Chloe Sevigny is known as one of the most authentic alternative actresses/altbaguettes in the entire world right now. DJ Pauly D is a filthy guido who 'got famous' after the success of the hit television show Jersey Shore. Now he is a high-priced DJ who probably makes 'mad bank' [via club owners with 2 much money 2 waste].

It seems like they chilled out 2gether at a New York Knicks basketball game. Not sure if they are dating, or if she is probably just 'down 2 fuck' [via guido fantasies]. Anyways, it is 'great blog fodder' so u can just say that they were 'canoodling' and let every1 be all like 'omg can't believe this happened. w0rldz are t0tally c0lliding.'

Do u think they are 'dating'?
Do they have 'mad chemistry'?

Does Pauly D 'get' why Chloe is 'mad hot' in an alt kind of way?
Do all white women just want to be penetrated by African or guidos?

Wonder what they talked abt. Maybe they were like "Amare Stoudamire is way better than Pattie Ewings."

R u gonna turn guido so that u can d8 Chloe Sevigny?
Is Pauly D dating Chloe Sevigny just 2 get alternative credibility in the DJ scene?
Is Chloe Seviggers just d8ing this guido 2 get more mainstream press?
Is Pauly D a 'killer DJ' [via SICK breakdowns]?
Do u think their relaish will last?
Are the Knicks 'for real' or will they just get eliminated by the Celtics / Heat / Magic / Bulls?
Who will win the NBA Championship?
Are Knicks games 'more alt' than Lakers games [via courtside celebs]?

VIDEO: Bjork does karaoke, covers Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

I'm not sure why Bjork was hanging out at a local karaoke bar, but she must really have hit 'rock bottom' to have ended up in a Korean BYOB joint singing "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division.

No idea if she has an audience, or if she is 'no longer creative' and can no longer write her own songs, so she is stuck singing other ppls' songs. Feel kinda bad for her. I feel like we are watching a washed up boxer trying to 'make a comeback' even though they gained 40 lbs and no longer have the skills of their youth.

Wonder if her voice is 'so unique' that she actually 'ruined the original song.' Feel like maybe she is s00o0 crazie that she had to talk to Ian Curtis's dead soul in order to 'get permission 2 sing his song.'

It was actually kinda a funny event, because some dude who thought Bjork was just a crazy old bag lady went on right after her, and sang the same song just to 'show her how it's really done.'

</embed>

Do u think Bjork 'crushed it' or did her voice 'ruin' the performance?
Do u think she might as well have 'taken a poop' on Ian Curtis' grave?
Do u think the bro who performed after Bjork 'crushed it'?
Have u ever seen some1 do Bjork karaoke?

</embed>

Do u think Bjork can remain relevant in2 the new decade, or will she end up playing 4 dying alts in karaoke bars across the world?
Was Joy Division overrated [via death]?
Is New Order way better than Joy Division?

Is the new Best Coast + WAVVES album art 'a disgrace'?

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 12:47 PM PST


Best Coast and WAVVES are 'going out on tour' 2gether, and I think a new indie gimmick is to 'release a limited edition split 7" vinyl that fans can only purchase on the tour. "Summer Is Forever" is the title, but this isn't meant 2 be a standard 'this is a kewl new album' informative blog post. Instead, this is a chance 2 write a 'reaction piece' to the disgraceful album art doodling aesthetic.

Feel kinda 'grossed out' by the design of the album art. I really wanted to 'give them a chance' to 'rebrand' in 2k11, but this is just plain 'disgraceful.' Aliens. Marijuana. Some cat puking/vomiting all over the place.

This is a flat out disgrace.

I expect this kind of album art/behavior from WAVVES, but not from Bethany...

I am legitimately worried about Snacks the Cat. They clearly think it is common 4 cats 2 throw up, and that is definitely a sign of a cat with serious health problems, or a cat who doesn't have proper cat nutrition. I am srsly more worried now than evr abt the health of Snacks. :-(

I think it might be time to 'cut the cord' after this tour if Bethany wants 2 reach her full mindie potential.

Is WAVVES 'holding back' Bethany?
Do u think Bethany needs to distance her brand from her 'stoner boyfriend'?
R u worried that Snacks throws up everywhere?
What does it mean when cats throw up?
Does Best Coast need 2 hire a new image consultant 4 her next album?
R u tired of aliens stealing all of ur dank and feeding ur cat poison?

Where have all the Chili's gone?

