George W. Bush is the former President of the United States from before Obama took over and gave every1 "HOPE." He was tearing shit up in Iraq, Afghanistan, and kicking terrorist ass all over the world. Now Obama effed our economy, and we are 'picking up the pieces.'
Anyways, George Dubbies has been chilling hard, but is about to 'cash in' on a sick ass book deal/tour that is going to make him tons of money. In order to 'be relevant', his consultants probably told him not just to talk about 'serious stuff' like how he felt when 9-11 went down, but also stuff that blogs will talk abt, like "that 1 time Kanye West called u a bigot racist."
Remember when Kanye West was still learning how to make bloggable memes/be controversial, and he said "George Bush doesn't care abt black people" after Katrina went down? It seems like George Bush took some time to respond now that Katrina is over because the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl.
He called me a racist … And I didn't appreciate it then. I don't appreciate it now. It's one thing to say, "I don't appreciate the way he's handled his business." It's another thing to say, "This man's a racist." I resent it, it's not true.
It seems like George W. Bush is probs angry because he 'actually does h8 black ppl' but doesn't want ppl to think he h8s every race. I'll bet he has a few Mexi bros, some chill AZNs, and even some people from Europe who arent' American blooded white. I give him props for accepting that he doesn't like Kanye
Do yall remember Condolleezza Rice? Do yall think George W. Bush is a racist? Does he h8 or <3 black ppl? Do yall remember that time he vibed out with that Mexi bro, but the mexi bro let him down?
Do all old white men in power secretly want to 'bring back slavery' and pass a law that outlaws the rap genre? Do u think Kanye West is better at making memes now than he was in 2k5? Is it sillie when Presidents waste their time talking abt Kanye West? Should they be curing cancer, fighting terrorists, and putting computers in schools that poor ppl attend? Has George W. Bush had the ultimate chillwave post-Presidency life? Now that George W. Bush is gone, do u think he was 'way more chill'/'bad ass' than ppl gave him credit 4? R u pissed that the Republicans / Tea Party bros 'stole the House'? Is America going 2 end soon?
Bethany Cosentino, AKA Best Coast is a 2k9 female buzzband that has received mad blog coverage in 2k9. Becoming a buzzband isn't just a walk in the park where every1 says u r awesome. There's haters. There's cyberbullying blogs. There's mean Brononymous commenters. U live every day in fear of a low Pitchfork score. Ppl come 2 ur concert just to heckle u. People tweet mean shit 2 u on twitter all of the time. No1 sees u as a person anymore, just as a buzzband. U can't escape from the dark side of buzzband life, no matter how buzzworthy ur band is.
It seems like Bethany has 'reached her breaking point.' She posted an emotional blog post entitled "Real Talk."
I want to say something. I have wanted to say this for a long time, but in all honesty, I haven't been brave enough.
Words hurt. No matter where they come from. Please next time you say something hurtful about someone, consider how you would feel if the same things were said about you. I understand that negative criticism is a part of my job, but honestly sometimes I can not comprehend how cruel and immature people can be. I would like to stand up for every person who has ever been bullied, or made fun of and remind YOU to never allow what anyone says to ever make YOU feel bad about yourself. To every single person who reads this blog--please believe in who you are and always do whatever you want to do, no matter who tries to put you down. You can honestly be anything you want to be, and don't EVER let anyone tell you otherwise. Life is too fucking short to let the assholes ruin it, and that is a lesson I am currently learning.
I love you guys, Bethany
Do u know who was mean to Bethany? Did Bethany give u hope? Do u think she should film an #itgetsbetter vlog, not for gay ppl, but for people in buzzbands? Do u feel inspired? Do yall know what ass holes have been ruining Best Coast's life?
Do u think Best Coast would be happy 2 know that 2 girls went as her 4 Halloween?
Has Carles been mean 2 Best Coast? Should he apologize? Do yall remember the time she said HIPSTER RUNOFF could 'go eat a dick'? [link] Did Carles steal Bethany's weed? [link] Is Carles a cyberbully? Is the blogosphere 2 mean 2 female buzzbands? Has the blogosphere ever been 'meaner' to an artist? MGMT? Are artists regular human beings, or do they get special treatment? R u on #TeamBethany?
Hi I'm Jonsi The Icelandic frontman of the popular meaningful post-instrumental wave band The Sigur Ros
Have u heard of us? We Iceland's #2 export (behind Bjork) Unfortunately we don't have much else to offer humanity (at least economically) so our country is swirling down the shitter.
