I always feel a little bit of pride when I see an alternative/indie/electro band on a mainstream late night talk show. It means ‘we have made it.’
I was kinda pumped to see MSTRKRFT on Jimmy Kimmel Live, but then they sort of just focused on the rapper who raps over the song. Barely even saw the MSTRKRFT bros. Feel like I wasted my night since I stayed in just 2 watch it. The video probably isn’t even worth watching, u just kinda get 2 see a mediocre rap performance while the rapper ‘checks his phone’ several times.
The black rapper guy named N.O.R.E. just tried 2 steal all of the attention cuz he kept twittering from his phone during the performance. Thought that was kinda rude/’trying too hard’ to connect with fans. As I’ve said before, it’s getting ‘kinda annoying’ to discover the lengths certain artists, celebrities, and politicians will go to ‘create coverage for themselves’ by doing something that seems ‘innovative’ but is actually an ‘uninspired and poorly executed gimmick that involves some sort of social technology.’
I wish people would start to realize that twitter is the same thing as ‘real life.’ It’s not a big deal when a celebrity signs up for twitter and then says ’sillie stuff.’ We’re all human, and we’re all twittering at all times, whether we know it or not. Just getting kinda tired of ‘omg, can’t believe _____ said ______ on twitter coverage.’
Remember that time Justice was on Jimmy Kimmel and the had all of those zany impersonators? Wonder which 1 was ‘trying too hard’ 2 be a meme.This performance totes changed late nite performances by electro artists 4ever.
Kinda wish more electro bands were on late night shows, but I guess all they really do is ’stand behind a laptop’ and bounce a little bit while twisting some knobs. Not rlly compelling TV.

Did anyone else notice the keut azn at 8 sec? She was rlly authentic, in a post-Sailor Moon way. Pink and Purple Hair, polka dots, and a Cyndi Lauper skirt! But yeah, that was the most interesting thing in the whole video.

hey carles.. did you know that the bro from MSTRKRFTERS is the bassist from Death from Above 1979 (you know, the canadian elephant-face bros that inspired the CSS song?).. does that make him post-post-alt-electro-canadianese? sooo many cross-overs, i’m confused y’all.

@до свидания, sorry you don’t like DFA1979, i only listen to them to pick up entry levels who like 30+ year old alts with asymmetric mustaches.
@White Blipster, true on the joostice remix.
@anon, epic burn by hyrule.
not gonna lie. kinda jealous carles is at SXSW with yeezy and his blipster entourage(tm).. kinda makes me wonder if carles isn’t actually a trust fund alt cause no recently-fired college print shop employee could afford that shit.. sry, kinda h8 u right now carles.
//////////Reply by anon
//////////Posted March 20th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
@hyrule, no, it stands for Death From Above. Death from Abroad is an offshoot label that releases non-American releases. I never saw the CSS video, so I guess I’m wrong about that. I always just assumed and I like to think that CSS was referring to the bad ass label.
