Oh Regine Chassagne I don’t know much abt u but know ur the girl from the Arcade Fire Have had my eye on u for a while
Regine… Not even sure how to pronounce ur name but getting rlly in2 u Oh Regine…
Sometimes I see u on stage, jimmy jangling a tambourine Other times u will playing some sort of weird accordian instrument ur super enigmatic Like a ‘foreign chick’ at college who all the bros ‘want’ Sometimes I wonder if u r kinda like if the Beatles had let Yoko Ono in2 the band and Yoko would have had the chance to prove that she ‘can ball over all’ and make the band way more authentic / help them to write better songs evolve into a ‘global indie brand’ Wonder if the Beatles missed out/coulda stayed together if they let Yoko in2 the band. Feel like maybe the Arcade Fire would be 100% better / 100% worse with/without Regine
Oh Regine… Ur kinda cute Ur from Haiti, right? U kinda remind me of a mix of Feist, Alice Glass, Zooey Deschanel, Bethany Cosentino, Ke$ha and some1 else that is hot/ post-hot in an alt kind of way
Regine… Can’t believe Win Butler married u He’s lucky But at the same time, kinda wonder if he regrets not getting to ‘bang’ tons of indie skank road ass
If u have Regine U don’t need entry level skanks who ‘love ur music’ U already have The Regine
Really interesting that they let you sing lead vocals “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” ‘arguably’ the best song on the album THE SUBURBS
Can’t tell if ur voice can really ‘hold up’ Part of me wants Win 2 sing that song but maybe it was his gift to u to let u into this buzzband
Regine… I believe I could slot u into any band and make them sexier/more relevant Regine–I believe in u
Oh Win How did u do it? U started the #1 indie rock band in the history of the world and u got Regine Ur a lucky man U deserve it
What I wouldn’t give 2 wake up in neighborhood #3 in the suburbs with Regine Oh Regine Been watching u so closely from the very beginning Ur more than just a female multi-instrumentalist U r ‘the glue’ of the Arcade Fire
After the M.I.A. anti-ginger wave really don’t like the ginger guy who ‘bangs on shit’ No way that dude is ‘the glue’ of the Arcade Fire U gotta give it up 4 my girl Regine
Oh Regine let’s just go back to our childhood homes in suburbia and throw molotov cocktails at houses / cars we’ll start a buzzband and write an album about ‘rising above’ my suburban past
Honestly not even sure who is ‘in’ the Arcade Fire Who actually ‘has equity’ in the band and who is just a ‘hired gun’ to ‘fill basketball arenas’ with sound Not sure who that other non-Regine girl but she is kinda keut (But she is no Regine)
Oh Regine… Oh Regine… Regine Regine Regine… Might give up on Alice Glass and put ‘all of my eggs’ in the Regine Chassagne basket Do u <3 Regine? Is Regine way better than Best Coast? Is Regine the 'Yoko Ono' of indie music? Could u slot Regine into any indie band and make them more relevant? Do u crush harder on Regine or Zooey Deschanel? Should Regine 'go solo' and ride the slutwave? Is Regine mad talented, or 'just along for the ride'? Behind every great man, is there a great woman? Or behind every successful woman, is there a man making decisions/pressing buttons? Is there something about Regine? Who is the current ‘sexiest woman alive’ in indie music? <3 indie vagine
Got super excited when I saw this video, thinking that Girls Gone Wild had decided to launch a new ‘content vertical’, looking to inspire alternative bros to get ‘mad erect.’ I have always dreamed of a centralized location to watch hipster porn that featured some of my favourite elements of alternative skanks.
I took out a bottle of lubricant, worked my penis into a ‘mild erection’, but then it was just another effing hipster bashing video. Got kinda bummed, because me and my bro were gonna ‘jerk it’ together. Sometimes we’ll stay up late at night, sit in the glow of the television, buzzed off PBR, and ‘get ourselves off’ while we watch the GGW informercial.
Should they have named this video ‘HIPSTER GIRLS GONE WILD’ to get 200% more hits, or does ‘Indie Rock Girls’ resonate with ppl/inspire clicks? Is this video ‘effing hilarious’? Is web video humor ‘hilarious’/'inspiring’ or has it resulted in tons of unfunny content for blog publishers to ‘coast’ on?
R u gonna ‘order this on vinyl’ and ‘ride away on ur fixed gear bike’ wearing ‘American Apparel’ while ‘drinking a PBR’? Are hipster bashing videos ‘funnie’ or sooo 2k1? Do u wish this video When u want to get off to ‘hipster porn’ do u just find some sort of ‘barely legal’ tumblr that features alt skanks getting nude for ‘the sake of art’? Was this video ‘funny’ or ‘entry level’? Do u h8 duos of bros who make ‘web shorts’? Should Girls Gone Wild ‘actually launch’ an indie / hipster porn site? Do u want to see a wet t-shirt contest that searches 4 the perfect alternative breasts?
