I’m pissed yall
Was chillin super hard without Bethany
she was gone for weeks
the apartment didn’t smell like dank
and she didn’t try to hug me all the time and blow smoke in my face

(Note: I am x straight edge x)

Just like being in control of my thoughts and feelings.
Don’t really like drug culture

Anyways, Bethster was on tour for sooo long
Had the whole house to myself
Didn’t have to watch subpar MTV programming
Full control of the remote

Vibed out 2 Animal Planet
Discovery Chanel
even considered ordering an HDTV off amazon dot com
With the Converse money that Bethers got

Was chilling so hard
Figured out how to feed myself so I didn’t have to rely on the autofeeder
Was just vibing out
listening to chillwave music

Then she walks in
i try to run away
she grabs me after 10 minutes
She thinks it is ‘cute’ that I am scared

Like I forgot who she was
No, I didn’t forget who u were
I just like having the space 2 myself
Like doin my Snacks thing

That’s not even really my name
My real name is Tom Hanks
H8 the name ‘Snacks’
Just wish ppl would call me Tom HAnks

Ugh

So effed
Life is ovr
Depressed

Just wanna live a chill cat life
She didn’t even pay me for appearing on her cover.

Plz help

Some cyberbullied tween gets tattoos of hate words all over his body

Posted: 05 Oct 2010 02:15 PM PDT


From what I understand, the modern bully knows how to truly push a ‘weakling’s’ buttons to drive him over the edge. A modern bully must saturate the ‘loser’s’ content stream–in person, on the internet, and thru mobile wireless devices. Whether you are in person with a lamestreamer, or on-the-go, there are progressive ways to let some1 know that they don’t fit in, they don’t belong, and that there is little they could do to re-brand themselves into ‘some1 kewl who gets mad props.’

I just saw this video of a bro who is getting tons of tattoos on his body that are ‘insults’ and ‘hate words’ that people have directed his way. He seems to be checking twitter on his phone, or getting mobile updates with new terms that people call him so that he can have them added to his body. The concept is that he needs to remember what people think abt him, because you should never forget what people say abt u, whether it is good or bad.

Do yall give cyberbullies ‘mad props’ for bullying kids on the internet?
When some1 commits suicide due to , is it the parents’ fault because they didn’t let them know that ‘bullies’ will work at Taco Bell in 10-20 years?
Do parents have a responsibility to their kids to let them know that ‘ + twitspace’ aren’t representative of reality?
Should tweens be banned from social networks until they are 17?

Unfortunately, this video just turned out to be a public service announcement. Really thought this bro was hardcore, being all like, ‘yea bitches. I hear what u call me. How bout yall go out and get some tattoos abt how kewl u think u r, then we’ll talk.’

Sometimes I wonder if we sorta ‘simplify’ the ‘problem’ of bullying by just voicing our desire to ‘make it stop.’ Maybe we should intervene with bullies, get their feedback, find out what they are good at, and maybe they can help businesses have their brand resonate with consumers in the same way that a ‘loser’ fears a bully. Something u just can’t escape.

Are bullies the ultimate ‘marketers’ because they are forcing a personal brand on some1?
Is Bullying a ‘national epidemic’?
Is ‘progressive’ or ‘a huge problem’?
Do we need to educate kids abt how
a) being ‘gay’ is okay
b) feeling different is natural
c) the internet isn’t ‘real’
d) all of the above

Or is all of that stuff not true?
Have u ever suffered from digital harassment / have u ever ‘trolled’ some1 hard?
Does every1 have a rocky childhood where they feel like they ‘don’t fit in’?
Are we taking kid/tween feelings ‘too seriously’?

NSFW VIDEO: Buzzband tries to go viral by making music vid where a woman has sex with a guitar

Posted: 05 Oct 2010 10:01 AM PDT


Hi
I’m the lead singer / guitarist / manager of a buzzband that you’ve never heard of.
We really want to expose you to our music.
We figured that if we make a compelling music video, you might stick around for our entire song.
By the end of the song, yall will be like “This song is awesome. This band is awesome.”

What keeps people’s attention?
Sex, violence, and free food.
Unfortunately, we can’t order you pizza to get u to listen to our music
And violence is scary
So we’ll go with sex.

How abt if we have a woman strip naked and ‘make love’ / ‘have sex’ with a guitar
She can strip naked, show off her firm body
hard nipples
beef curtains
and we will keep ur attention


Did you like our guitar rock?
It was bad ass, right?
oh, you put it on mute, and just pleasured urself?
U didn’t like our mp3?
It was too honky?

That’s chill. Did u at least ‘rub 1 out’?
Well, at least we got your attention, right?
U remember our band’s name, right? U gonna come out to our show?
Oh, that’s chill, ur gonna stay home and watch internet porn.

