Should I buy some XX dining room wallpaper?
Photos by Plastic Choko


I am always searching for ways to prove that I am 'the most authentic fan' of buzz bands. So many people just steal MP3s and share them with their friends to prove that they are 'true fans'. Some more authentic fans purchase vinyl editions of LPs. Some bands create iPhone apps / games for their fans 2 buy. Going to a live show can prove that ur a fan, especially if u take some sweet video footage with ur point and shoot camera. Buying the poster of a band can make u a legit fan according to people who enter ur college dorm room..

Feel like wallpaper is 'the ultimate poster.' Like something that will be in ur room forever.  Wall paper interacts with the space in ur room, turning a 'bland' room into something that is 'truly beautiful'? This bro decided to get some wallpaper that represents his love of the XX, 'mashed up' [via Girl Talk] with his love of dining. The fork and knife form an X, metaphorically representing where art, commerce, food, and society intersect..

One day, u will take down all of the posters in ur room when you 'become a new version of you', but wall paper is more likely to stick around.  Do u have better wall paper in ur house / apartment, or as the background of ur desktop?

What are some good ways to prove that u r an authentic fan of buzz bands? How can u create a meaningful product to showcase ur allegiance to a buzzband?

  • Grizzly Bear: Go hunting, kill a grizz bear, turn it into an iPod dock + speakers
  • Vampire Weekend: Go 2 the movies and see 'Twilight' on a weekend
  • MGMT: get ur MBA from University of Phoenix online business school
  • Beach House: have ur parents buy u a house on the beach
  • Crystal Castles: build a castle out of crystals
  • Animal Collective:
  • Panda Bear: go 2 the zoo and feed a panda bear mp3 players made out of bamboo
  • Washed Out: huff cleaning agents
  • Neon Indian: Go 2 an indian reservation, and paint some Native Americans 'neon', have them perform on SNL, kinda like Ke$ha
  • the XX: buy a bunch of Dos Equises, then drink them, and keep the bottles in ur room.

Do u know of any good ways to prove that ur really into bands?
What types of band merch do u buy?
Do u want some sort of dining room set that showcases ur love of ur fave indie buzzband?
Should I get a bunch of black clothes + turtle necks so I can copy the XX's brand, sorta like how teen girls dressed like a slut / Madonna in the 1980s?

What is the most authentic utensil: the fork, knife, spoon, spork, or chop sticks?

Animal Collective? Begin collecting a bunch of animals (perhaps animals that can play keyboards).

@Al-lex,
Animal Collective: Just find things that clash horribly, mix them all together without any skill or preparation, and claim you are a consciously evolving band of noncommital dumbasses. Now that i said it, i'm never gonna mention it again.

looks like he's wearing a shirt for pants in this pic: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4014/4530364213_12dc71bb7b_o.jpg

Would you wear a shirt as pants? Would wearing a turtleneck as pants imply you have a long dong?

QUESTION:
How do you decide what goes in the alt report and what is posted here? They both basically contain the same kind of content and are usually around the same length. Someone pretend to be Carles and answer this for me plz&thx

@Elle, things on here have more to do with hipsters, things on the alt report have more to do with alts. obviously

The spork is the most authentic utensil. It defies all preconceptions about what a utensil is supposed to be, a fork a spoon, a chopstick, and it says F U to them all and is an amalgamation of utensils. It doesn't just relegate itself to one task that everyone expected it to do, it can do FUCKING EVERYTHING. When you're in the woods, with nothing and you're butt naked but you have to try and maintain civility so that you don't go bat-shit insane, you can't just carry a fork, a spoon, AND chopsticks (for when you want to eat asian animals). There's just not that much space on your butt naked bodyness to carry that many things. But if you carry a spork, you're SET. And everyone knows that the things that are best to take with you when you're going to be a hobo in the woods are the most authentic ever, also via "Where the Wild Things Are". QED FOOLS.

i h8 2 point out that the dude is a poser. he's trying to hide an extra X in there to show his friends he's alt + authentic + actually eats animals and uses them as carpetry, but fails cuz he's too skinny, even w baggy layered clothes.