The xx is a popular UK buzzband who grew up in the American indie scene, then were re-exported back to the UK when they realized they could ‘own’ something kewl. They have sold mad albums, and have mad critical acclaim, and have basically been touring for 2 years, playing the same songs over and over again. They have this ‘innovative light box’ that does crazy lighting up shit while they play. It has helped them to brand themselves, and helped consumers identify who they were, like ‘oh damn, two X-es on stage. They must be the Dos Equis.
Anyways, they are ‘selling’ their lightbox so they don’t have to lug it back to the UK and buy a plane seat for it. Since they are way more rich & famous now, they are probably going to build an even bigger, yet more portable stage setup. It seems like they are ‘doing this for charity’, but it is really just a buzzband liquidation, representing their move into mainstream markets, requiring ‘over-the-top’ stage presences.
Before retreating back to the UK for a well-deserved break, the xx will leave one lucky fan with a very special item of memorabilia. The band is auctioning off its aesthetically simple yet impressive xx-lightboxes via a public eBay auction.
Who do u think is gonna buy this? A huge XX fan? Some1 who needs a night light? Some1 who will use it on stage for their own buzzband? Would u rather own an XX t-shirt, or their actual stage gear? Do u think it comes with the drummer’s little beep boop button drums?
The two large, black boxes, which both feature a large, glowing X, have served as the visual backdrop for the xx throughout its past year’s shows. They will come to their new owner as they are, all the sweat and stains of world-touring included, and all the proceeds from their sale will go to Amnesty International.
Do u want Oliver Sim, Romy Croft, and that other drummer dude’s sweat stains all over u? Is this gonna make ‘mad bank’ for charity? If u bought this, what would u do with it? R u tired of supporting the XX? Did the XX peak on album #1? Is the XX short on money, or do they just have ‘so much money’ that they can just build a new lightbox/LCD soundsystem illumination daft punk pyramid?
Wonder if there is any way that I could purchase their huge plywood X, or if that is already at ‘the city dump.’ Can probably just go to Home Depot and reconstruct that shit, though.
Do u think the ‘yall were great on fallon’ broad is gonna sell her car, stop paying her apartment, and pick up a few extra shifts at Little Caesar’s to try to buy this?
Do u want to own a part of the XX brand? Is this a unique way to connect with fans? Should the XX ‘take their lightboxes’ back 2 England? Should I purchase these light boxes and start a new rival to the ‘Rock N Roll HAll of Fame’ called the ‘Indie Buzzband Museum’?
All my life, I have been told that women only value 3 things in a man: money, huge peens, and physical attractiveness. Unfortunately, I have been scared that I would never have any of these, and I would never find some1 to love me, or some1 who I can plant my seed in. Before the 2010s, women just wanted to be ‘dominated’ and ‘told what to do’ as long as they had food on the table and a weekly shopping spree at the mall.
Now women are more independent, and are seeking a chill ass life partner. Women are ‘more independent’, and that basically means that they are ‘stressed and crazy’ so they need a chill ass bro who metaphorically danks them out in their down time:
Women generally find calm, collected men more attractive, and scientists now suggest they know the biology of why that is.
Investigations into what makes men desirable often focus on testosterone. The hormone is linked with masculine facial traits, such as larger jaws and heavier brows, and is typically associated with better long-term health. As such, it might at first glance make sense from an evolutionary point of view if women found testosterone-laden men especially attractive.
The study is based around some sort of imaginary concept called ‘cortisol’, which is some sort of ‘magic mojo’ or something like that. For the purposes of this article, we can just call cortisol ‘unchill juice’, so the more of it in ur body, the more likely u r to be unchill.
However, past studies have often revealed that men with high testosterone levels are not automatically appealing to women, who view such testosterone-laden men as having long-term drawbacks. For instance, the macho guys may lead a “player’s” lifestyle, or may also be bad parents.
Instead, human behavioral ecologist Fhionna Moore at the University of Abertay Dundee in Scotland and her colleagues focused on the stress-linked hormone cortisol. Persistently high levels of cortisol can suppress not just the immune system, but also reproductive function. As such, it would make sense if women preferred men with low cortisol levels — that is, those who are not stressed out.
How much cortisol do u have in ur body? R u mad chill or unchill? R u a chill bro with a sweet ass girlfriend who loves u 4 u? Or are you a bad ass possessive BF who makes sure
Apparently this is a side-by-side of a chill bro and an unchill bro. The dude on the left is unchill because he has too much cortisol, but the bro on the right is ‘mad chill’.
