HIPSTER RUNOFF

Some performance artist named Marina Abramović is doing some sort of 'art work' at the Museum of Modern Art where she sits and stares at people all day. It is called The Artist is Present, and u r supposed to feel 'deep and emotional' looking into her soul [link to website]. The photos of every1 staring at her are uploaded to some flickr site. Tons of famous people and alt-looking New Yorkers have 'started 2 go see this live meme' going down, probably to get press/feel more famous. Bjork recently stopped by to get her stare on with this mopey old lady, and it seems like they had a meaningful telepathic conversation.
Marina Abramović: Sup sligga Bjork: Hey How r u
Marina Abramović: What r u doing 2day?
Bjork: nmh. how abt u?
Marina Abramović: just gettin my stare on.
Bjork: I really like what ur doing. u inspire me
Marina Abramović: haha ditto. sometimes I jam 2 u on my iPod when I make art
Bjork: O ya, which song do u like?
Marina Abramović: Mainly the early stuff. Ur later stuff is inaccessible
Bjork: Ya, I agree. Sorta just on cruise control now that my brand is established
Marina Abramović: Ya, I am hoping this internet meme art piece puts me over the top with mainstream blog fame
Bjork: so what do u like to do in ur spare time?
Marina Abramović: just artsy shit
Bjork: o that's kewl.
Marina Abramović: where did u grow up, anyways?
Bjork: I am from Iceland.
Marina Abramović: I have met many great people from Iceland. They have a truly creative spirit.
Bjork: I'm really creative. I didn't even go to school, I was raised by a collective of animals.
Marina Abramović: Like the band?
Bjork: No, like there were some wolves, a bear, some snow foxes, and some Icelandic llamas. We'd spend all day doing creative projects and writing music.
Marina Abramović: That's kewl.
Bjork: There's no such thing as 'cool.'
Marina Abramović: Andy Warhol.
Bjork: Who is that?
Marina Abramović: He's the guy who inspired Lady Gaga
Bjork: Who is Lady Gaga?
Marina Abramović: Isn't that the singer that you are ripping off? She wears all this zany ass clothing
Bjork: There is no one else on this earth like me.
Marina Abramović: Why do u think my husband divorced me?
Bjork: I dunno. U look kinda bitchy?
Marina Abramović: What do u mean? I looked rugged and real.
Bjork: I am just not sure I'd want to sit across from you for every meal.
Marina Abramović: But I look so real.
Bjork: I mean, it would just be hard to chill with you because you look like you want to cry and poop at the same time.

Yall. This is a picture of 'the Ellen/Obama of Iceland', I think. She probably has a charismatic personality or something. Can't believe Iceland elected a homosexual into office. Makes me feel a little bit proud, but also really nervous. Not sure if I really 'believe' that she can turn the Icelandic economie around. Heard that it is really in the shitter because Iceland doesn't produce anything valuable for the world.

Feel sad that Sigur Ros and Bjork are Iceland's most valuable exports.

I think that Iceland is 'pretty doomed.' I feel like they lived so far away from 'civilization' that they started to build some sort of 'imaginary reality.' While that is good for 1-5 artists who become successful, I can't help but stereotype the rest of the population as being 'zany' and 'ppl who wear weird clothes.'

Feel sad that Iceland going to melt [via global warming]. Not sure if Iceland will be around much longer. Wonder if their educational systems are helping out, or if they just have arts&crafts programs instead of 'math.'

I wonder if Icelandic kids see Bjork just like American kids see rappers/athletes. I wonder if they think that 'I will be the next Bjork' and neglect cultivating functional skills that will contribute 2 society.

Does n e 1 know anything about Iceland? Worried about their economy.
Hope the lesbian President works out. Does n e 1 know if Iceland is one of the places where there is still 'mob violence' whenever they want 2 kill a politician/witch?
Is Greeland the new Iceland?
Do yall think the movie 'Milk' made this happen?

But srsly...
is America going to have a 'gay male' President or a 'lesbian' President first? What kind of 'ghey' will they be [via butch/bear/twink/etc.]?
R u going 2 'move 2 france' as soon as a homosexual is elected?

Saw this picture of Bjork, and I feel worried about her (not just because she looks like a RLLY free-spirited mom). I think her whole gimmick is 'h8ing paparazzi' and 'wanting to be judged only on her art.' However, I don't think she realizes that whenever she wears something free-spirited, and individual-ish, she is just inviting people to 'blog about her.'

Think she is inviting gimmicks like 'fashion police' and 'OMG WHAT IS SHE WEARING' columns to 'make fun of her.' Feel like she is starting to come across like 'a zany bag lady.' I understand that I think she is being 'true to herself', but I think in our modern world, sometimes even the most free-spirited people need to tone it down in order to 'maintain a little bit of privacy/pride.'

She has achieved master-meme status, becoming one of those artists who 'mainstreamers know about, and associate her with high-end alternative status, regardless of whether or not her music is good/identifiable.' She has to be careful, because that means 'the mainstream world is watching her', looking to convert her into a blurbabble/bloggable meme, no matter how small one of her actions might be.

Sad that Bjork is 'getting older.' Want every1 who is/was 'relevant' to stay young forever. When famous people 'get older', it reminds me that I am 'getting older.' When I look in the mirror, I will probably always see some1 who 'looks attractive', even if I am completely wrong. We don't need celebrities to 'make us feel our age.' This is why Madonna is so successful--she realizes that she must maintain a youthful image in order to keep her fans from 'getting sad about being all old.'

