Mysterious 'buzzband' Neon Indian 'unmasked'... Signs 2 Lesfe Records...We live in a world where things change every day. One day u r famous, the next day no1 knows who u r. One day u r a viral internet meme…the next day ur just another person who uses the internet too much and understands the concept of a ‘meme.’
I just wanted to know what happened to stuff from the past. Some of the stuff we should miss. Some of the stuff we shouldn’t miss 2 much.
WHATEVER HAPPENED 2:
The band that dressed up in suits (the Interpolice)
The Zany Female Jewish Comedian
The Postal Services
Uffie 1.0
Girls who were attracted to Jared Leto’s personal brand
The guy who played ‘The Terminating”
Mark Hunter, Photographer for thecobrasnake.com, before he ‘changed’
Conan O’Brien style humor
The song with the whistling about not caring about young people
What happened 2 the days when we used 2 all get along and only care about partying 4 the sake of partying? Back before money, reputation, and personal brands were on the line. Will things ever be authentic again?
The guy from the band ZanyTown (Crazie)
The nice guy from Friends
The Fat guy from SNL who was on drugs
The modern philosopher/minimalist web designer/human internet meme, Jakob Loadwick
The Flight of the Quirk-chords
Girls with personal brands that emulated Lisa Loeb
The sillie bass player from The Fred Durst Band (FDB)
People who go to music festivals 2 see Jack Johnson
SRSLY yall…what ever happened 2 all of this stuff?
Is society getting better or worse?
Does the internet make things less meaningful?

[Reply]
Remember when people who were stupid quoted Andy Warhol?
[Reply]
i thought jack johnson would be cuter, some musicians like shouldnt be photogged
we forget things because we are always dying to be once again stimulated by something new, its like the whole fucking world has A.D.D.
lets all get hopped up on drugs and partay
[Reply]
Whatever Happened to ALT?!
and
Elvy Pressy/Toopackie
[Reply]
Nice Pre Aoki/Chan photo from before the start of the Los Angelez electro party crew battles of 2k6! Those were the days. Sunday funday was a good party where you could hear the Aok’s and Chanski hone their DJ skillz!
[Reply]
LISA LOEB!!! tuggable.
[Reply]
I dunno I read a lot of stuff on blogs and things but i cant see them anywhere so they are probably dealing with stuff outside of the the scope of my RSS feed which means one thing and that is that they are either all politicians in California or mnstrms.
[Reply]
it went mnstrm. obviously.
when was jack johnson ever cool, though??
[Reply]
yeah agreed with above. jj was never “cool” but was he accidentally cool? i mean some of his songs have pretty solid vibes, i personally like what you thought you need from his new cd
uhh, weever happened to you bloggin about music?!?!? BRING THAT BACK

