HIPSTER RUNOFF

HIPSTER RUNOFF


Lamestreamers on facebook argue abt who is Album of the Year

Posted: 17 Nov 2010 05:33 PM PST


Lamestreamers, lamestreamers everywhere...
but not a band to buzz

...sigh...
more lamestreamers
confronting important indie issues
but having 'no effing clue' abt
what is authentic/relevant
and what is just another poop poopy poop in the toilet that is the blogosphere

...sigh...
..here we go again...

First some bro is all like "HAVE U HEARD THE VAMPY WEEKS. I JUST DISCOVERED THEM ON SHAZAMS. ALBUM OF THE YEAR, BITCHES!"

Then some1 is all like 'hell naw. Phoenix is the album of 2k10. Eff Vampy Weeks.'

Then the bro comes back all like "Pshhhh. Phoenix is from 2k9 u effing idiot. How behind the times r u? Get on board with Vampy Weeks--I think ur a contra."

Then Phoenix bro is all like "Yeah I know it is from 2k9, but it is still the album of the year."

Then Vampy wEeks bro is like "#TeamContra."

Then a completely totally alt dude comes out of nowhere and says "LISTEN 2 BEST COAST. ALBUM OF THE YEAR. BETTER THAN PHOENIX + VAMPY WEEKS PUT 2GTHR"

Then Vampy Weeks bro is all like "THAT BAND SUX BECAUSE THEY ARE A GIRLY GIRL BAND. #TEAMVAMPY4EVR YALL."

*****
Do u agree with these bros?
Is Phoenix the album of the year?
Did Phoenix come out in 2k8 or 2k9?
Will Vampy Weeks win Album of the Year?
Will Best Coast win 'Meme Maker' of the year?
Do lamestreamers know anything abt music/buzzbands?
Who is the ultimate lamestreamer indie band?

Zooey Deschanel and Natalie Portman show off their titties in a new indie movie 2gthr

Posted: 17 Nov 2010 11:06 AM PST

Zooey Deschanel is an indie film actress and musician singer lady from the hit band "Him and She." Natalie Portman is the 'poster-child' of the 2k0s indie film movement, but she was also in mainstream stuff like Star Wars and maybe the Matrix, I think. Anyways, it seems like they 'teamed up' to be in one of those 'high budget comedies.' I think most blogs will 'scoop' this movie as starring Danny McBride (Eastbound and Down) and James Franco (he's s00 funnie and post-modern and dreamy), but I don't rlly care abt them.

Really focused on Zooey D + Nat Ports. Don't really care if this movie is 'funnie' or if it 'recaptures the romantically zany spirit of the Princess Bride.' Just want to know if Zooey Deschanel or Natalie Portman 'get naked' in this film.

Wondering where Zooey got those 'huge tits.' I have analyzed her build before, and she is rlly skinny [via crazy coke eyes]. Wonder if the got implants for this role, or if there is some sort of Hollywood wonder bra technology that she is utilizing. Wonder if Ben Gibbard will be like 'keep them big' or if he likes her bite sized breasts.

Also saw that Natalie Portman strips half naked into some sort of thong.

Hopefully she does a lil bit of 'full frontal' for this role.

I remember Natalie Portman got naked in that one Wes Anderson short film. Really coulda gone for a 'fuck scene' in Garden State, except Zach Braff wouldn't really be believable as a dude who is 'pounding' a piece of a$$ cuz he was so emo.

Also one time Zooey Deschanel released a 'sex tape' but no1 knows if it was rlly her [link]

R u 'excited' abt this movie?
Does this movie look 'really hilarious'?
Should u have a 'movie night' with ur bros 2 'smoke dank' and watch this comedy?
Will Zooey Deschanel thrive in this role, or should she have dyed her hair blonde?
Maybe they should have acquired a 'real blonde'?
Will Zooey Deschanel 'dump' Ben Gibbard 2 help her career by dating James Franco bc he is famous-er than Ben Gibby?

