HIPSTER RUNOFF

Yall. I was reading in some blogs that DJ AM came out to some Spooky Halloween Concert dressed as a Daft Punk Robot and then pretended to be the Daft Punk by playing the Daft Punk mp3s from his MacbookLappy. Wonder if there's gonna be any legal repercussions for what he did. Don't understand why he 'dressed up' since his personal brand is so strong these days (post-escaping death).

I nvr really knew much about DJAM, but then I read a sentence about him and how he keeps escaping death at a progressive gossip blog:

If you look at his history, he survived being molested as a child, emotionally eating himself to 360 pounds, smoking crack, an attempted suicide when the bullet jammed in the gun he had to his head, unprotected sex with lots of shady girls and the lead singer of Crazy Town, a one hit wonder band DJ AM was part of, gastric bypass surgery, dating Nicole Richie and pretending to like it, being a glorified Top 40 bar mitzvah DJ and not getting shot by the hip hop gangsters when he claimed to be hip hop, a plane crash, a blood clot (boh boh), dating Jessica Stam and her mental capacity of a hamster.

Do yall know if death will ever catch up with DJ AM?
Did he put on a Daft Punk costume to prove that he wasn't human after all?
Is DJ AM the most gifted musician of the 21st century?
Will Crazytown rise again?
Should I get gastric bypass surgery 'just 2 b safe'?

Also... is this BOYZ NOIZE altbro the ultimate ElectroBlogAltBro?

Just want to take a course at my local community college where they teach us how to design/engineer costumes which bring to life the myspace symbology of my fave bloghause electro producer band.

I have dreams of opening up an alternative costume shop.

Tentative inventory:

• pleather Justice Jackets
• Crystal Castles ice cream heads
• The Knife masks
• Sebastian Tellier beards
• blipster skin paint + fade haircuts
• Masked DJ replica maskes
• Steve Aoki azn hair wigs
• Mary Kate/Ashley Olson 'krazie' sunglasses
• Kanye West blackface
• Avey Tare from Animal Collective 'lil douchebag military hat'
• MGMT free spirited face paint
• Facial tattoo kit

Yall. I read at the Daily Swarm that some magazine called "DJ Magazine" came out with their top 100 DJs of 2k8. While I am not a big electroHouseDisco Music buff, I feel like I should know more people on this list.

SNUBBED//WRONGED//FUCKT OVR//

I just don't understand why my BlogCentric view of electro music didn't make a bigger splash on this list. Does most of the world listen to guido+eurotrashCore 'techno' music? Am I an unEducated electroFan? Does the music that I listen to 'not matter' in the context of 'authentic electronic' music?

I have made the bloghouse/mainstreamLectro bands that appeal to me GREEN.
Everything is that is guidoCore/electronica/technoh0use/authentic techno is RED.

Please feel free to let me know how you feel about this list. I just want yalls input.
Who are blogville's most relevant DJs? Which DJs probably cost the most?
Are u tired of all of the guidoHouseTechno DJs getting all of the attention? (Are they more authentic than bloggy electro DJs who have capitalized on the entrylevel alt population growth spurt?)

But SRSLY, doesn't it piss u off when ur local DJ seems like he'd rather be any where else than playing at your local ElectroParty?

A new theme that HRO will continue to explore is coping with tragedy. As the internet evolves, our society (and tweens) are finding modern ways to cope with loss and/or tragedy. For example, there were the infamous 9-11 alts who ended up on their city's local news. Was wearing replicas of the World Trade center too much, or was their perspective just too progressive for most people?

Is there an authentic space that exists where we can truly pay our respects by honoring our genuine perception of the event? Where is the line between 'funnie', 'inappropriate' and 'as terrible as it could possibly get' when it comes to modern coping.

Here is this video tribute to DJ AM & Travis Barker. They were in an accident that you wouldn't wish upon any one. As the internet evolves and tweens have dehumanized celebrities into fake entities, will this be the future of 'authenticity' when it comes to dealing with loss+tragedy?

These girls have communicated at 100% capacity, conveying their complete perspective on the TRV$ DJ-AM plane crash. Should I find this offensive, or representative of reality?
