I saw this picture of MXMW [aka Marc By Marc West (Jacobs)], and I couldn&#8217;t help but wonder if I should strive &#8216;2 b a lil bit healthier&#8217; on the inside and out.  Whether it&#8217;s getting a SpongeBobSquareLeggings tattoo, or starting to use the on campus fitness center more often, I wonder what I can do to improve myself in altSpirit, altMind, and altBody.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s more to &#8216;how you look&#8217; than just feeling confident about &#8216;how you look.&#8217;  Part of &#8216;looking good&#8217; means &#8216;feeling better&#8217; on the &#8216;inside.&#8217;  Should I start taking spinning/yoga/step/water aerobics courses?  Should I start going on spiritual journeys with my iPod a.k.a. 10 mile runs in the wilderness while listening to meaningfulcore albums in their entirety?</p>
<p>Will I &#8216;get&#8217; design if I &#8216;get swole&#8217;?<br />
Will my personal brand get &#8216;too mainstream&#8217; if I get too &#8216;in shape&#8217;?   Does &#8216;being in shape&#8217; mean that u want to be mainstream?<br />
Should I &#8216;get ripped&#8217; and buy a bowflex?<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/page1_1.jpg"></p>
<h5>[MXMW photo meme via <a href="http://www.pedestrian.tv/blogs/view/1462/terry-richardson-shoots-marc-jacobs-and-.htm">Pedestrian.tv</a>]</h5>
<p>Are muscles the future of the ALT aesthetic?<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/female-bodybuilder.gif"><br />
Will the perfect alt breasts be replaced by the perfect alternative pectoral muscles?</p>
<p>Definitely time 2 sell ur stock in the Kute AZN market.  :-(<br />
<img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/xinsrc_00208051621201092558236.jpg"><br />
Who is gonna bail out the kute AZN economy, yall?  h8 finance.  What does &#8216;money&#8217; even mean?  Who even invented &#8216;paper that is worth something&#8217;?  Shoulda invented &#8216;debit cards&#8217; back then.<br />
Wish I bought meth instead of the &#8220;stock market.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Muscles has &#8216;been around for a while&#8217; in blogosphere time, but it took me a while to figure out how I felt like feeling about his music.   Muscles is a dude from Australia.  His music could be classified as &#8216;overwhelming pop music.&#8217;  I usually enjoy it, but I get kind of creeped out because the vocals are so strong that they remind me of a mix of some pop band like MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE mixed with TV on the Radio.  But his songs are powerful, poppy, synthy, and dancey.</p>
<p>[MP3]<br />Muscles <a href="http://www.circlebar.org/hipster9/03%20Ice%20Cream.mp3">Ice Cream</a></p>
<p>Here is the picture that he recommends using at his myspace.  I just don&#8217;t really envision a dude in flip flops, cargo shorts, and a Mario 1Up shirt making that music.  Maybe there&#8217;s something wrong with my perspective.<br /><img src="http://b6.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01357/63/17/1357717136_l.jpg"></p>
<p>Here are some hilarious comments from STEREOGUM&#8217;s post about Muscles.<a href="http://www.stereogum.com/archives/mp3/new-muscles-my-friend-richard-and-three-scoops-of.html">[LINK]</a>:<br />
<blockquote>Muscles is a fag and he always will be. He&#8217;s just a pussy who&#8217;s running away from the scene. Fuck him.</p></blockquote>
<p>and&#8230;<br />
<blockquote> Man. Muscles used to post at an Melbourne music forum years ago, getting 15 people to his small shows in tiny bars. Good on him.<br />There&#8217;s just enough humour in his songs for some people to get it, and the brainless nu-ravers to completely miss the point. It&#8217;s really quite clever.</p></blockquote>
<p>and&#8230;<br />
<blockquote>He is one of the worst people I&#8217;ve dealt with. The fact he&#8217;s getting even a small scale of success makes my stomach turn. Stereogum, so much better music in Australia. Who turned you onto this wanker? My comments are no reflections on the music&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>I just want to know who the real MUSCLES is.  What&#8217;s that dude all about?<br />This is his album art:<br /><img src="http://i21.tinypic.com/4vfhhi.jpg"></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a video of MUSCLES performing &#8216;Ice Cream&#8217; live:<br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="jQE3KzJ_V20&#038;rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent" ></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jQE3KzJ_V20&#038;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll never understand the aesthetic that Muscles presents through the internet, but WHATEVER.  His music really takes you to a city close to BANGERVILLE, so whatever. </p>