Do u think Nat Port + Zooey D would be the ultimate indie female sandwich, or would u go with
a) Regine + Alice Glass
b) Alice Glass + Best Coast
c) the drummer from Best Coast + Bethany
d) the entire band SALEM
e) Regine + miscellaneous Arcade Fire member
f) Katy Perry and Lady Gaga
g) Choose ur own combo

Some band remixes rape gaze legends SALEM

Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:36 AM PST


I am not sure whether or not Salem is 'good' or if ppl even like them, but when I blog abt them, I feel like I am exploring some sort of 'darker side' of me that I want to get more in touch with. Also just think they look rlly 'dark' in this picture, so thought it would be chill 2 post it so that I could get more 'goth-indie' hits from darkwave bros.

Anyways, some band remixed some Salem song. Haven't heard the original/can't really tell the difference between a lot of Salem songs, but I really dig their rapegazey brand. Need to see them live soon so I can really see what they are all about/if their shows are rlly boring, or possibly an 'erotic fuckfest.'

[MP3]

Salem Asia (Jokers of the Scene Remix)

Really can't tell if this song is even bloggable.
Might have just posted this 2 say:
-Jack is haute
-Salem is a rape gaze band
-I feel 'dark' [via wearing black clothes]
-I am so dark that I transcend the concept of hetero _ homo sexuality
-to embed this video that I always embed of Jack bro rapping at SXSW

Oh Salem...
I don't know what it is abt u...
but u have my attn
Can't tell if ur 'amazing'
or if u 'completely suck'
Or if I am really turned on by yall
or repulsed

but u have me on the edge of my seat
with a mild erection
and i want to explore
the dark side of 'buzzbands' with u

Do u <3 Salem?
Is their music 'good' or 'bullshit'?
R u turned on by Jack, the girl, or 'the other dude'?
Who is the keutest member of the Salems?
Do u think Salem is the next MGMT/ Pashy Pit?

The Arcade Fire hides Regine on the drums after she ruined SNL

Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:01 AM PST

The Arcade Fire was recently on SNL, and they kinda 'tanked' because they let Regine sing [link], so they went on some other late night live talk show, and decided "Hmmmm... Guess we shouldn't let Regine sing again because even though the song is good in MP3 format, we don't want to ruin our band's brand so let's just go ahead and let Win sing a song that ppl in the UK would like.' They played "Month of May" and hid Regine in the very back on drums even though they already have a drummer. They probs told her 'We want to show off that u r a multi-instrumentalist and important building block of our band" but secretly the band was probs all like "thank godddddd she's not singing and twirling around her whips.'

Feel kinda bad for her, like they 'humiliated her.' Win seems abusive. He even made her wear a cheesy headset mic.

At least she was wearing her cute lil gold dress. wonder if she has a bunch of them, or if they just have a dry cleaning service that travels with them.

Here is 'Ready to Start.' Not really many Regine shots in these vids. Kinda pissed.

So tired of the Ginger Bro.

So tired of Win.
So tired of 'the other dudes' in the band.
So pissed they basically 'kicked out' Regine.

Can Regine play the drums 4 real?
Is it cheesy when bands have '2 drummers'?
Do bands ever really need '2 drummers'?
Is Win mean 2 Regine?
R u still crushing hard on Regine?
Is Regine 'like the wind'? [link]
Should the Arcade Fire 'kick out Regine'?
Should Regine 'go solo'?
Was it a good move by the band to 'hide' Regine so they don't lose more fans?

My parents drive a car that makes me look poor/rich/middle-class.

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 07:42 PM PST

I remember when I was a child, my parents would drive me to school most mornings, dropping me off to start my day. Even though they didn't realize it because they had 'grown up problems', there was a lot of anxiety within me abt the kind of car that they drove. A lot of ppl say u go 2 school to 'learn', but the American school system is actually a process of 'being judged' and learning how to react/evolve/thrive/fail. Most Americans know whether or not they 'fit in' with society by the end of freshman year of high school.

Even though my parents didn't really have a 'sloppy jalopy' like some of the poorest kids at school, I still felt like my parents should have probably worked harder so that they could have bought a sweet car that would have aided/enhanced my personal brand. It's sorta weird how even though ur a kid, u can still tell how 'material things' can shape ur 'social status.' Even though u r young, and have no idea how money works/how much BMWs+Mercedes+Range Rovers cost, u wish ur parents would move to a cheaper house so they could at least have a sweet ass ride.

