HIPSTER RUNOFF

HIPSTER RUNOFF

Some raver skank puts Deadmau5 pasties over her nips, shows off bosoms

Deadmau5 is some raver who wears a weird mouse mask. Not sure what his music / sets even sound like, just think he is one of those popular masked DJs that electro tweens are ‘all about’.

Here is some pic of him wearing his zany mask.

Anyways, he was DJing hard at the Electric Daisy Carnival, and 1 of his biggest fans made a slutty rave outfit with nipple body paint of his logo brand on her nips. Sorta like a ‘modern bra.’ Can’t believe he has a fan who created custom body paint / bling / nipple tassels in support of his brand. Maybe he should start selling these instead of tshirts to try to take his brand 2 the next level. Would definitely go to 1 of his concerts if all of the women in the audience ‘had their titties out.’

Should more bands start to sell nipple-covers instead of t-shirts?
Might wear a neon version of these indians to a Neon Indian show.

Maybe some X-es over my nips at an XX show.

Are raver girls ‘fucking hot’ because u can make love to them after they pass out [via /dehydration]?
Are raves ruining Los Angeles?
Do people dress like sluts everywhere?
R u hornie 4 raver girls?
Should I put a lil deadmau5 mask on the head of my penis?
Are ‘masked DJs’ still alt?
Do u think she put ecstasy on her tongue at some time during the night?

Photograph of girl who died at rave emerges. Her name was Sasha Rodriguez.

This is a photograph of the 15 year old girl who died at the Los Angeles rave from ODing on XTC. Even tho it was a 16 and up event, this 15 year old girl managed to sneak in.

Here is another CBS news piece about the Rodriguez family. Says that Sasha ‘drank from a friend’s water bottle laced with ecstasy.’

Watch CBS News Videos Online

Seems like she wasn’t really a drug user or anything. Friends and family confused:

Kimberly Keith, a family friend, said Sasha’s loved ones are still trying to figure out what happened. Although they knew Sasha was going to her first rave, Keith said, drug use was “not her character.”

When they got the call that Sasha had been taken to the hospital, they had no idea how serious her condition was.

“We were almost like joking, ‘Oh she’s going to be in trouble. I can’t believe she went there!’ ” she said. Keith said they thought maybe the rave was “too packed, she was excited and passed out…. Never in a million years would we would have imagined” drugs.

A 16-year old friend who was with Sasha at the rave said Sasha was dancing, got hot and began quickly drinking cold water.

Doctors said “her sodium, electrolytes were so low that when she started replacing them so quickly [with cold water], ecstasy messes up your body’s ability to process that, so it threw her body out of whack,” said Keith.

Do yall feel sad that Grace Rodriguez’s daughter is gone, all because of electro music + LA drug culture?

The girl, identified by family members as Sasha Rodriguez, was one of two rave attendees who were in critical condition at California Hospital Medical Center after the 14th annual Electric Daisy Carnival.

As Sasha’s family decided whether to remove her from life support Tuesday, her mother, Grace Rodriguez, told the CBS Evening News: “I was supposed to be planning her Sweet Sixteen party. Now I have to plan her funeral.”

Kinda scared to take ecstasy now.

She sank into a coma and suffered multiple organ failure, prompting her family to remove her from life support. Doctors said she had the hallucinogen Ecstasy, also called MDMA, in her system. Another rave attendee is in critical condition from a similar overdose.

Ecstasy can cause high blood pressure leading to stroke or seizures, which can then cause kidney failure.

The rave was restricted to those 16 and older. Sasha was not carrying identification, friends and family said. “Obviously, they didn’t check IDs,” said Eva Rodriguez, Sasha’s godmother.

Who will be held responsible for the death of Sasha Rodriguez?
Is it the promoter’s fault? Her mother’s? Her friends?
Are yall pumped about Electric Daisy Carnival 2011, which will be held on foreign soil?
Are yall excited about the anti-rave movement in California?
Is the local news market in California ‘pumped’ about this new genre of ‘rave content’ 2 scare old ppl?
Does this make u want to go 2 a rave, or do u feel scared u will die there?

WAVVES gets an 8.4 + BNM from Pitchfork. Does it ‘deserve that shit’?

Posted: 01 Jul 2010 08:15 AM PDT

WAVVES is a popular buzzband from California who loves to smoke weed and ‘go surfing’ at the beach. He has some new album coming out called “King of the Blunts”, probably a love letter 2 weed or something. N e ways, Pitchfork Media ‘gave him an 8.4′, and labeled his album “Best New Music.”