Apparently ‘low-cortisol’ = ‘mad chill.’
“We speculate, then, that males with low cortisol possess something desirable that women seek to secure for their offspring,” Moore said. “This could be, for example, good health or a healthy response to stress.”
I guess that makes sense. Women just want to chill out, and have some1 plant a seed in them. They’d rather have chill, passionate sex with a chill bro, not ‘abusive, possessive sex’ with an unchill bro.
If u r a girl, do u like bros who are chill? Will chill bros end up smoking weed and not making ‘mad bank’ throughout their lives’? Do unchill bros make it far in life, being able to walk all over chill bros? Can a bro be ‘too chill’? Does this make Ernest Greene of Washed Out ‘the sexiest man alive’? Does chillwave even ‘resonate’ with women, or is it a bros only genre? Should all women ‘stop dealing with men’ and just be crazy lesbians 2gether? Can a couple be ‘too chill’ or does chillness help u to achieve life goals?
Basketball jerseys have become a chill, alt look for bros in the summer. Whether you are going to a relevant music festival, grabbing a smoothie at Jamba Juice, or mowing ur parents’ lawn in suburbia, the basketball jersey is a great way to stay warm with a breathable product and show off ur alt figure. Kinda an old trend, but I think mainstream sports blogs have been generating ‘mad photo gallery hits’ by posting ‘effing hoopsters wearing basketball jerseys’ photo galleries.
Really worried abt the state of modern journalism. Wonder if this bro can email his parents and say ‘I was in the NYTimes 4 wearing that jersey you bought me before I was cut from the middle school basketball team.’
Mr. Haavisto, a 22-year-old aspiring filmmaker in Manhattan who wears tortoiseshell glasses and Vans sneakers, is among an unexpected breed of memorabilia collectors: 20-somethings with limited finances and unlimited nostalgia for the N.B.A. players — often obscure — of their childhoods.
Walk Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on a sunny Sunday, and you'll spy any number of young men in vintage N.B.A. jerseys. It's a safe bet none are headed to the basketball court.
Jesus Christ. None of them heading to basketball courts. Dear Lord. Vans sneakers. Holy shit. 20-somethings with limited finances. Unlimited nostalgia. Christ.
The article goes on to ‘interview’ a few alts who wear NBA jerseys, and they ‘don’t want to say where they found their authentic jerseys’ because they are afraid of too many people finding out where 2 find relevant jerseys:
Both Mr. Keegan and Mr. Haavisto say they resent the new-found popularity of these jerseys among the fashion-conscious who are not basketball fans, and lament the rising prices for used and replica jerseys. Mr. Haavisto refused to name his favorite vintage store for fear of word getting around.
I wonder if vintage NBA jerseys are ‘the new buzzbands’ via not wanting mainstreamers to discover them/get their hands on them. Do u ever try to keep people from finding out about relevant bands/buzzworthy albums?
The article then goes on to admit that this article is just trying to ‘get in on the hits’ that all the blogs are getting by posting ‘hoopster’ galleries:
the sports blog Deadspin.com asked readers to submit photos of themselves in their favorite jerseys for an online feature. A 75-photograph series from Lollapalooza had over 52,000 page views.
Does n e 1 know how much a page view is worth in internet dollars? Do u wear vintage clothes/jerseys to connect with ur youth/the past? Are retro NBA jerseys an ‘authentic trend’, or has the trend been around for a while, but the blogosphere is just ‘figuring out the appropriate way 2 memefy this meme’? Have u ‘made it’ as a human/trend/cultural movement when u end up in the New York Times?
Is this bro a ‘hipster’ or just a ’20-something’?
Then they interviewed popular jam band singer Dave Matthews and he tried to be all deep:
David Matthews, a contributing editor to Deadspin, sees a possible psycho-social imperative behind the trend. "A friend of mine thinks that wearing an N.B.A. jersey is a way of showcasing your masculinity after years of figurative castration brought on by skinny jeans and the like," he said.
Wonder if I should just tuck my cock between my legs, walk around with a mangina, and chill in a WNBA jersey. Is the NYTimes ‘relevant’ or just a blog content aggregator? What is the most alt retro NBA jersey? Should Am Appy start selling vintage NBA jerseys 2 save their business? Should I move 2 Brooklyn and try to ‘start a trend’ so that I can get a writeup that launches my career?
Amazon.com always does this thing where they will ‘discount’ relevant indie albums [via the digital store] upon their first week of release. A lot of theorists claimed that the record labels were chill with this, because it allows indie bands to ‘sell more units’ and perform on the mainstream charts. Sufjan Stevens is like ‘aw hell naw’, though, and is mad pissed that amazon is ‘devaluing his work.’