Guess we were a little bit naive to think that this ‘art piece’ could compete
with premium online adult content
So many niches, u can see any1 do anything
I guess ur right, this guitar thing was certainly an ‘entry level fetish’

Feeling sad
Maybe our buzzband will never break thru
Just wanted to get ur attention with a sexual meme
We wanted u as a fan 4 life
but instead, u just ejaculated in abt 2 minutes
and moved on to the next internet meme

Are ‘sexually-charged’ videos innovative?
Did u ‘get off’ to this video? Did u ‘cum’?
Did the ‘crappy guitar rock’ kill the vibes of ur ‘hard-on’?
Did this broad have ‘the perfect alternative breasts’?
Do u think she has a ‘legit career’ as a model, or as a soft core wave adult entertainment star?
Have u ever had sex with a guitar?
Did it ‘get u off’?
Do u ever feel like ur having sex when u listen 2 music?

INFOGRAPHIC: How much do indie bands get paid per live gig?

Posted: 05 Oct 2010 09:07 AM PDT


From what I have heard, ‘touring’ is the only way for a band to make money because no1 buys albums any more, and when they do, retailers basically take all of the money. U have to ‘tour hard’ and hope u sell a lot of t-shirts so that ur band makes money. It seems like some website made an INFOGRAPHIC abt how much money acts make per gig. Feel ‘jealous’ of most of these acts, because they are making so much money.

Here is the mainstream version of the ‘graphic’, which tells us boring stuff.

White people honky bands make mad bank
-Tween sensations make more than u will make over the next 3-5 years per night
-Hootie bro from Hooting at the Blowfish still makes mad bank
-People will still pay to see rock n roll bans that dress up as clowns
-U should start a Christian band

Anyways, that is boring. H8 white people music. Coulda at least thrown some rappers in there (besides Darius Rucker).

So I decided to make an INFOGRAPHIC that illustrates how which indie artists makes the most buzz dollars per gig. Not sure if this is based on any sort of real fact / analytic, but it seems ‘kewl.’ If I had to guess, ‘buzz dollars’ are some sort of unit that measures the amount of tweets, blog buzz, and high resolution photos that are generated at your shows, along with attendance numbers + t-shirt sales.

Seems like some bands make ‘tons of buzz bucks’. What bands were omitted, and how many buzz bucks do yall think they make? Does Phoenix make more buzzbucks than any1 in the world?

Do yall think this buzz chart makes sense?
Do indie bands even make money?
Does it suck 2 be a modern indie band?
Do bands deserve to make money?
Should bands make more money off ?
Would yall rather be a mainstream band or an indie band who is trying to earn ‘buzz bucks’?
Do yall know much a top tier indie band makes per show?
Is it a ‘solid’ figure, or ‘depressing’?
R u sad that J Bieb makes more money in a year than u might make in ur lifetime?
Would u rather be a billionaire in ‘real money’ or with ‘buzz dollars’?

AnCo’s frontman Deakin releases new shoe 2 make u jump higher / run faster

Posted: 05 Oct 2010 08:08 AM PDT


Deakin is one of the most/least important members of the hit band . It seems as if he released some sort ‘new shoe’ just so authentic fans can buy it and prove that they are authentic fans. A lot of people are like ‘who the eff is Deakin’ because he left the band during their most successful stretch of songwriting/touring, but then on the other end, there are some fans who are like “AnCo is shit without the Deak.”

Does any 1 know the truth abt why Deakin left ?
Does any 1 know the truth abt why Deakin is getting more involved with the band?
Does n e 1 know why Panda Bear is ‘less involved’ whenever Deakin is more involved? Bad blood?

Here is the ‘deep’ explanation behind the shoe.

Guerra hi-top by Deakin Pre-Order
Sunday, October 3, 2010

Deakin's Guerra hi-top showcases an embroidered accent influenced by the handicraft of Central American molas. Featuring a natural gum sole, black canvas upper, navy laces and a fish & wave motif, Deakin was inspired by the "awe of the ocean world" he has experienced while scuba diving.

"I realized that many of my friends are unaware of what is down there. Telling friends how psyched I was to have seen Yellow Fin Tuna, I also realized that though they have eaten Yellow Fin, [most people] have no idea what tuna look like. I thought it would be cool to represent tuna in some way that I thought looked sweet and would want to wear." — Josh Dib (Deakin)

Deakin's Guerra is the second design in the Keep + Collection, a collaborative project benefiting the Socorro Island Conservation fund, a non-profit working to preserve the unique biosphere of the Revillagigedo Archipelago off Baja California. All profits from this project will be donated to the organization with advanced sales shipping in March with a bonus cassette tape of previously unreleased music.

Sorta just want to buy these for my son for the upcoming basketball season. I’m sure all of the other kids on his team will make fun of him as they wear their Nike /FILA / LA Lights / UnderArmour shoes…but my son will definitely be the most authentic player on the court.

Do these shoes look ‘effing awesome’?
Do u think u can run faster / jump higher with these shoes?
If I buy these shoes and wear them when my buzzband plays live, will we ‘crush it’ and get ‘mad blogged abt’?
Are yall on #TeamDeak?
Is Anco better at making footwear or mp3 albums?
Should AnCo just get internships at Urby Outfitties?

Would yall rather get Aveys or Deaks?
Or are you waiting for Geos / Pandas?
