realize a certain stubborn sadness that can go with this saying, and pessimism in general. I'm thinking about stepping away from my own pessimism that led me to an earlier post about the death of indie rock. This death is not true, and this song is dedicated to both Lolita and that former sentiment.

Hang On, Girl - Favorite Sons

I thought my friends and I were alone in feeling the need to listen to less western music in general ("Fuck indie I'm listening to Brazillian post-punk from now on"), but it turns out like with my shoegazer phase, that the entire indie world is moving and has been moving in that same direction as well. Examples are the popularity of European and Japanese bands, Borat, Beirut, and to a little smaller degree Bishop Allen, who I love.

Bishop Allen - Like Castanets

So I think this new love of things non-western also goes against another older belief I had about the stupidity of so many popular music bloggers being apolitical, as the vast majority of the indie world seems to lean leftwards. Well, you can't hold it against someone if they shy from overt political commentary. I'd like to imagine that this reaching out to the rest of the world for music reflects a desire to understand more than just a westernized-american ideology, and that that in some way is a reflection of a desire to understand the current fucked-up political state of todays world.
Thats it, no extended ranting for me.

PS I still fucking hate those mouth breathing Aussie pricks.
