HIPSTER RUNOFF

HIPSTER RUNOFF


Strokes release a new MP3 that sounds like some1 dropped an iPod in a toilet

Today has been a disastrous day for the Strokes as their MP3s from their hit album "Angles" continue to leak. At first I heard this song "You're So Right" and I thought it had to be a joke because it sounds so terrible. Usually I am pretty chill, and I am 'rooting for any1 to save 2k11', but at the same time, u have to start wondering if the Strokes have flopped hard... At first I thought it was a really bad Panda Bear song because it sounded all droney, but then I thought it was something wrong with my computer speakers, so I took it into the Best Buy Geek Squad/Apple Store, and they assured me that nothing was wrong with my Dell laptop.

Do yall <3 this song?
Are the Strokes the new MGMT of 2k11?

Is this song 'terrible' or should we still 'listen to the whole album' before declaring it a flop?
Should The Strokes consider shelving their album and trying again?
Is 2k11 just a bad repeat of 2k10?
Who will save 2k11?

Vivian Girls make new music video about how they are sad that they aren't in Best Coast

I just watched this new Vivian Girls video where they are basically really sad, and mope around a seedy motel room where they are probably being pimped out [via human trafficking]. Ultimately, a pretty boring music video + song, but it is just another opportunity to talk about how sad the Vivian Girls seem 2 look because they haven't had Best Coast's career.

Feel kinda sad watching this video/listening to this song. A lot of ppl say that the new drummer is way cuter than the old drummer, but at the same time, maybe keutness doesn't matter when ur watching your arch rival opening for Weezer and playing Fallon.

U gotta think every time they see former drummer Ali Koehler on stage with Best Coast, they wish they could be a little bit more successful. It's gotta hurt.

Cheer up Vivian Girls...
It gets better. Maybe all indie bands can't go mainstream, especially fuzzy buzzy ones, but you don't have to be all sad about it. Maybe sing more songs about how you love kissing boys.
Plz don't commit suicide [via burning in hell]... Stay strong.

R u worried abt the Vivian Girls?
Are they 'effed'?
Do u feel sad when u watch them play?
Will they ever get over 'not being Best Coast'?

Oh Vicki...
I'm still getting lost in ur curls...
I wanna be with u sooo bad
I've been a big fan since even before 'Teen Dream'
so plz understand that I'm in it for the right reasons...
I'm not just a new entry level fan trying 2 prove I <3 indie music

I know u hide behind ur hair
bc u don't want to let ppl in
Ur not just the 'Cousin It' of indie music
Ur an enigma, bbqt
And I want u 2 let me in...

But honestly...
r u gonna go solo soon?
The 'other bro' keeps creeping in
and it's just like 'we get it, dude. ur in beach house. LEAVE US ALONE'

Bc the truth is
Vicki LeGrand is the most valuable beach front property in indie music

and her curly hair
gives me a reason 2 believe in a thing called love [via The Darkness]

Oh Vicki...
Ur hair
Ur blazer
Ur shoulder pads
Ur voice

G-d must have spent
a little more time on u <3

Is Vicki LeGrand 'so hot right now' or are u still on #TeamAliceGlass?
Will Victoria ever cut her hair?
Is it time for Beach House and Grizzly Bear to 'merge' into Grizzly House/Beach Bear and go after an Arcade Fire-esque Grammy?
If Win Butler could 'do it all over again', would he replace Regine with Vicki?

After hearing 30 second clips of every song on the new Strokes album, can we call it 'a flop'?

This youtube video contains 30 second clips of the entire new Strokes album 'Angles' in sequential order. Sorta wonder if now that we've heard this album, it might be time to officially declare that the Strokes failed to save 2k11 and that their album is 'nothing to be excited about.' I guess they are probably pretty good at music, but maybe they failed to write something with universal appeal that will win them Arcade Fire levels of mainstream recognition.

Sorta feel like 30 seconds of every song might be all I need 2 hear... But maybe I am wrong and this album is 'a grower' and I will be 'totally blown away' when I hear the album in its entirety... but at the same time... U've all heard the saying "Don't judge an mp3 by its 30 second sample." I feel like my taste is so refined that judging music usually takes between 2-5 seconds, so 30 seconds is an eternity.

Is 'Angles' the 2k11 version of MGMT's "Congratulations" [via huge flop]?
R u sad that the Strokes let u down?
Whose fault is it that the album is kinda weird and unapproachable?
When ppl go to their shows on the upcoming tour, will they just hope that the Strokes 'play the old songs that sound like KIDS and ELECTRIC FEEL'?

Did The Strokes 'flop the hell out of' 2k11?
Is it time for the Strokes 2 'break up 4 good'?
Are the Strokes just coasting off their early 2000s success even though their most recent 2 albums are weird and forgettable?

Zooey Deschanel goes 2 an Oscar party wearing see-thru dress, potentially nips out

Posted: 28 Feb 2011 05:47 PM PST


I just saw this picture of Zooey Deschanel attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party... She is wearing some sort of fancy ass dress by a designer named Valentino... Unfortunately, I do most of my shopping at Forever21, so I don't really have a chance 2 ever wear fancy clothes unless I become a high class prostitute and fly to the Middle Easy and make love to miscellaneous princes who threaten to enslave me.

U gotta figure that Zooey Deschanel is pretty upset that she wasn't nominated for any Academy Awards and Natalie Portman basically made her irrelevant. Gotta be embarrassing to show up 2 this Oscar afterparty just to be like 'hey sup I'm here. No didn't really have a reason 2 go 2 the real show, but u know... Just trying to be more famous.'

Anyways, u notice the model wearing this dress seems to be 'showing nip', but then u can't tell if Zooey Deschanel's nipples are exposed. There's no way Ben Gibbard let her out of the house showing nipples... She is probably wearing some sort of nude body suit to make sure that she isn't branded as a 'slutwave' artist. Kinda sad for bros all over the internet, because every1 really wants 2 investigate her body, sorta like that dude in '500 Days of Summer.'

Does Zooey Deschanel look 'hot'?
Did u use ur zoom tool to see if Zooey Deschanel is 'nipping out'?
zoeey deschanel nude nip slip oscars
Do u think she just has really light nipples or is she wearing a modern Underarmour-wave bra?
Do u think she will have to 'get naked' and 'do some girl-on-girl scenes' if she really wants 2 be taken seriously in Hollywood [via Natalie Portman]?
Who has had a better career by acting in movies that Natalie Portman rejects: Kirsten Dunst or Zooey Deschanel?