-Quote of the year.
S0 true..
[Reply]
what happened to the days when all the bloghouse nights in LA used to be unironic 80s nights?
[Reply]
that guy isn’t the bass player. fyi. or if he is, he’s holding a guitar.
[Reply]
THAT’S WHAT JACK JOHNSON LOOKS LIKE?!?!?! HOLY SMOKES!!!!
Interpol: Who cares?
Sarah Silverman: Not funnie/irrelevant
Postal Service: Released a few b-sides and John Lennon covers after Give Up. A 2nd album would have ruined the magic, I’m glad they didn’t follow up.
Uffie: Who cares?
Jared Leto: Who cares?
Arnold: I think he is in politix?
Cobra Snake: Kiddie Porn.
Conan: Who cares?
Peter Bjorn/John: Too gimmicky to last.
Partying at the Beauty Bar: Still kinda fun.
David Schwimmer: Who cares?
Flight of the Conchords: No 2nd season :(
Lisa Loeb: Way ahead of her time. I thought she was yucky b4, but now she is hot.
That’s all I got.
[Reply]
I had Chili’s the other day. Thought of you.
-kisses
[Reply]
i hrd conan is mvng dwn n hr 2 tke ovr leno’s spot. i’m wrrd this will affct his prsnal alt/indi brnd. does an hour make a diff b/w mnstrm n alt-strm?
[Reply]
is obama alt? i personally voted for W n 2k elction to avoid the mnstrm selection. obama ‘the blky’ sounds alt-y but the polls show he is n the mnstrm
-crlsr please help!
[Reply]
I think it’s either MGMT’s fault or somehow related to “Mad Men.” At least Lisa Loeb remains ultra tuggable as a brand (I can actually only tug to brands now. Extant people are so web 2.0.)
[Reply]
woah, cobrasnake knew picasso.
[Reply]
also, not that she isnt completely bngabl in that pic, but silverman is way better looking with clothes on
[Reply]
shifty shitlock from crazytown is a meth-head living in a bin somewhere and i unfortunatley failed on two separate occassions to kill (for the good of man kind)sarah silverman. note to crls: bass = 4 strings. guitar = six strings.
[Reply]
Uffie was sexy at one point???
[Reply]
umm.. the internet definitely makes things less meaningful.. a whole lot less.
[Reply]
interpol & the postal service:
i listened to them in 8th grade when i was an "indie yuppie" and i thought knowing what death cab for cutie was made me so much better than the other middle school mnstrmrs.
[Reply]
wow, really, uffie used to be highly tuggable… now she reminds me of aunt
[Reply]
carles being Lay-Z
[Reply]
I just wanted to say that I think that your blog is so exciting, and just really funny. SRSLY - funny in a really innovative way which is not avoiding-the-need-to-be-funny or something - smart and sharp and connected to stuff that’s going on in the world. Like, now. And that’s really rare and great. So, yeah. Thank you.

[Reply]
thx for getting me addicted to to catch a predator. i watch it like every night before i go to sleep, it has replaced pr0n.
did you see the one where when he was like, “IM CHRIS HANSEN” the azn was like “OH HI IM WON” and they shook hands?

Hey HRO I just found this blog http://deepcitydive.blogspot.com/ there is too much Mexi-alt pics. I know you gonna love it.
[Reply]
the bass player from fred dursty is in marilyn manson.
[Reply]
That is a good 2 catch a preddy… I like the way Chris Hansen not only shakes hands, but also kinda mutters something which sounds like he started saying ‘good to meet you’ or something, but realizes who he’s talking to halfway through. Aaah, good times.
[Reply]
i love your use of the word zany
[Reply]

[Reply]

[Reply]

[Reply]
UFFIE 1.0 was so GD tuggable.
[Reply]
half of the comments on this page are authored by mr. carlese
[Reply]
i miss uffie 1.0 the most
uffie 2.0 and 3.0 will never come close
[Reply]
I miss Uffie 1.0. She was hooooot. Now she's faaaaaat.
Every fat guy who did drugs on SNL wound up dead.
FOTC is coming back for season 2.
The Postal Service is for meaningful people.
The Terminator is now the Governator.
Conan O'Brien was never very funny.
EVERYONE cares about young folks. It's old folks who are to be ignored & put in homes.
[Reply]
connan O’brien used to be the funniest person on late night PERIOD still is, but honestly it is an easy title to obtain.
The whistling song by Postal Service is already a song they play in the grocery store with such low volume you can no longer distinguish it from roxane by the polices.** (carles humor)in nor cal anyway. Things go from alt to mnstrm in about 2.5 seconds.
makes sense our GOV is an actor. but he can never be pres like ronald r cuz he’s from nazi land err whatever. People only go to europe to smoke pot without catching heat from the police, and to beat the twenty one drinking age is t’like cancun for ULTRA-rich. Someone from there could obvi. never be pres of the U.S. and A. (Borat humor?)
[Reply]
Actually people who go to see Jack Johnson are still here, I have proof from that messenger thing that people used to use so much b4 facebookchat came:
