Just watched Sufjan Stevens on Jimmy Fallon. Needless 2 say... not sure if he was really that great on Fallon.

Not sure about his who electro bro wardrobe gimmick. I think the song sounded 'decent' maybe but not sure about this whole neon liberation movement. Feel like if he wants to really be as 'flamboyant' as the dude from the Scissor Sisters, he should just take his shirt off/get naked-er/write dancier music.

Worried that he brainwashed his band. Feel like they have some sort of 'cult' mentality. I think St Vincent used to be in his backing band, so maybe they think they are automatically going 2 become the next St Vincey if they 'pay their dues.

Not sure what instrument this is, but Sufjan hired an AZN bro 2 play it. Can't confirm that the AZN bro is in their traveling band.

Oh Sufjy.... Not sure abt u any more... Wish u just came out and crushed it with a banjo

Should I go to my local Office Depot / Staples / office supplies store 2 purchase a Sufjan Stevens Personal Branding Kit [via a roll of neon/glow in the dark tape]?

How do u feel about Sufjan Stevens' album cycle personal brand?
Should he 'commit' 2 it more, or does he need 2 'get back 2 his roots'?
Did Sufjy 'crush it' on Fallon or was his album 2 weak 4 him 2 even stand a chance?
R u worried abt Sufjy?
Is Jimmy Fallon the alt-est talk show 4 a buzzband 2 play, or is The TBS Conans #1 now?

Some alt broad tries to talk to the XX and tells them "YALL WERE GREAT ON FALLON"

Salem gets a 'profile piece' in GUYLON Magazine

Salem is a 2k10 rapegaze buzzband that sings about things like doing drugs, getting dark, suicide, choking ppl out, and have very intense sexual experience where u wake up the next morning and ur all like 'who am I? Was that really my spirit? Am I post-hornie?' Anyways, they are going kinda 'indie mainstream' and I'm not sure if it is because they are 'brilliant' or if it is bc ppl h8 them

Here is the 'article.' I am not sure if it even says anything notable, they are probably just like 'they are s000 dark yall, but getting tons of buzz. You oughtta check em out!' because that is basically what every magazine says about every band.

Jack was like "Listen. We're dark, okay? But we're also happie sometimes. Stop calling us rapegaze, yall!"

"We're all very sensitive people and there's a lot we've gone through," says Donaghue, sporting white soccer shorts, and a pendant on his bre chest. "Have we been in really dark places, or done drugs? Have we also been in really happy places? I feel no interest in fulfilling an image we really didn't try and put out. People get disappointed by the world and you have expectations when you're young. I think that transition was really hard for us, and it still is."

Sorta wanna wear white soccer shorts with Jackie <3 <3 <3

Do yall <3 Salem or do u h8 them?
Are they 'too dark' 4 u?
Does any1 read GUYLON Magazine?
Do u think Salem is too dark for a profile in "Nylon for Bitches Magazine"?
Do yall <3 the Nylon brand?
Are magazines gonna die?
Will Salem land on the cover of Rolling Stone in 2k11?
Should Salem produce the next Madonna album?

Anyways, here is a video of QT JackJack rapping at South-Bi

Best Coast gets effed up on stage while binge drinking Four Loko

Best Coast had a show with the popular 2k11 buzzband Cults, and it seems like they 'got crunk' and drank tons of Four Loko before it was banned because it kills college students. Not sure how hard I vibe to the Four Loko wave bc when I wanna 'get retarded' I usually just ride the rubbing alcohol wave with a lil bit of Kool Aid mixed in, but I think this was probably a good meme to throw down 2 make ppl 'connect with her brand.'

Seems like she was all 'lets partie yall.'

Seems like she got so 'effed up' that she thought that she was a 'fan' and purchased one of her own shirts at the merch table

Then she kicked her drummer out of the band and was like "I'm the effing Best Coast. Ur all fired! Even u 2 AZN Bro other dude."

Worried abt Besty...
Wonder if she will make another album in 2k11 or if she is just going to keep touring and then make another album in 2k12.
R u gonna miss Besty in 2k11 or are u ready for some new buzz/memes?
Do u think she set a band example for alts bc now they are gonna think that drinking Four Loko will make them a buzzband?
Did yall 'ironically' celebrate the 'death of Four Loko' or is that more of a 'lamestreamer' thing to do, like ppl who were really into 'bros icing bros'?

Do u think Besty has 'outgrown' dank and is moving on to alcoholic energy drinks? How will this impact her music?
