The Negrofication of Pitchfork and the Death of White Man's Indie Posted: 22 Nov 2010 05:24 PM PST
This means my modern life I wanted 2 be there the whole way I guess it makes more sense from a 'financial perspective' Just wish I was born 5 to 10 to 20 years earlier I feel like I could have had the chance to be 'Pepsi' In a world where bloggers change their last name to the name of their blog Felt like they had 'won' the indiesphere Tons of lil MP3 blogs began 2 pop up And now we are in a stagnant phase of mp3 blog innovation Who will offer a disruptive indie-blog experience November 22, 2010 I googled the name Ryan Dombal It seems like he tweeted abt the reaction 2 his article "Life is all about numbers." I never thought I'd live 2 see this day But I feel 'a little bit effed' Perhaps this will lead to a 'reactionary sect' Maybe 'white man's indie' has been killed We already know that in the 2k10s As a white skinned bro I sorta want to pull a 'reverse Michael Jackson' Somewhat confused about the decision to co-brand with Kanye West I thought Pitchfork was a place for white skinned people 2 chill It takes a socially transcendent moment to remind us what makes life worth living [link] Really don't care abt Kanye West Today is not abt Kanye West 'making a bold decision' Taking time 2 celebrate Pitchfork.com's blogzine career Back in the day But today (sorta wonder if they should get the rights to a 10.0 sponsored by a brand) 10.0 Do u think this 10.0 will 'revitalize' Pitchfork's brand? |
BREAKING: Cut Copy releases another new mp3. Is 2k11 finally here? Posted: 22 Nov 2010 01:14 PM PST
STREAM: Is this already 'the best song of 2k11'?
Do u <3 Cut Copy? |
Gorillaz covers the XX, sounds way better than the XX Posted: 22 Nov 2010 12:23 PM PST Just watched this video of the band GORILLAZ 'covering' the XX's hit song "Crystalized." I didn't know Gorillaz were 'real ppl', I thought that they were just cartoons or something but I guess not. Anyways, they have like a 6 person band, and I feel like they 'make the song sound better' because there are so many more layers and the song sounds all haunted on the lil piano. Went ahead and watched a live performance of Crystalized by the XX. I guess it 'has its charm', but feel like they need to 'go way bigger' on their next album if they want to go mainstream-er. Like multiply their touring band by 2x, have 6 members ready to 'fill up an arena' with ambientwave rock n roll. Also feel like Jamie XX should get some drum lessons just so they sound better/he doesn't get carpal tunnel. Do all mainstream bands think that the XX is 'brilliant'? //feeling// PREVIOUSLY Shakira covers the XX, totally butchers |
Vampire Weekend writes the official jingle for the Honda Civic commercial Posted: 22 Nov 2010 08:57 AM PST Recently, Tommy Hilfiger put the song "Holiday" by Vampy Weeks in2 one of their commercials [link]. It seems like Vampy Weeks 'cashed in' because they also sold the rights to the song to Honda in this new commercial for Honda Civic. The commercial is supposed 2 have that whole 'quirky'/'artsy' aesthetic going on, so I guess they wanted a song that sounded whimsical 2 mainstreamers. I wonder if Honda/Tommy Hilfiger is pissed that Vampy Weekend 'hustled them'/'two-timed' them. While many ppl Do u think this commercial will make u want to buy a Honda Civic? I guess it was a good idea that they put Vampy Weeks in their commercial so they can have an 'upscale brand' instead of being 'the official street racing car of AZNs.' [via Tokyo Drifting while ur 2 fast and 2 furious gone in 60 seconds] Did Vampire Weekend strategically compose this song to make 'mad bank'? |
BREAKING: Kanye West gets perfect 10.0 from Pitchfork. Have we finally found 'the perfect album'? Posted: 22 Nov 2010 07:39 AM PST
Did this album receive a 10.0? Anyways, the review seems like the kind of thing where they 'tried rlly hard' to make it all 'amazing' because people will look at that review until Pitchfork dies, so they wanted to really 'capture a moment' in history or something. They really try to sell the angle that we are 'watching greatness' and Kanye is one of the best of all time:
I think the whole gimmick around this album is that it is 'really bold' and he 'tried shit that no1 else would' so he is really 'an artist' or something.
Does n e 1 know what the last album 2 receive a 10.0 was? Do u think Kanye West is better than Wilco? Many alts and pitchfork experts say that this is 'really fishy' and tons of conspiracy theories are developing abt this 10.0 Conspiracy Theories Developing....-Kanye West played Pitchfork Offline [link] and had a handshake agreement with Pitchfork to receive a 10.0 from them in exchange 4 playing 4 free
Is this the album of 2k10? |
#Project_Girl re-emerges, responds to Regine, does Arcade Fire cover Posted: 21 Nov 2010 06:29 PM PST #Project_Girl is some girl who made a high school class project about HIPSTER RUNOFF [link] and ended up getting a B- as a grade because the teacher was all like 'wtf is hipsterrunoffs?' Anyways, projgirl has captured the hearts and minds of the HRO community and has become a divisive figure as she continues to generate bloggable content. It seems like she created some sort of response to Regine Chassagne who continues to 'ruin' the Arcade Fire by singing and no1 likes her voice. Do u think Win Butler should 'dump' Regine and integrate projgirl in2 his life/band? #Project_Girl then did a keut little dance to some vintage Arcade Fire song. Do u <3 her free spirited tween dreamy dance moves? Will Win Butler replace Regine with Proj Girl? |
