Hey yall. I got a Satellite Radio show. If yall drive cars with leather interiors, yall can listen 2 me. It’s a great opportunity 4 me 2 take my ‘blog brand’ 2 the next level, and get a lot of people to read my blog who don’t even know what ‘weblog’ means. Yall get 2 hear me talk. Most of yall won’t.
The HIPSTER RUNOFF radio show airs Mondays at noon and again at midnight EST on Sirius XMU. Iff you’re an XM subscriber, you can listen to Blog Radio on channel 43, and Sirius subscribers can still find us on channel 26. If u really want 2 hear Carles Show, u can get a 3 day trial membership.
THIS WEEK’S PLAYLIST
- Tough Alliance Neo Violence (Shazam Remix)
- Vampire Weekend – The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance (Chromeo Remix)
- Friendly Fires – Paris
- Animal Collective – People
- Broken Social Scene – Cause = Time
- Empire of the Sun – Walking on a Dream
- Felix Da Housecat – Ready 2 Wear
- Miami Horror – Make You Mine
- Panda Bear – Comfy in Nautica
- Phoenix -Too Young
- Friendly Fires – Paris (Aeroplane Remix Feat Au Revoir Simone)
- Sebastian Tellier – La Ritournelle (Metronomy Remix) [MP3]
- Thieves Like Us – Drugs in my Body
- The Walkmen – Thinking of a Dream I had
- We Have Band – Oh!
- Pnau – Embrace (featuring Ladyhawke)
- MGMT – Of Moons Birds and Monsters (Holy Ghost! Remix)
- Elliott Smith – Needle in the Hay
- Holy Ghost! – Hold On [MP3]
- M83 – Kim & Jessie [MP3]
- Feist – 1234 (Van She Remix)
- Interpol – Untitled
- Sneaky Soundsystem – When We Were Young (Breakbot Remix)
- Digitalism – Apollo-Gize (Breakbot Remix)
Is my playlist kinda weak/too mnstrm?
Are yall excited?
Does this mean that I have ‘made it’ as an MP3 blog?
Does this mean I have better taste in music than u?
Is my radio show just a meme?
Should I start podcasting?
Are yall ‘excited 4 Carles’ or ‘kinda disappointed’ or ‘a lil jeal’ or ‘h8 u’?

Never seen your blog before, but I agree with everyone that this is a pretty weak playlist. It is just too much like what I hear on Left of Center everyday. Blog radio should be about new/crazy stuff. And I am hoping they just moved Gorilla v Bear to a different day, because if you replaced him it would be a sad, sad day.

Crles! I’m so exxxcited you got a show! It’s kinda ironic tho, because this weekend when I was home for T-give my parents were listening to XM (they think they’re “cool parents”), and I put on XMU and heard GvB and Aquarium Drunkard’s shows, but felt empty inside. I thought, “Why doesn’t Crles have a show? My life lacks meaning.” Now you have one and I can be happy again! Yay, y’all!

Hey, So I just heard your show and rather liked it. I don’t know what you did before since you are getting all this slack from your readers, but I was rather impressed. Great job..I say you get a show where you mostly talk though, cuz your words and the way you talk is amusing. Keep up the good work and I’ll stay listening.

What makes you think that the radio show would suddenly become a serious representation of pretentious hipsterdom? Carles’ posts are poking fun at ntrylvls, and his playlist was doing just the same. i mean, really. Animal Collective was on there. How often does crls have to blog about Noah & the PandiBearz before yall get it.

@childpred, its funny in blog format, but listening to faux cool music that isn’t even fun or outrageous isn’t funny at all, it’s just boring and stupid. like, im gonna go make fun of people by driving around listening to animal collective all day, then everyone will realize i’m making fun of them and not just listening to animal collective. get it? get it?
like i said, for a radio show to work it needs to actually be good, as in, enjoyable and off balance. that doesn’t mean there’s no place for irony but rather that the choices have to be inspired and surprising.

I feel as if this blog (and subsequently Carles) is greatly misunderstood. Now I’m not sure I “get it” either, but I want to point this out at the very least. It seems like Carles is very much a part of, and even embraces the culture he spends so much time making fun of. I call it “being able to laugh at yourself.” He obviously spends 10000000 blog hours per day scouring teh internetz for the newest bands or latest tracks. He runs through party pic sites to find people to make fun of. He goes to concerts (or, ahem, shows) and other “alt” events.
While he loves altdom in its entirety, he is “self-aware” enough to lampoon its excesses. One of its excesses (that is constantly being made fun of on this blog) is people who pride themselves on being more “authentic” or more alt than someone else. While one can’t help but laugh at the sorority girls riding around in their SUVs blasting that new song “Paper Airplanes” by the MIAs, that is still a far cry from being one of these people:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5-rGN0ou_4
That’s what over half of these posts sound like. If you don’t like the radio show, don’t listen to it. If it makes you stop liking the famous weblog the HIPSTER RUNOFF, then don’t come back. If you consistently read this blog (or found it interesting at any point), then chances are you have an interest in “alt” music. Just listen to the music you like. This blog is funny and posts good music every now and then. Quit hatin.
Congrats on getting a radio show Carles; I hope it will help you on your quest to “find yourself.”
