It is the 2 year anniversary special of HIPSTER RUNOFF Radio on Sirius XMU. It's been a long journey. Feel like I have a 'core group of fans' who enjoy the radio show and don't even know that HIPSTER RUNOFF is also a blog worth blggng abt.
Anyways, it has been a great 2 years. Really thankful that I got 2 know u. Rlly thnkfl 4 all of my bros in the Sirius HQ.
Here is an [EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE] sample from 2day's show. (Some1 will probs leak the show in the comments later.)
[MP3 Sample]
HIPSTER RUNOFF Radio Final Voicebreak via 2 year anniversary special
Listen to HIPSTERRUNOFF RADIO on Sirius XMU on Mondays at noon and midnight EST.
Do u <3 HIPSTER RUNOFF Radio?
Do u want Carles to 'bring back the podcast' 4 non-Sirius subcribers?
Will HRO podcasts in 2k11 become the most bloggable mp3s of the year?
Have u been there since the very beginning?
How old is HRO?
Is HRO abt 2 die?
What does it feel like 2 orgasm/do drugs/own a Macbook?

Plz feel free to share ur fave memories of HIPSTER RUNOFF and/or BLOG RADIO on Sirius XMU.
A while ago I posted a 5 minute mix by Aeroplane. Feel like 5 minutes is all I really have time 4, not really sure if I could concentrate on a mix for a long time. Wonder if Girl Talk made it impossible for alternative people to listen to a 'DJ mix' where a song spans longer than 35 seconds.
Enjoying this latest BBC mix by the Twelves. Sorta reminds me of the glory days of electro. Seriously would have listened to this during my bloghouse altbro prime. Really enjoy the Twelves. Sort of like an underrated electro duo without a brand that is as strong/over-the-top as some of the LosAngelesians/French, but probably 'more enjoyable' as listenable music. Think they are from Brazil. Not sure if they are 'rich Brazilian kids' like C.S.S.

Don't even feel like anything I blog about even matters. When u hear about a story so serious, it's like all of this 'alt music and culture' stuff doesn't even matter, cuz in the end, we're all humans. In case yall haven't heard, there is a strand of the flu going around called SWINE FLU.
Always thought I would get to die of natural causes. Worried about some sort of disease that my body can't 'overcome' ending my life. Hope that I don't have to wear some protective suit for the rest of my life.
Hope that Hollywood makes some movies that capitalize on our 'fear of the unknown' kinda like when they made all of those movies about a meteor hitting Earth.
Feeling pretty human, yall.
I think that within the next year, the tone of my blog will focus on encouraging the human race to start planning a way to get off the Planet Earth before we all die [via global warming]/natural disaster.
Kinda weird when something that is 'viral' actually 'goes viral.'
From what I understand, swine flu came from Mexico because their farms are dirty.
Hope I didn't get swine flu at Coachella. I think that California is close 2 Mexico.
Please use this post to share tips on how 2 avoid 'catching' the swine flu.'
Gonna go do some research. Sorry if this post is underdeveloped. Just learned how 2 use 'google news.' Freaking out.
nvr eating 'bacon' again.

Poney Poney When Do You Want To Stop Working? (Pacific Remix)
Grade: 4.8745 out of 10 runoffs
Review: From what I understand, I am supposed to appreciate pop music from France, like Phoenix and bands like that who 'write well crafted pop, but sing in English.' I think remixes are pretty kewl, too. Think this track is 'nice to have' in ur iPod library. Need 2 blog more about tracks that are 'nice 2 have around' since they are not asking u to consider them the best song ever written. PARA ONE produced the original version of this song and Xavier DeRosnay is apparently producing their next album/produced their old stuff.

Yall. Feel stupid to ask 'dumb questions.' Weird how sometimes u just never ask certain questions because you are afraid ur gonna sound stupid for not knowing, but if u asked, u'd realize that 85% of the world was wondering the same thing as u. Our modern educational system has failed because we believe that any one who asks a question is 'an idiot' [via Nappy Dynamite voice].
but srsly.... does n e 1 know what DJs are doing when they are 'twisting knobs' and 'acting all emotional'? Like the lifeforce of a song is flowing through the knobs into their body where their soul meets their body. Wish I knew more DJ techniques. Wish my parents got me DJ lessons as a kid instead of 'piano'/'guitar'/'miscellaneous orchestral instrument' lessons. Sad that I was never talented enough to be in a band, so I wish I could at least play music that makes ppl happy.
While I am asking, can n e 1 else plz explain what DJs are doing when they 'hold 1 headphone up 2 their ear while bobbing their head and looking intently at their computer screen'? Sometimes I wonder if DJs are 'really doing anything' or if they are sort of just 'pretending to be really involved' to make sure that people don't remember that they are 'just playing music from iTunes.'
Still not sure if DJing is an 'art.' Can some1 plz tell me why we need 2 respect DJs/which DJs are 'worth respecting'? Might need to listen to more guido techno electro core house.

Does n e 1 know what these bros are doing? I think that they are in some sort of temporary space that was set up by a club. Think that this maybe be the future of clubs. Every group of friends might have a sectioned-off temporary structure, kinda like a cubicle at an office job. Maybe like the goal is to 'fit the most bros' into your limited space in order to symbolize how important ur group brand is.
I want 2 start a club and design a meaningful experience for partygoers. Totally different than what every1 is doing right now. More than just 'getting drunk and dancing.'
What are those bros doing?
These bros are
a) 'doing drugs'
b) looking at how keut they look in pix
c) circle jerking on a new album that just leaked
d) talking about life
e) getting buzzed and talking about life
f) huddling around a laptop watching 'gross internet porn' [via 2girls1bro]
g) starting a group twitter where they can post collective thoughts in 140 characters or less
h) coming up with a band name for a kewl new sound project
i) trying to come up with a myspace URL for their band because their band name was taken by a band that isn't even active any more.
j) looking up some random TV trivia on wikipedia so that some1 can 'win a bet'
k) J.B.B. (just being bros)
l) trying on some clothes at an Am Appy yardsale
m) participating in a meaningful photobooth session [powered by a B-rate party pix website]
n) Choose Your Own Response
Just kinda weird how if u think about 'space' it's just a series of boxes that people can either be inside of or outside of. Weird that 'property' even exists. wish there was no such thing as 'money' so that our economy would be okay. Just wanna barter goods and services and be happy with a simple life.

I remember in the book Lord of the Flies, there is a group of bros who get "LOST" on an island. They have no 'societal norms' and break down into tribes who go to war against one another. One tribe is 'violent' and the other one is 'all about peace.' I think it's supposed to be about how we handle being human after all with a 'lil bit of animal' inside of us.
Kinda feel like that's what's happening with altbros. Now that electro is 'kinda dead' and altbro fashion is no longer 'hip', altbros have broken down into tribes who are either peaceful (listen to conceptual core), or they have turned into violent bros, like the one above. They are hungry for blood, and they will use it as war paint / an interesting accessory for personal branding.
Kinda worried that we're gonna see more murders in 2k9 just for the sake of 'using the blood as face paint.' Just think that people get kinda messed up in the quest for authenticity to the point that they are 'murdering their bros' just because they are too insecure to wear their lens-less glasses without a hand print.
miss u altbros.

Things are changing soo fast around us. Life is a never ending quest for the best brands 2 align urself with. For example, this broad is 2x 'kewl' cuz she is double nursing these bottles of Bud Light. It is her desire to 'get f*ckt up!' and 'get her partie on.' Have yall ever 'had 2 much 2 drink' just because u were 'desperate 2 have a good time/make a nite meaningful'?
Is ne 1 else unsure of how authentic a beer like BUD LIGHT can be since it was already branded by ______ people?
Should I invest in Miller Light? Is this picture supposed to 'look like that 1 portrait of the Virgin Mary', in order 2 appeal 2 Mexis.
Does n e 1 know any good 'microbreweries'/authentic moonshine makers that are located in the conceptual forest?
Has any1 tried mescaline? Should I just make a gallon of mescaline serum and 'go 2 the desert for 1 week'?
is it still authentic to 'get fuckt up'?

I have been having the same dream over and over again. I am at a music festival, jammin out to my fave bands, and then there is this boom, and then this cloud, and then I can't breathe.
Are yall having any recurring dreams?
Tired of having nightmares about terrorists attacking music festivals. Don't want 2 die [via dirty bomb]. h8 terrorists. H8 how they just want me 2 fear places where I am totes comfortable. Wish they could just 'chill' and see how it's kinda fun 2 be a WesternWorldBro/consume a lot of crap that makes you more interesting.
Afraid of the world ending, yall. Afraid of dying. Afraid of being alone. Think these fears are all kinda related.
[Photo by The friend attack]
I know a lot of times, I joke about 'offing myself', but I'm kinda scared-er than ever. Just heard Barrack Obama tell the country that we're in a Great Depression. Kinda feelin' depressed already. Heard there is gonna be a stimulus package that will help me pay rent for a month / buy blow / rent an AZN for a year.
Not sure if we're gonna make it out of this 1. There's so much bullshit in the world right now. Gossip blogs. Terrorism. Snark. These are all a product of the devil. Yall need 2 be prepared for The Rapture (not the band). I'm kinda afraid of dying. Not sure if n e 1 else is. Sometimes I think about what I want 2 do when the world ends. Will I kill myself right before it ends, or will I die doing something meaningful, like hanging out in a club, or 'cumming with some1'... what do yall think yall are gonna do when the world ends.
Are yall stocking up on anything for the Depression/Rapture of 2k9? Kinda regret electing that ObamaBro. Seems like he's already messing a lot of stuff up for all of us. Everything was okay 1 month ago--don't see how it got so bad. Pissed off right now. My dad lost his job so they had to sell my Prius.
I'm just sayin, yall. Get ready. Yall though the electro wars were bad. They were nothing. Think God wants to cleanse the mainstreamers off our earth. Might be a good thing--but maybe GodBro wants 2 get rid of every1.
CAN SOME1 PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT THAT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT OUR WORLD? MIGHT NEED MORE ANTIDEPRESSIES/ANTI-ANXIETY MEDS 2 make it thru the month.
This post is a cry for help.

Life used to be simple. Life used to be about bloggable mp3s. I used to be an mp3 blog. I used to be allowed to 'like music' and 'get gimmick excited about it.' Do yall think there's still room for HRO to enjoy music, or am I too alt to enjoy music? How long have yall been reading HRO? Do yall remember when it was about the music, in the mainstream days of blog haus? Will HRO recover, discover 'love' and authentic appreciate for music again? Or is HRO just some lookbook childpredtroll bro?
Kinda worried. Just want 2 get authentic. Do yall think that 2k9 will be all about 'the best electro rising to the top' or will there be an electro backlash? Do yall still enjoy blog posts that focus on one artist? Have yall heard any good new music lately?
This is a song by Vega that reminds me of my 'glory days.' Back when I used to post Lifelike remixes or Breakbot songs and be excited.
These may or may not be the last days of bloggable electro. (WTF is 'electro'?)

Happy Martin Luther King Day, yall (to all yall blipsters and non-blips). I had a great day off and spent some time using wifi in Central Park. It was kinda meaningful, but my battery eventually died and I 'got a lil depressed' about how wireless internet is 'forever' but battery power is not 'forever.' Hope Apple solves this problem in the next Macbook.
Moving forward, I just wanted to talk about what a great guy MLK was. He seemed like a pretty passionate bro. Think he learned about viral marketing/community organizing/political activism from Gandhi. Unfortunately, these tactics would not work in the modern world. U have to be able to 'use the internet' 2 convey 'what ur all about' by building websites/socialnetworks/twitters/other gimmick web communication services.
I sort of wonder if Barry Obama 'could have made it' before the internet existed to proliferate memes. I'm just saying, yall. MLK JR is a true bro. Not sure if Obama will be able to go from 'being a viral meme' to actually 'leading a nation.' If yall think about it, it would kind of be like electing Tay Zonday 2 office. U need to be more than just an 'internet celebrity' to lead our world. There's more to life than Choco Rain Peanut Butt Jelly Time vlog candy vimeo youtube memes.
Sorry 2 get political on yall, just want u 2 realize that the internet has changed the way that we consume the world. Hope that our 'economy' gets better. What do yall HOPE 4?
SPARKS?
or OBAMMY?
Should we still be 'hoping' now that the campaign is over, or do we still need 2 'hope'? Just wondering. Kinda confused. :-(

Last year, my first mp3 post of the year was Ladyhawke. Kinda makes u wonder why HRO keeps 'mp3 blogging.' I am just searching for 'the next relevant sound' to align my personal brand with for the next _ months.
HERE WE GO MAGIC is a band from Brooklyn, the home of most successful/authentic bands. The song is kinda 'lofi' and 'earthy.' Here is the band's ABOUT ME description, and I think they sound 'earnest about their conceptual existence/experimental sound project which unfortunately is classified as mainstream 'music'' to emerge as the world's next Grizzly Bear / Animal Collective:
here we go magic's first record was recorded by Luke Temple, it is a project based on non editing linear movement. He made it quick and with a very limited palate of equipment. It has many layers and is best experienced with head phones or in a car.It is also important to note that there was no electronic looping of any kind involved in the more "song" oriented numbers on the record, it is important to say this because there is an in-perfect breath that might otherwise go unnoticed. He feels it has good energy and emotion and hopes you do too. Now, the seed of this recording has sprouted a band consisting of Luke: guitar, synth,vox Baptiste Ibar:bass,sounds Peter Hale:drums, sounds. The band is becoming it's own thing. We feel that the name"here we go magic" implies freedom to re-create and that is the main purpose of this project. we hope you enjoy. Luke,Peter,Baptiste
(The parts in red make their band organically authentic/gimmickable for 2k9 and beyond.)

We are the children of the street
The cool air lifts our spirits
It is almost winter again
This means cardigan weather.
When I walked out the door
my parents gave me a look
confusion
shame
resentment
I will channel these into my art
I will take my personal brand to the next level
I will prove that there is a reason that I am the way that I am
This bro is me.
Do not smile at the camera
This ruins our collective brand
Gaze

Have yall heard n e 'relevant' music lately?
I heard there is no new music in December because people don't want to be left off prematurely published 'Best of 2k8' lists/forgotten about in 'best of 2k9' lists.
My playlist is kinda meaningful. Hope yall like 'indie' and 'lectro.' I will colour code it. Red = Mainstream. Blue = 'alt-ish.'
Do I have 'good taste in music, yall?
Or do yall want my boss's email addy 2 tell him 2 'fire me'?
Should I podcast?
//Just trying 2 appeal to the emerging malstream demographic.
Are yall excited that I get 2 half-ass a post every Monday morning about what I play on my Satellite Radio Show?

On a scale from 1-10, how authentic was my playlist?
What would u do if u had a radio show?
Would u play Tom Green songs//buzzbands that have only existed for less than 1 months?
Hey yall. I got a Satellite Radio show. If yall drive cars with leather interiors, yall can listen 2 me. It's a great opportunity 4 me 2 take my 'blog brand' 2 the next level, and get a lot of people to read my blog who don't even know what 'weblog' means. Yall get 2 hear me talk. Most of yall won't.

Does this mean I have better taste in music than u?
Is my radio show just a meme?

Are yall 'excited 4 Carles' or 'kinda disappointed' or 'a lil jeal' or 'h8 u'?