Really confused about 2k10 albums… can’t tell what is ‘actually good’ and what is just ‘a relatively young buzzband getting a high score.’

It seems like they try to make it seem like WAVVES ‘overcame’ the difficult job/expectations of being in a buzzband:

In the world of independent music, learning on the job is frowned upon. It’s easier than ever for kids to make professional-grade records and have them heard, but any sign of weakness– a lackluster stage show, a questionable interview, a dud follow-up– and listeners will let you know how duped they feel. Few people know this better than Nathan Williams, who made his buzzy second album Wavvves at his parents’ house and spent the rest of 2009 on a badwill tour (live disaster, canceled tour, fistfight) that earned him Lohan/Hilton-levels of derision in certain circle

Then they call Best Coast his ‘best bud’ and claim that he stole Jay Reatard’s band:

But some stuck with him, like Best Coast best bud Bethany Cosentino, the late Jay Reatard’s backing band, and esteemed producer Dennis Herring.

Do yall think that WAVVES stole Jay Reatard’s band [via conspiracy]?

Eventually Pitchfork acts like the father figure that WAVVES never had:

Either way, it’s’ a fantastic record, and you can’t say Williams didn’t earn it this time. Don’t blow it, dude.

“Dont blow it bro. Ur a relavant buzzband. We’ll ride ur memes hard. Just do ur best. We’ll be proud of u. Ur fuzzy buzzy.”

Will Best Coast get a ‘higher score’ than WAVVES?
Will that cause tension in their relationship?
If they both get ‘Best New Music’ will they be “Best New Relationship”?
Should some1 buy WAVVES a couple of kilos of dank 2 help him celebrate?
Will WAVVES have a long, fruitful career, or will he turn into the next Ratatat, failing 2 evolve?
Are yall happy that the WAVVES album cycle is over, or will he end up on Fallon?

Michael Cera gonna be in another ‘indie film’ where he plays himself, fights Jason Schwartzman

Posted: 01 Jul 2010 06:36 AM PDT


Michael Cera is one of the worst actors of our generation who has been grandfathered into the genre of mainstream quirky meaningful indie bro comedy films. Not sure what he brings to the table as an actor. He sort of just stands their and looks like ‘a lil indie hipster from 2004′ and says quirky stuff, then asks girls to like him. Then the girl finally realizes, ‘well, if I date a pussie, at least I can control him and keep him addicted 2 my pussie.’ Feel like he has set back the male species genre at least 1000 years. Guess this movie is supposed to be his ‘breakout’ role, maybe.

Do yall think he can ‘carry’ a film, or is it just the same boring, unfunny humor that usually flops? Is he a ‘dynamic actor’?

How many ‘crappy quirky indie movie cliches’ does this movie have in it?
Do u wish u could throw down a chill with Macaulay Culkin’s brother, or do u want the real Mac Daddy?

Apparently Scott Pilgrim Vs The World is a quirky modern comic book / graphic novel series. Not sure who reads this type of crap. Feel like they should probably ‘grow the fuck up’ and stop living in a dream world. I feel like the same type of ppl who live in a world where Owl City ’sounds like magic’ probably read this.

Not sure why Jason Schwartzman agreed to be in this film. I feel like he shoulda retired after “Rushmore” maybe. Feel like maybe he needs some cash, and ‘mainstream indie filmmakers’ will always be eager to exploit his brand.

Do u think Michael Cera’s career is gonna be ‘over’ after he goes thru puberty?
Does this film look ‘awesome’, bringing together the organic elements of the graphic novel with a unique style?
Will this movie ‘flop’?
Will this movie be the next Spiderman/Iron Man?
Will Michael Cera/Jason Schwartzman win a ‘best actor’ oscar within the next 50 years? (not counting MTV movie awards)
Have yall ever fingered a girl in a movie theatre, as a shitty movie played in the background while she climaxed?

Bjork and the Dirty Projectors lose their minds, write concept album from the voice of a whale pod

Dirty Projectors + Björk- All We Are by DominoRecordCo

Worried abt the Dirty Projectors. I think the buzzosphere was ‘all about them’ in 2k9, since they added like 5 cute indie girls to sing ‘oohs’ and ‘aaaaahs’. They had 1 song that Jay-Z, Beyonce and her sister vibed out to called ‘Stillness is the Move.’ N e ways, they seem to be ‘collab-ing’ with Bjork to write some crazy person album about a family of whales:

….Amber from Dirty Projectors was walking along a ridge on Mount Wittenberg, north of San Francisco. She was looking out at the ocean and saw a little family of whales, as you sometimes do in April on the Northern California coast. I wrote some songs about it and sent them to Björk, who agreed to sing the part of the mom whale. The songs became Mount Wittenberg Orca. Amber and Angel and Haley sang the part of the kid whales, and I sang the part of Amber. We sang all week long and learned the music just in time to perform it at the bookstore on May 8th.