I felt scared that my personal brand would be compromised if some1 saw me getting out of a 'poor person'/lower middle class car. Like ppl would think that I ate 'free lunch' and lived in some sort of 'crappy apartment' on the edge of town/our district. They would find out I came from a single-parent household, or that we had been on 'food stamps' until my mom got her most recent job. They would find out that my Abercrombie clothes were actually 'hand me downs'/purchased on sale/that I made my mom max out her credit card 2 purchase them.

Didn't really matter if my parents had paid off our car
Paid off our house
Had an excellent retirement / savings / college fund 4 our entire family...

Nothing says 'I'm fucking sweet + loaded'
Like getting dropped off in a sweet car
Will Smith was right
'Parents just don't understand.'

"I don't tolerate dorkiness." -lil ass hole bro

Feel ashamed of my father
for being such a 'middle class failure'
I wish he would get a sweeter job
Buy me sweeter shit
Kewl clothes, Video Games, Macbooks, Vlogging Cameras
I am more than just a spoiled tween
I am a lifestyle brand

"My dad is a fucking pussie. I am ashamed of him. The whole world treats him like shit because he is a human turd."

Nothing is sweeter than having a sweet car with kid-friendly features
Were u the kind of ass hole who made ur parents listen 2 ur selected tunes
or did u let them play their 70s/80s classic hits?

But srsly...
I am ashamed of my 'dumbass dad'
He doesn't know how to use a fucking GPS
turn on the CD player, satellite radio, the seat warmers
Really clear why he hasn't gotten a raise/promotion in 10 years
when his dumbass probably can't even figure out how 2 use the copy machine.

Look at his bald, fat ass
I swear to god
I will kill myself if I become him
I mean, let's be honest...
He drives a goddamned Toyota
I am pretty sure those are for 'middle class' ppl
no matter how u try 2 brand them.

Letting ur friends ride in the back seat with u
Have some sweet ass TV screens in the back
Escape from their lamestream parents
Who don't really 'get' why social status is important
4 forming a successful child in our modern society

Just glad my parents took the time to really 'think abt' how a kid can turn out to be 'effed' if they think they are inferior to other kids. Kids need to feel 'rich', even if they aren't. Raising a kid who thinks he/she is poor means raising a kid who doesn't believe they can achieve their dreams. Instead of seeing money as no object, they see it as a bottleneck/restraining factor in their existence.

My parents understood that they had to 'spend some money' to make sure that I was rich and able to select from the top tier of 'potential friends' at my local elementary/middle/high school.

Once again
My personal brand
is a lifestyle brand
I am 'selling myself' to all the other kids at school
They want 2 be me
They want a part of me
They want to know what my life is like
I am a unique experience/human/brand

Would give anything
to be dropped off at school
in a helicopter / airplane / submarine / time machine every day
Just want my parents to be 'richer than every1'
Want to be secure
Want my dad to 'be a man'
I want to have the #1 personal brand in my class.

I am a lil tween ass hole
Way 2 aware of material things & social status
If only I could appreciate my parents
4 putting a roof ovr my head
and filling my spoiled face with fast food

//ashamed of u dad

Is Toyota launching a 'brilliant' / 'spot on' marketing campaign, or are they 'pissing off America'?
R u afraid of having a spoiled tween who thinks too much abt 'social status'?
Did u make ur parents drop u off a block away from school because they drove a shitty car?
R u ashamed of ur parents for being 'too poor/middle class' or did it help 2 shape u / make u 'appreciate life' more?
Do u wish ur parents were rich so u never really had 2 work/take things seriously?
Is this kid a 'lil ass hole'?

Is 'the lil ass hole' the new face of Toyota?
Should I go and buy a Toyota Highlander so my tween son will stop being a spoiled lil a-hole?

Did I mention my dad is a 'complete fggt' who wears fanny packs?
So ashamed of him
Srsly not going 2 become my parents
trapped in suburbia
driving a pseudo-luxury SUV
popping out spoiled kids like myself.

I'm going 2 break the cycle
H8 SUVS, suburbia, mortgages and raising kids

PREVIOUSLY
My parents drive a car that makes me look poor.
