Cheer up, Andrew VanWyngarden!
#itgetsbetter, I promise
I know ur still bummed about Congratulations
but it doesn't mean u have to get all mopey
U look cold and distant
U look dead on the inside
like u r 'totally over' the indie scene
like u don't care what the blogosphere thinks abt u
but maybe u do
maybe u don't
only the Indie God knows
Listen, maybe I was hard on u
Maybe the album isn't even that bad
maybe I finally 'get it'
maybe u were right
maybe it will be the album of the year
maybe
let's try to think about some positives to cheer u up
Remember ur album art? That was a pretty cool meme...
U have a major label record deal
U can make another album and u have our attention
That's not a bad thing
A lot of ppl will be waiting for u to fail
so maybe if u exceed their limited expectations
U will be perceived as a 'huge success'
'rebounding from a disaster'
'getting ur swag back'
Cheer up bro.
Ur depressing me, for real.
U don't have 2 play "KIDS" any more, okay?
We get it
u h8 that song
but don't just 'half ass it' on stage in a resentful way.
kinda harsh
Maybe u can 'rearrange' the song
make it all depressing + boring + unapproachable or something
I know it is difficult to write a perfect song
similar to the Eagle's "Hotel California"
Just want u 2 cheer up
Life's not too bad.
Don't give up
#it_gets_better
Loosen up, bro
Unbutton that top button
and just learn to <3 life again
learn to <3 the power of buzz
Some people would give anything 2 be where u r right now
Cheer up broski.
#itgtsbttr
Cheer up, Andy VanBroGarden!
Can MGMT 'revive' their careers?
Is Andrew VanWynGarden depressed?
Do u think MGMT is 'happy' or 'sad' on the inside?
Do u think KIDS.mp3 is the best indie song of all time?
What is next for MGMT?
Is Andy VanWyny a total QT?
Do u have any advice for depressed members of buzzbands?
Are depressed ppl in buzzbands 'effing spoiled'?
Would u ever be depressed if u were in an authentic/well-monetized buzzband?
Ryan Gosling has been trying 2 break into the indie music scene for a while now. He had a buzzband called 'Dead Man's Bones' that wrote spooky songs, and has often showed up to bronoodle with high-level indie bands like Grizzly Bear. It seems like he has finally found 'the magic formula' for getting authentic blog press: Show up 2 a music festival, get shot 'sidestage' by an artsy fartsy Terrence Malick snuff film, and have every1 on twitter tweet abt u because u r more interesting than all of the buzzbands at the festival and every1 is dehydrated+on drugs+ wanting to make it seem like they were 'relevant' instead of just buying $500 three day passes to sit in a dust storm for a weekend while they had spotty cell phone service.
Ryan Gosing was 'without a doubt' the best buzz human at FunFunFunFest, shattering records for twitter buzz, ending up on gossip blogs, microtumblr blogs, and twitpickies. Anyone who say him was immediately transported to buzz heaven, and any woman who touched him immediately 'creamed their panties' then cried [via the Notebook].
Anyways, here are a bunch of creepy stalker pix of him that ppl took, then posted on the internet to brag abt how special they are because they were 'near a famous person.' Maybe they should just move to LA so they can start wiping ur ass with mid-level celebrities.
Is he the hottest BB in indie?
Is he 'indie' or 'failed indie' or 'mnstrm'?
Does he make ur panties creamie?
I can do anything
I can do anything
I can do anything I want
Just want to sneak in2 a relevant music festival
Without paying for tix
2 see my fave indie buzzbands
for an entire weekend
Wish there was some sort of 'free' music festival
so I wouldn't have to 'steal'
potentially go 2 jail
Gonna jump the fence
make a 'run for the crowd'
Avoid paying
save tons of money
sorta like switching 2 Geico [via car insurance]
'Jesus'
'Didn't really work out.'
'Fucked.'
'So is my girlfriend.'
'I hope we don't go 2 jail.'
'Shit.'
Slamming their ass to the ground
taking this opportunity 2 'beat some1 up'
crush some1's skull
'accidentally' kill some1
but if I am on trial
I will explain the situation
saying 'I was working at the music festival,
which made me a property owner
I had the right to kill any1 who trespassed against us
[via the Our Father Prayer].'
Sorry bro
Not on my watch
I'll see u
in the slammer
Just bc u have a punk lil leather jacket
doesn't mean
u transcend society
via 'punkwave' lifestyle
ur just a buzzband fan
like the rest of us
and if u wanna enjoy buzzbands
ur gonna have 2 pay 2 see them
just like the rest of us
Have yall ever jumped a fence at a relevant music festival?
If ur attending a music festival and some1 jumps the fence, do u feel like u have the right to tackle/apprehend/murder them?
When will a fence jumper get murdered' by security?
Should music festivals used 'barb wire' /electric fences to protect their consumer experience?
Oh Ariel
I'll nvr forget that time u wore a cute man purse on stage [link]
It seems like u r evolving into an indie fashion icon
with ur bloggable looks
It seems like a 'rich and famous designer' will soon be inspired
by ur brand and ur music
and make u wear the exact same clothes that ur wearing right now
except they will be 'expensive'
and they might doll u up in makeup.
U look keut, Ariel
want to know more abt ur inspiration
What inspired u to ride the floral print wave?
Do u believe that couch fabric is the future of fashion?
Sorta just wish I had a chill AZN bro to chill with
crush some bass lines 4 me
Oh Ariel
U crushed it
emotionally singing in2 the crotch of the saxophone bro
wish I knew how to play sax
so I could hear ur voice resonate in my peenal region
Is Ariel Pink a 'fashion icon'?
Is Ariel Pink's 'live show' a 'must-see-festival act'?
Will Ariel Pink place in the Top 5 in the Album of the Year race?
Do yall <3 ur h8 Ariel Pink?
I'm the lil clown bro
I'm sad
even though I'm a clown
I'm not happy
Know this is making u laugh
U think I'm funny
not just because of my clown costume
face paint
my small 'little person' stature
Maybe in a way, we're all clowns
We're all fools
we all make some1 laugh
4 all the wrong reasons
U think I'm funnie?
Funnie how?
Like my life is a joke?
Everything I believe in is stupid?
I am just selling out 4 money
Making an ass out of myself every goddamned day?
Life is tough
and u think ur better than me
go ahead and effing laugh
I'm just gonna drink this Ice Cold Tecate Tall Boy
Stop laughing @me
Life's not a joke
I'm a real person
I'm not just an effing lil clown
I'm just trying to make a living
making ppl laugh
sorrie if I accidentally bummed u out
Wish I could make u laugh for all the right reasons..
I'm the lil sad clown bro
Maybe there's a lil bit of sad clown inside of all of us.
Maybe life will nvr get better.
Maybe it won't.
I don't effing know.
Just trying to make a living
make my parents proud
make ~$40k/year and have a highly relevant job
just like u, me, and every1 we know
Goodnite moon.
I did my best.
Love always,
#sad_lil_clown_bro