It makes me sad
When the suburbs expand
and old sections of 1st wave suburbia
are no longer relevant
no long sustainable

The architecture becomes outdated
Consumers want 'trendier' parts of the city 2 drive their cars 2
Franchise locations can no longer attract
Shops/stores/restaurants/everything closes down

Sometimes my life feels like an empty 1980s mall
in the 2010s
Wishing I could be an upscale modern outdoor gimmicky mall
in the relevant area of suburbia

But I am stuck in 'the ass crack' of the suburbs
2 many apartments, 2 many minorities in the area now
Everything has gone 2 shit

Where have all the Chili's gone?
Where have all the Chili's gone?

I remember when I was young
This area used to be different
It was a 'trendy' part of the suburbs
I was proud 2 call it home

But now, all of the local businesses are rlly shitty
and I have to drive another 5 miles to get to the relevant areas of suburbia

Where have all the southwestern egg rolls gone?

Even my favourite Johnny Carino's closed down

This used 2 be where I would buy groceries,
but now some new wave Christian church turned it in2 a church

This vacant shopping center was turned in2 a charter school
4 gifted and talented kids
(who want to go 2 school in an old super market)

Where have all the Chili's gone?

Sometimes I feel sad that I can't be a part of the 'new development'
Cutting edge movie theatres
New franchise restaurants
Huge outdoor stores
Lowe's and Home Depots 2 serve as 'refueling stations' for contractors
doing work on new regions of suburbia

Makes me sad
Living on the inskirts of suburbia
Development has moved beyond us
Wishing I could be a rich tween who took immense pride in living in the most relevant part of suburbia
Basking in the riches of the uppermiddle class lifestyle

The Chili's by my house relocated to a newer part of suburbia
and I'm not sure how 2 handle it

Where have all the The Suburbs gone?
there's more than this
There's more than this
Fuddruckers, Arby's, Panera Bread
Chili's, Bennigans, TGIFriday's
Red Robin, Ruby Tuesday, Boston Market
I want u 2 be close 2 me
so I don't have 2 cook healthy food 4 my family
Where have all the Chili's gone?

Sometimes u just want more
than 31 flavors
so u go 2 a place with a cold stone marble slab
where they mix in ur toppings

-the Arcade Fire

Do u feel sad when u drive thru outdated parts of suburbia?
Are there any vacant lots in ur suburban area that have been taken over by weird businesses/entities/religious groups?
Is suburbia 'expanding' 2 much?
Should we demolish the 'dead' parts of suburbia before continuing 2 expand?
If you were an impressionable consumer-wave tween, would u rather live in 'the ass crack' of suburbia or 'the relevant, new part of suburbia', 'right next to the mall/movie theatres'?
Have 'apartments' ruined suburbia [via low cost housing for drug users, minorities, and other ppl who are stressing the natural order of franchise restaurants]?

Vinyl Record sales have reached record highs

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 09:11 AM PST

Link: http://perpetua.tumblr.com/post/2627711579


From what I have read on the internet, vinyl sales 'surged' in 2k10, since people no longer buy CDs, but they want a more authentic experience than just 'purchasing an mp3 from the internet.' Some people are really in denial abt the future of the music industry, so they are just trying their best to 'be authentic' by purchasing bulky packaging + outdated technology 2 play on their outdated record player just so they can be all like "U can really tell the difference, this sounds amazing!"

Anyways, bc of those types of cool dads with too much money, vinyl record sales are 'at an all time high' or something like that.

Though overall album sales dropped 13 percent in 2010, sales of vinyl increased by 14 percent over the previous year, with around 2.8 million units sold. This is a new record for vinyl sales since 1991, when the format had all but disappeared in the wake of the CD boom, according to a report released yesterday by Nielsen SoundScan.

This really isn't a big deal if u 'look at the numbers' because it is just cool dad music, mainstream indie, and boring old bands like The Beatles and Michael Jackson. People probably thought they were 'purchasing a collector's item' or something.

