HIPSTER RUNOFF

I recently saw this meme 'getting mad blog coverage' so I decided to watch it. It is a bro 'playing a tree', like he 'turned the tree into an actual instrument to make music with.' I listened to the music, and it sounds 'very stupid' but possibly 'a lot like Ratatat.' Wonder if he is a bro who 'loves nature' or did he just have to come up with his art/music graduate school final project, and wanted to go semi-viral. I hope that he 'gets invited to play his tree on the Today show' and has to uproot the tree in order to take it on tour.

Feel like this video meme really deconstructed my newfound interest in conceptual music that sounds like it is a mix of being 'from nature' and 'from the modern world.' Wonder if some of my fave conceptual bands like the Grizzling Bear or AnCo or Here We Go Neon Indians might start incorporating 'plants' into their live set. Seems like it would make them 'incredibly meme-able.' Wonder if this bro will get signed by an indie record label. Seems like he has a lot of talent. Maybe he can write a jingle for the Toyota Prius, or another hybrid automobile/trendy 'green' product.

I feel 'ashamed' to have blogged about this, because it sort of reminds me of a 'cool science teacher' sharing something 'interesting' with a glass of 7th graders to get them pumped about photosynthesis. h8 tree playing bro s00 bad. But I think he created a really sweet typeface/'font.'

Sorta wish I could just be a 'regular bro' who would just say that this meme is 'cool' and move along in search of the next 'kewl web bit'/viral vid...but I feel like I'm searching 4 more than that in my eExistence.

This meme sorta reminds me of when that old bro David Byrne 'played a building.' Think that was more of a metaphor about 'the city' and 'urbanization.' Seems like a bro who has gone 'off the conceptual deep end.' Feels alienating when 'artists' take 'art' s000 srsly.

Not sure how I feel about bros playing things that 'aren't real instruments.' Seems like they are just 'huge ass holes' who are 'making noise.' Seems unnatural and forced even though they are trying to seem 'natural.'

Might chainsaw that bro's tree down as some sort of metaphor, kinda like Banksy/other 'vandal' artists. Just want to destroy 'something beautiful', kinda like Tyler Durden in the The League of Fighting Men Clubs.
