At what point is it safe to declare that indie rock has fully infiltrated the mainstream? When Wayne Coyne appears in a computer commercial? Perhaps. When a Modest Mouse song is performed on American Idol? Maybe. How about when a mid-level act gets a shout-out in Sally Forth? Bingo! The surprisingly hip strip recently featured a … And You Will Know Us By A Trail Of Dead joke, which may or may not be typical. (Any Forth fans out there?) You can read it over at Pitchfork. Now, we're just waiting for Thom Yorke to become one of the hosts of The View.
