HIPSTER RUNOFF

Thom Yorke admits "King of Limbs" sucked by focusing on his own dubstep career

Thom Yorke Live DJ Set @ Low End Theory LA 3.9.11 from Theo Jemison on Vimeo.

Here is some 'high definition video footage' of Thom Yorke's surprise DJ set last week, or whenever that happened. I figured that he was 'supporting' the KING OF LIMBS album, but it seems like he is moving on with his own career and trying to distance himself from what a huge flop the King of Limbs was, and he is just moving on with his own career. He is releasing some MP3s with dubstep legends Burial and Four Tet, probably because he wants to be taken more seriously as a dubstep solo buzzband.

New Burial jam, taken from the A-side of his instantly sold-out forthcoming split 12″ with Thom Yorke + Four Tet, out this week on Four Tet’s TEXT label

Here is some song called "Ego" that is probably abt Eggo waffles or something

Here is one called "Mirror." Not sure if it is as good as MJ's "Man In the Mirror."

I am not really a dubstep music critic, so I can't tell if these songs are 'epic' or 'forgettable.' I feel like all darkwave dubstep 'sounds the same', so I can't really tell. It sounds all heavy and wobbly and drummy and bassy, but I don't know how 2 describe it 4 real.

Are these songs 'hella authentic'?
Is Thommy admitting that he h8s Radiohead + is ashamed of their last album?
Is KING OF LIMBS a critical + commerical flop?
Do u think he will be more dubstep famous than Burial/James Blake?
Do u think he is pissed that James Blake is the new 'king of dubstep'?
Will Thom's dubstep career get in the way of his relationship with Radiohead?
Is Radiohead hella irrelevant?
Oh Thommy...

Justice makes new music video starring Katy Perry

Here is a new music video by Justice directed by Romain Gavras, the 'horrorcore director' who created the shocking ginger genocide video by M.I.A. Anyways, he couldn't do anything violent this time because it was a commercial for Adidas, but I guess u have to make some $$$$ instead of just producing violent videos that 'shock the internet.'

Anyways, this video features Katy Perry, but it also features popular NBA basketball player Derrick Rose (AKA Derrick Brose), and the popular international footballer Lionel Messi.

Sort wonder if they shoulda just stole the gimmick from the 'California GIrls' music video 2 get more perv views on this youtube embed.

do u <3 'Civilization' or was it just written 4 Adidas?
Will Civilization save 2k11?
Will Civilization save Civilization?
Has Romain Gavras 'sold out'/gone down the shitter?
Is Derrick Rose the NBA MVP?
Is Lionel Messi the international footballer of all time?
Is Katy Perry the #1 slutwaver in the world?
Can adidas be more alt/relevant than Nike?

Lykke Li shows off her alt breasts, rides slutwaves on the cover of SPIN Magazine

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 10:00 AM PDT


I just saw this picture of Lykke Li on the cover of SPIN Magazine. I feel like SPIN hasn't really gone 'all out' Rolling Stone strategy and put Snooki/Jimmy Fallon/Other tweeny celebs on their cover, but maybe that means that they aren't serious enough abt wanting to sell magazines 'by all means necessary.' They put Lykke Li on the cover, and I am not sure if she is 'popular enough' 2 sell units, but maybe they are just trying to say 'we think Lykke Li is popular/will be successful and we want to be famous 4 hyping her.'

Anyways, Lykke Li looks like she is 'show off more skin' than ever these days, which is a GREAT career move for any female in the industry. Our most successful female artists have followed that model, so there's no reason for them to think they can do it any other way. Personally, I'd like to see even more of Lykke's body, but she is still growing as a potential slutwaver + probably getting her body into perfect shape + getting used to showing it off.

Her lil alt breasts look really great.

Here is a sideboob Lykke Li shot from some random photo shoot.

'If u tilt your computer screen to the left, u can see nip.'

Does Lykke Li 'look hot/alt'?
R u turned on by her?
Will she ride indie slutwaves and take her career 2 the next lvl?
Does she deserve 2 be on the cover of a mainstream American magazine?
Will SPIN Magazine survive by putting indie buzzbands on their cover or should they just put Rebecca Black on the cover?

American Apparel is having an annual 'Factory Flea Market sale' at SXSW, which I think is just where they sell the clothes that no1 buys, so it is sorta like the alt-est selection of Am Appy. I remember they had one of these in London, and a riot broke out because the clothes were so 'in demand.' [link]. Seems like this is definitely going to be a HOT SPOT for mega-influencers and innovators at this year's SXSW music and internet festival.

American Apparel is hosting a factory flea market in Austin!

We'll not only have thousands of garments at up to 70% off, but we'll be selling many of your favorite American Apparel basics at not-so-retail prices. Last year over 12,000 people showed up and brought home bags and bags of great pieces at great prices. Inventory will be constantly replenished throughout the sale, and for the first time ever, it will be indoors! RSVP on this event page to receive updates, tips, and be the first to know when new styles arrive!

Friday, March 18th 2:00pm - 9:00pm
Saturday, March 19th 11:00am - 8:00pm

I guess I'll probably fly in just to get some 'sweet deals' on Am Appy clothes... but more importantly, I kinda want to finally get my 'modeling career' going. Am Appy is conducting a WORLD WIDE MODEL SEARCH. I am definitely gonna go wearing my Am Appy just to try to jumpstart my career as an alt retail model.

**SXSW Model Search: American Apparel will also have a photo studio and photographer on site to find new models! Anyone can be photographed and all photos will appear on our FB page. Winners will be flown to LA and model for print and online advertisements worldwide (and be paid!). Come to the FFM to participate! Must wear one piece of AA**

Will u become the 'face of Am Appy'?
Will u become the model that saves Am Appy?
R u gonna go 2 the Factory Flea Market?
Is it still 'alt' to want 2 be an Am Appy model?
R u hot enough 2 be an Am Appy model?
What is the alt-est Am Appy clothing 2 wear 2 a Factory Flea Market?
R u gonna try to 'shoplift' from the Factory Flea Market?