Anyways.... I'm here in American lands to play some music gonna make some cash, bring it back to Iceland invest in a 'School for the Performing Arts' as a strategy 2 save our country
WTF is that =w= symbol above the stage? It must be some weird American logo Maybe the name of this festival is "EQUALS DOUBLE-U EQUALS" Just gonna play my show, crush it, not worry abt it
Who the eff is this Icelandic bro singing in meaningful yelps? Don't get me wrong, I feel hella inspired right now but at the same time, thought i was gonna get to vibe out to Weezer
Just trying to 'do me' be Jonsi Crush it with emotional, powerful vibes
Why do ppl keep asking me to play songs off "Pinkterton" , "The Blue Album" and "The Green Album"? Why do ppl keep requesting the song "Island in the Sun"? I am s00 confused. I'm Jonsi I'm from Iceland I'm not the American band the Weezers Stop making the 'Weezer Hand symbol' at me. Leave me alone Let me play my songs from a distant land that will inspire u to recycle and embrace positive bisexual waves Transcend society, Iceland style come run in a field with me and giggle and love life
Did yall <3 the Jonsi album? Do u think Weezer should have had some respect, and hidden that shit behind a curtain or something? Does the =w= sign 'kill it'? Should all bands have a huge logo behind them when they play? Was it 'disrespectful' to Jonsi's vibes to have the Weezer logo behind him? Should they have waited til it was removed 2 play? What_Would_Bjork_Do? [via Iceland] What would u do to save the Icelandic economy? Maybe build a few casinos?
Cut Copy seems to have 'announced' new album art for their upcoming hit album ZONOSCAPE. Many indie industry experts see this as 'the first big album of 2k11', a year that is supposed to help us 'recover' from the poopfest that 2k10 was. In a previous post [link], HIPSTER RUNOFF claimed that the new Cut Copy MP3 "Where I'm Going" was the first mp3 of 2k11, even though it was released in July of 2k10.
It seems like based on their album art they are 'fully embracing' the concept of the indie cleansing that must take place in order 2 wipe away the terrible memory of 2k10. We have 2 start over. We have to let the Lord Saviour God Jesus Christ of Indie wipe away our sins [via apocalypse].
2k11 will be a new beginning Washing away buildings in our relevant indie city we must start anew Cut Copy wants us 2 put our trust in2 them 2 save us from 2k10 and all of the negative vibes unfulfilled promises [via TOMBOY] that fell thru
Sad about 2k10 but 2k11 is just around the corner
/////FULL OF HOPE ////HOPE I AM NOT FULL OF FALSE HOPE ////AFRAID OF BEING HURT
R u excited for 2k11? Was 2k10 overrated or underrated? Do u hope a huge apocalyptic flood / tsunami / tidal wave /earthquake / meteor 'washes away' everything we knew abt the indie blogosphere scene pre-2k11? Is Cut Copy going to 'crush it' or 'pull a MGMT'? Which 2k11 plausible album release are u looking forward 2 the most?
Voting is a process by which u go 2 some lil booth and u say 'I want this bro 2 be in charge' and then if enough ppl do the same, then that person is in charge. From what I have read in history classes, they invented this so that a 'King' wouldn't rule the nation and ride dictator waves, making people give him all their money and he would steal all of the hot women and keep them in a sex dungeon.
Anyways, voting can be kinda lame, because sometimes ur candidate will lose. In addition, most of the candidates are old ass white men who are basically lamestreamers that just eat a lot of red meat. Even when the candidates are ethnic, it is like they have white souls. Sorta wish u could actually vote 4 people who u care abt. It seems like some alt decided to vote for both Carles (author and editor and blogger of HIPSTER RUNOFF) and Tao Lin (author of some alt books). Wonder if this was a waste of a vote.
Do u think Carles can lead or country 2 better places? Would Carles make a great leader? Do u think u could manage humans like u manage a blog?
Do u think it was a bigger waste 2 vote for WAVVES, Best Coast, and Snacks the Cat? Who would make the best leader? Snacks or Carles? WAVVES or Bethany? Tao Lin or Barry Obama?
Did this person 'disgrace' of the political process? Is writing in a sillie vote 'just 2 be funnie' totally lame, or does it mean u transcend society? Should u email this picture to 1 of the other people on the ballot just to let them know that what they are running 4 is 'totally worthless'? Who do u want 2 be America's leaders? Would u vote 4 Carles if he ran 4 office? Did u write in any1 funnie / alt when u voted, or is voting 'a waste of time and energy because u can't change anything by voting'?
Remember when Kanye West was still learning how to make bloggable memes/be controversial, and he said "George Bush doesn't care abt black people" after Katrina went down? It seems like George Bush took some time to respond now that Katrina is over because the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl.