Feel like this is probably an admission that his album won’t perform ‘commercially’ and has a negligible chance to appeal to a mass market, so he is just scraping at all of the $$$ he can get. Really sad to realize that Sufjan isn’t chasing mainstream dollars, and instead will just try to acquire a high percentage of his core fan base’s money.
With a new album, ‘The Age of Adz,’ ready to be released in October, the singer-songwriter’s record label, Asthmatic Kitty Records, has issued an e-mail to fans claiming that Amazon’s bulk discount scheme is devaluing the work of artists.
Seems kinda weird for a record label to discourage fans from buying an album at a low price. I guess that record label h8s their fans or something. Just wish record labels would ‘override’ their artists’ artistic spirits, and get them ready to ‘take to market’/make the most amount of money + reach the most ppl.
The e-mail said, “We have mixed feelings about discounted pricing. Like we said, we love getting good music into the hands of good people, and when a price is low, more people buy. A low price will introduce a lot of people to Sufjan’s music and to this wonderful album. For that, we’re grateful.”
It added, “But we also feel like the work that our artists produce is worth more than a cost of a latte. We value the skill, love, and time they’ve put into making their records. And we feel that our work too, in promotion and distribution, is also valuable and worthwhile.”
Wonder if they are still ‘rolling’ in Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack dollars. Wonder if Sufjy even has to ‘write another song’ ever again. Sorta just wish he only wrote Chicago-style bangers.
Glad we are in the post-MGMT era, and we hold it against bands when they don’t stick 2 a formula that ‘works’/makes a lot of people rlly happy.
What do u think is the ‘fair price’ for an album? $100? Should we add up the price of Sufjan’s childhood banjo lessons and add some sort of ‘depreciated’/'adjusted for inflation’ costs? Is Amazon.com discounting ‘the only way in hell’ u would even consider purchasing an album? Should we all just ‘buy shit off iTunes’ and eff over Is iTunes ‘losing popularity’ or will it be around 4evr because ppl have iPhones and Poddies?
Where is a good place to buy albums so that the artist gets all the cash? Should I just wait to purchase
To this end, Asthmatic Kitty have recommended that check out alternative retailers and distributors such as Bandcamp which allows artists to sell directly to fans.
Will a service like ‘bandcamp’ ever be taken seriously, or does it need to ‘rebrand’? Will a new music service that ‘helps artists monetize’ take over the indie scene? Does ‘the lack of innovation’ in album distribution hurt artists? Or is it a ‘good thing’ that retailers like iTunes, amazon.com, and ur local Best Buy exist to give mainstream markets an opportunity to acquire ur product? Is Sufjan ‘right’, or does he need to ‘shut the eff up’ and write better albums 2 inspire ppl 2 buy them? Do u respect Vampire Weekend and the Arcade Fire 4 letting amazon ‘liquidate’ their album, or should all albums cost $17.99? R u sad that Sufjy is ‘begging’ 4 money/discouraging ppl from buying his album?
So many alts are still discovering music every day, utilizing facebook to have meaningful discourse about which bands are buzzworthy and which bands are ‘pure shit.’ It’s so weird how there are so many new services u can use to discover music that u like based on what u’ve heard/ur previous listening history, but even though computers are smart, no1 knows u better than ur bros.
Here is a convo between bros where they try to talk about the post-hardcore altino act The Mars Volta. Have u heard of them, or are they too ____ 4 u? First, a bro is like ‘Dude. Mars Volta is bad ass.’
Then another bro comes along and is like ‘they are weird.’
A third bro comes out of nowhere and is like ‘they are defaneatley interesting, but i have only heard 1 of they’re mp3s. Will have 2 DL some more.’
Then an authentic bro comes along and is like ‘dude, Mars Volta is inauthentic. At The Drive in was their first band before they totesally broke up and tried to go mainstream [via SPARTA]‘
The initial bro is like, “That’s kewl, gotta check out their discography. Love this facebook thing.”
Finally, a snarky alt comes along, and is like, “Have u mother fuckers ever heard of the band The Vampire Weekends? See yall on the blogs, bitches!”
Gotta love indie self-aware bros ‘killing it’ in the facebook wall-2-wall scene, making fun of inauthentic post-hardcore fans who just want to listen to dudes yelling into microphones.
Is post-hardcore authentic? Do u ever see lamestreamers talking about music on facebook? Are these bros ‘inauthentic’? What kind of ppl listen to the Mars Volta? Is it chill 2 make fun of ppl on facebook if they don’t realize it? Was that bro ‘making fun of their lack of awareness of buzzbands’ or is he ‘honestly recommending’ the Vampire Weekend because it sounds a lot like the Mars Volta?
