Before I do, what the is dressing "bandish?" Please describe me what "bandish" clothing is, because I'm sure the definition differs between just about any genre of music a band plays in.

Pretty much dressing in sync with the band your in. I do not mean wearing the same outfit as each other. I mean dressing so you all look like you belong to the same band.

Simple: T-Pain. Everytime a new song comes out, and becomes successful, next month a remix comes out with T-Pain in it. It's like he doesn't even have his own songs, he just jumps on to everyone elses.

Just my two cents: first off, rap/hiphop is good if it has a meaning behind it and isnt just some song about drugs, money, hoes or sex, thats stuffs just getting old and annoying. i respect people who take the music seriously and don't write a song for a quick buck when they have no talent (soulja boy cough, it sounds like he paid T-Pain to write crank that then took it upon himself to write the rest.) and this is regardless of color or genre. Dude, if your not good at singing, don't record. and lip syncing at every award show really needs to get out. shows how much talent the person has in the first place. At least alicia keys has the balls to actually sing at award shows.

Vinyl. All these indie kids that come to my record store buying up the albums on vinyl are ridiculous. They look the same, act the same, coming in with their ho-bag girlfriends, not even glancing at the CDs or anything else. "Oh, but it sounds better, man!" Oh, yeah, crackling and popping noises sound so much more awesome than crisp digital transfers, dude! The only reason people buy vinyl is because they're annoying hipster f*ckheads with lame, meaningless tattoos, and are so damn pretentious it makes my ears bleed (and judging by some of their selections, my ears will literally start to bleed sooner than later). They have to have something collectible, they have to have something rarefied, they have to have something a smaller amount of potential other fans can have. They know every single consumer other than themselves is buying CDs, so they have to be the thinkers outside the box and buy something different. They always have to be different and do what's hip. And what is "hip" right now is what is retro, and what's "retro" is vinyl.
Here's some advice: buy CD, pop CD into computer, rip songs into iTunes, transfer songs onto iPod. It's almost too easy. Easiness and indie f*cks don't get along too well. They like for their lives to be as difficult as possible, so they go out of their way to buy an otherwise dead product because nobody else is doing it, which entices them. "Let's see, small and efficient, or large, bulky, and Frisbee-sized?" Jesus Christ. They collect these records not because they are music connoisseurs, but because they realize they are buying a product that will someday be worth some money - money to buy more pitifully worthless tattoos, concert tickets for basement shows, coffee, cigarettes, typewriter ribbons, half a month's rent for their Blue line-side apartment in Chicago, partial semester's tuition at Columbia, whathaveyou.
I await the day 'retro' becomes retro. When people start dressing like they live in 2008 to directly counter and spite the people who dress like they live in whatever f*cking decade is "in" these days. Is it the '70s? "Well, too many people have caught onto our retro lifestyles, meaning we must co-opt the culture of another, less-popular time and do as they once did." Oh ****, it's 2008; time to buy some MP3s, some touch iPods, and latch onto mainstream American cinema! The retrograde love affair with being someone not yourself is over; life, is over.
I'm sorry.

I'm totally out of the loop to be honest. But I had never even heard of "T-Pain" until I entered this thread. lol

What's so wrong with vinyl . . . seriously? If it's kept in good shape, then it seriously is as good a quality as CD, and can still be ripped to the computer (just not by using a pretentiously shitty program like iTunes -- hey kids, it eat up your RAM!) Yes there is a collecting aspect to it, but there's also the fact that an album itself is a complete package. I've tracked down records to strictly get the vinyl version because I want the artwork as much as I do the music on it. Sounds like someone's trying too hard.
