| M.I.A. dresses like a clown / conceptual Muslim woman Posted: 17 Oct 2010 02:22 PM PDT 
Not sure what the eff M.I.A. is trying to do. Seems like she still thinks people are going to buy her album even though she didn't write a song that was as good as "Paper Planes" so she keeps promoting her personal brand by wearing zany ass outfits. Not sure if she purchased this clown outfit via a custom designer or via the Halloween rack at WalMart. Wish she would stop trying to be all conceptual and just 'ride the slutwave', show off a lil bit more skin.
Women in music only really get my attention if they have a 'sick bod' or if they have a smokey voice [via Feist]. Not sure who invited M.I.A. to perform/walk the 'red carpet.' This photo was apparently taken at some awards show that no1 has heard of, so it is sorta like the equivalent of a D-list actor going to the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards and acting like they have 2 'bring their A-game.' Guess u gotta hand it to her for 'getting noticed' even though she is 10% as 'mainstream famous' as the rest of the people there. She also wore another outfit that was meant to be a bloggable meme. Why did she dress like a conceptual Muslim woman? Is she trying to 'make a point' or something? Is she trying to be a 'walking billboard' that promotes her album?
Would it be possible for her to embed a hyperlink to 'buy her album off iTunes' on her zany dress?
Do u think M.I.A.'s husband made her 'cover up' so no1 else would 'steal her'?
Does M.I.A. look sexie?
Should she get a part time job as a 'birthday party clown'? Can she create balloon animals + hats?
Should M.I.A. be 'exported' 2 the Muslim world so she can't express herself?
R u sooo tired of M.I.A.?
Can her career 'rebound' or is she effed?
Is M.I.A. the most annoying female in indie music?
Does M.I.A. have any actual fans of her music, or is every1 sorta just looking at her giggling?
Does M.I.A. look like a clown / ninja / buzzband trying 2 hard to turn her personal brand in2 a meme / Muslim woman / slutwaver / __________? |
| Protecting myself from society's toxic vibes [via gas mask] Posted: 17 Oct 2010 01:27 PM PDT 
Every day, I walk around
See so many disgusting effing faces on the street
Going to their 9-5 jobs
Raising families
Watching TV shows to make them feel connected 2 society
If only they knew
that they were not just mainstreamers
they were lamestreamers
succumbing to society's trends / interests / pressures When I am around too much lamestream culture
I must protect myself from toxic vibes
This uniform is not 4 the sake of personal branding
I wear this gas mask
2 stay alive in our toxic ass society I live in the metaphorical darkness
emerging at night
2 connect with a group of like-minded people
We meet in a safe, dark environment
which has been aesthetically treated to
keep us safe
keep us thriving No, I'm not just a bro who recently saw the hit film Trilogy 'The Matrix'
I am not a dude who JOs to anime / hentai porn on the reg
I am not 1 of those dudes who is obsessed with Japan
I am not just another 1990s gothwave bro who never grew up
I may or may not be the most authentic alt on the planet Gas Mask Bro Techno house rave music culture
Existentialism absurdism green post-societal apocalyptic wave lifestyles
This is my life Mainstreamers will 1 day die [via their God rapturing their asses]
But I will live 4ever
escaping with my bros who participate in my relevant counter-culture lifestyle
What do u do 2 keep urself save from lamestreamers?
Is the gas mask going to be a relevant trend in 2k12?
Will the world end in 2k12, or just the mainstream world?
Does society have harsh toxic vibes? |

| The XX responds to AnCo, creates their own shoe Posted: 17 Oct 2010 10:59 AM PDT 
Recently, the popular band Animal Collective released their own custom shoes, trying to take the concept of 'band merch' 2 the next level. [link]. It seems like the XX has responded, wanting 2 say to AnCo 'hey--we're way more popular and authentic than yall, yall. Our shoes effing kill it. They match our aesthetic, don't look like doodles, and include our sweet ass X logo. Bet yall wish u had a logo. See u in buzzband hell, bitches.' Not sure if there is an actual rivalry between these bands, but seems like there should be due to the USA vs UK issues.
I am not sure if these were actually designed by the XX or if they were just made by a crazy fan. Seems like because there are Xes all over them, they have to be official XX shoes. What do yall think?
If I buy these shoes, will they make my feet more buzzworthy?
Will they help me to write hit buzztunes that add 2.4 points to my p4k score?
Are these 'dark' enough to match the XX brand? They seem pretty alt. I feel like the Jamie XX drummer dude probably wears the high top ones on stage when he is tappy tapping on his drum pad.
Should all indie bands release sneakers, kinda like how athletes release shoes?
Which buzzband do u hope makes sneakers next?
Are the XX shoes better than the AnCo shoes?
Can u put an "X" on anything and call it 'the official XX ________'?
Do u think these shoes are comfy ? Can u run a marathon in them?
Will there be an #indie_shoe_war in 2k11?
Will bands start to release shoes that are more profitable than albums? |