Top Ten Vinyl Albums, 1/4/2010 - 1/2/2011
1. The Beatles Abbey Road (35,000)
2. Arcade Fire The Suburbs (18,800)
3. Black Keys Brothers (18,400)
4. Vampire Weekend Contra (15,000)
5. Michael Jackson Thriller (14,200)
6. The National High Violet (13,600)
7. Beach House Teen Dream (13,000)
8. Jimi Hendrix Experience Valleys of Neptune (11,400)
9. Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon (10,600)
10. the xx xx (10,200)

Top Ten Vinyl Artists, 1/4/2010 - 1/2/2011
1. The Beatles (36,700)
2. Black Keys (36,000)
3. Radiohead (30,500)
4. Arcade Fire (28,600)
5. Jimi Hendrix (26,400)
6. The National (24,600)
7. Pavement (24,200)
8. Vampire Weekend (21,900)
9. Metallica (20,000)
10. Bob Dylan (17,000)

Are the Black Keys the ultimate cool dad band?
Are the Beatles 'overrated'?
Did people just buy Beatles + MJ albums to use as 'posters' in their roomes?
Should indie record labels pointlessly sink tons of funds into pressing vinyl records instead of releasing CDs + MP3s 2 the general public?
Can some1 do some research on 'cassette sales' 'booming' in '2k12'?
Do these stats mean anything?
Will there be enough mainstream indie bands who release vinyl records in 2k11 to keep this trend moving upwards?
How many vinyl records were sold in 1977/some other random year b4 8-tracks/cassettes/mini-disc players existed??

Sufjan Stevens makes a documentary abt reuniting with his deadbeat dad

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 08:40 AM PST

</embed>

I just saw this trailer for a new Sufjan Stevens documentary called Crooked River. Apparently, Sufjan Stevens has a 'childhood friend' named Kaleo La Belle who made a documentary abt Sufjan going back 2 visit his 'deadbeat dad' who has apparently inspired tons of dark feelings within Sufjy and his brother Marzuki. Maybe they h8 him because he named his kids "Sufjan" and "Marzuki."

The film, directed by childhood friend La Belle, stars Sufjan and his brother Marzuki as they take a trip from New York to Michigan to see their father who, at the time of filming in 2006, they haven’t seen in years.

I wonder what it is like 2 show up 2 see ur dad who u had broken ties with, and u have a video camera, and ur like "Nah dad it's cool. I'm just shooting an indie documentary abt emotions and feelings, so you have to understand that as an artist, I am making this 4 all of humanity, not just u + me."

Feel like Sufjan should thank his dad 4 bringing so much pain and darkness in2 his life so that Sufjan could be inspired to write tons of hit albums and mp3s. If meeting his dad helped him to write the album "The Age of Adz", then I kinda wish that he had never met him so he didn't make an electro album and still made vulnerable ass banjo songs.

Do u want to see the Sufjan documentary?
Do u think this filmmaker is 'milking' Sufjan's indie cred just to advance his own career?
Do u want to see this documentary, or do u think they just end up driving to some random shack in Northern Michigan?
Is this some sort of psychological thriller [via Catfish]?

</embed>

Do u have a strained relationship with ur mother/father?
Does Sufjan look like an indie hunk in this documentary?

Based on the preview, do u think this is just a documentary abt Sufjan getting blazed and playing video games?
Do u think u could beat Sufjy at video games?

Lamestreamers on Facebook wet their panties over how 'hot' Jared Leto is

Posted: 09 Jan 2011 05:49 PM PST


Facebook is a place where ppl chill out and have fun and talk about life, love, buzzbands and other relevant topics. Every user has the ability to create his or her own 'social network' where you can connect + communicate with ppl from the past.

It seems like some females choose to talk abt 'hot bros.' In this conversation, 2 lamestreamers talk abt 'how hot' Jared Leto is.

First some girl is like "mmmmmmmm.... Jared. Fucking. Leto. I wanna suck his peen and let him taste my vajeng."

then another girl comes along and is like "Awww helll yeeeah. He is God. I want 2 start a religion called Letoianity where every1 has 2 'beat off' 2 Jared Leto 3x per day."

Then the first girl is like "Can't even explain how much I <3 JarLet."

Then the other Letostreamer is like "I just saw the video for Hurricane and came so many times during it."

30 Seconds to Mars "HURRICANE" (Uncensored) from Rui Delgado on Vimeo.

Then another streamer is like, "I tried 2 watch it but my parents can't afford hi-speed internet but I still <3 him and want him 2 take my virginity."

and then the other 1 is like "I've been in2 Jared Leto since Fight Club. Really think we'll end up 2gether."

Finally, one streamer is like "Oh shit. Jared Leto is 39 fucking years old? Dear lord, that is an old ass man. That's as old as my dad." Not so sexy any more. Kinda turned off."

******
Is Jared Leto 'totally sexy'?
Do u think his 39 year old peen would make u happy?
Is Jared Leto very healthy for a 40 year old man?
Why do girls think Jared Leto is s000 haute?

Did Jared Leto throw away a promising Brad Pitt-like career just to make crappy music in his buzzband?