Have yall ever seen a collective of animals and decided 2 write a hit album about the experience?
Is Bjork a chill person to collab with, or is she ‘too out there’?
Is Bjork still a relevant meme in 2k10?

Apparently they aren’t doing this concept album ‘4 profits’, they are just trying to help the environment/whales or something.

I feel like Dirty Projectors should ‘man up’ like Kevin Costner, and invest all of their buzzband profits in creating a technology that cleans up the oil spills. Feel like are doing fine, because if they get hungry, they can just go to a ‘Killer Whale Homeless Shelter’ at a local Sea World Theme Park:

We've decided to give away all the money that Wittenberg generates to the project of creating international marine protected areas. Only 1% of the oceans are protected in any way and this is a huge problem. We're working with the National Geographic Society to create areas of sustainability, so the oceans don't end up like a giant poisonous corpse hugging the continents.

Wonder if Bjork and the DPs (Doub Penetrations) are musical soulmates. Wonder if they will ’save the environment.’

In addition, they think their music is ‘too good’ for Macbook speakers:

We're so psyched about how this recording came out and hope you are too. Don't listen on those tinny computer speakers — put in on the stereo and blast dat shiiiiiiiiii!!

Should they team up with Sarah McLachlan to save domestic animals from cruelty

Do these commercials ruin ur vibe? Did Sarah McLachlan ruin her brand?

Do the dirty projectors not care about domesticated animals & think we should focus on saving animals in their natural environment?

Do yall think this collab is ’sweet’ and ‘unique’?
Do yall wanna ride chillwaves or whale waves?
Should the Dirty Projectors ‘find a new gimmick’ and move beyond the orca thing?
Do yall like music that is written to save animals/the environment?

Might just vibe out to Savage Garden’s hit song “The Animal Song”

‘I want to live like animals…
Careless and free…
like animals
I want to run thru the jungle
with the wind in my hair
and the sun at my feet…’

Shitty iPad DJ releases first music video, continues perpetuation of her shitty brand

Posted: 30 Jun 2010 06:42 PM PDT

Link: http://gizmodo.com/5576746/the-quest-for-the-perfect-ipad-boyfriend-a-music-video


The is ‘one of the most worthless DJs/humans/marketing gurus on the planet’ after she continues to ‘brand herself’ as a ‘cutting edge ’ who ‘uses modern technology’ to create art. Can’t belieive she ‘wrote a song’ and ‘made a music video for it.

Do yall ‘h8 her’?

It seems like she is just trying to ’stay relevant’ by using Apple products, maybe hoping to get an internship with something. Wonder if she checks her inbox every day waiting for an email from SteveJobs_Apple.CEO@hotmail.com, or if he h8s himself for creating all of these misused, overbranded products

The tune is called “Solace” and the video was shot entirely with an iPhone 4 (though it was edited in Final Cut). All the music was created on Rana’s iPad DJing setup, using two apps called Looptastic and AKAI Synthstation.

‘Really awesome that she used a new iPhone 4 to prove what a great product it is, and how u can make professional quality art with Apple Products.’

In the video, she seems to be ‘looking for the perfect man’, but she is so depressing/annoying that no real human could ever love her/empathize with her. She starts to date iPads, and finds some sort of love/lust based relationship with her iPad. I didn’t watch the entire video, but if I had 2 guess

Have yall ever been on a date with an iPad?
What does an iPad’s penis look like?

Do yall h8 the ?
R u really tired of her?
Will she ever find a man who loves her for who she is?
Does she look hot in the video?
Do u wish she would date u instead of an iPad, then u could sort of ‘lock her up in a sex dungeon with a generation 1 iPod shuffle’?
Do u think she is just going to keep integrating every new Apple product into her ‘gimmick’ so that she stays ‘relevant’?
Are yall interesting in booking her 2 play her sweet songs?
Is this video/ project ‘a complete disaster’?
Do yall wish she would play at a rave in Los Angeles and OD / get trampled 2 death by a herd of Mexialts?