Still can't believe Bjork executed the greatest award show dress meme of all time

(might be this for Halloween as a 'throwback alt costume')

Wonder if Ellen will beat Oprah

Should I start thinking abt what I will be for Halloween in 2k9?

miss Heath. Don't think I'll be ready 2 b a JokerAlt for at least 5 years.
Not even a zany one with a bunch of kute buttons/pins + an altBro visor.

Might be THE KNIFE, but they haven't had a new album in like 200 blog years. :-(

Probs will just end up being 'Naked Bjork.' Authentic Muff = free spirited authentic zaniness.

This past Halloween was a flop, so I'm just gonna do whatever it takes 2 get back my concept of 'fun.'

Yall. I h8 iceland. h8 their free spirited educational system that produces zanyCore OutOfTouchWithReality people. S0 tired of when people who 'live in lala land' are given a platform to talk about important things like technology, television, and the human condition.

After the election, I'm really just reEvaluating everything in my life. Kind of weird now that we have a new president. Feel kinda 'liberated' but not 'too free spirited.' Maybe Bjork is right. Maybe I could learn a lot from her. Does n e1 have BarryObama's gmail address?

I remember when I wanted 2 move 2 iceland to 'get away' from all of the social bullshit in my local social economy. Now that we have a new Prez, I'm not so sure. Hope he helps me cope with the loss of Heath.

Did Bjork have keut bangs as a kid?

This AltCelebLook-Alike is a human mashup of two separate alternative celebrity personalities.  They have merged as one to create an intriguing-looking superAlt.

Do yall know which 2 altCelebs have merged into this one alt?

Hints:

• One is a former HRO 'it girl'/'tugbsession'
• One is from Canada & the other is from the North Pole
• One is zany/in touch with nature
• One inspired a lot of girls to dress as a duck/swan costumes 4 Halloween.

DO YALL KNOW WHO IT IS?
Cheat Sheet Hint: It is not Uffie + Sarah Palin.

Have yall noticed the lead singer of CSS (Also Known as Lovefoxxx ) getting all ZANED out at music festivals recently?

[KatbeatFLICKR]

Will she be able to top Bjork's zany, artistic, innovative, & conceptually meaningfully artistic-core-core personal brand?  Lovefoxxx is s0 zany/conceptual

[KirstieKat on flickr]

I miss the old days when CSS used to look like regular rich-kids-from-Brazil-pretending-to-be-street-urchins. :-( I used to be able to identify with them.

Will LOVEFOXXXXX be able to take down Bjork as alt-music's #1 'weirdo diva'?

Have yall heard that theory about how people from Iceland would be put into 'special ed' if they went to school in America? Apparently, they are so creative that traditional educational systems can't handle their talents, so they just place them with kids with learning disabilities.

Unfortunately, most 'indie music fans/consumers' don't rlly 'get' Icelandic people, or only pretend to 'get' them by taking them seriously/meaningfully. Sigur Ros was kind of meaningful when u 'realized that music didn't have 2 have lyrics 2 b meaningful', but their latest stuff has been a lil bit 'too weirdo' 4 me. I'd rather support Americans, so when it comes to concept-core music, I purchase Animal Collective.

Hey. Did u see the one shot from Bjork's upcoming 3d music?
Me too!
Yeah! I think it looks really weird, too! I've heard she's rlly weird!

What's the deal with Bjork? She's been around for a while. Sometimes I've listened to her music when I'm riding in the car of some girl from a small town with a pseudo-alternative personality, but I've never purchased any of her albums, or particularly enjoyed the 1 track that we all get to hear from Pitchfork when one of her new albums is coming out. I've heard she's good live.

Remember her swan dress that one time? Has her greatest contribution to society been progressing alternative/electronic music, or creating a SWAN DRESS for alternative girls to wear on Halloween for years to come?

Do u like Bjork?
Would you date her?
Do u think she has a really hairy pussie?
If I asked if she had a really hairy pussie, would that take away from my blog's journalistic integrity, or would effectively demonstrate the point that I think Bjork is REALLY WEIRD, and probably has a huge, tangled bush?

What type of people have you met who 'get really pumped' about Bjork?
I heard her movie "Dancer in the Dark" is really sad. What's the last movie you cried at? Yeah, I cried at the end of The Royal Tenenbaums when Ben Stiller's wife comes back to life, too.

Is 'being from Iceland' still a gimmick to put your band over the top?
In 2008, I'd rather be a robot or wear a mask, or both.

Bjork: I don't really have a strong opinion on her music, but I just wanted to say that I think she's WEIRD even though I appreciate 'art' and 'conceptual stuff.'

Yoko Ono only has 2358 friends on myspace. She also has George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr in her Top friends.
When she 'broke up the Beatles', do you think any one could have predicted this kind of myspace drama? I think it's in poor taste.

Also in her Top Friends are Gandhi, The Dalai Lama, Michael Moore, Thurston Moore, Amy Winehouse, Bjork, and her son, Sean Lennon.

Go and check out her profile full of way too many videos. She's only been a member since 9/12/2007, so I'm sure some one must have told her that myspace would help her IMAGINE PEACE campaign.

After blogging about the Beatles and Radiohead, it's nice to know that I have no Beatles or Radiohead songs on my computer. I do have Coldplay on my computer, though.
