Remember when people were baffled by Natalie Portman and Devendra Barnhart being in a public relaish?
Do you think Natalie Porty makes Devendry re-enact scenes from Garden State/V For Vendetta/Star Wars?
I wonder how to classify Andy Samberg and Joanna Newsome. Andy Samberg is generally a 'mainstream bro' who 'should have been alt' but 'looked too much like a bro' but still 'had zany ideas', so he built his own deceptive personal brand where every one thinks it is okay to think he is rlly funny since he knows how to use Adobe video editing software.
Now he is just a 'bro' who is 'too attached to his hair to ever cut it.'
While people sometimes try to spin that the new SNL is 'fresh' because of digital shorts that end up GOING VIRAL, I think we should all be concerned if there is an Andy Samberg era where every thing gets 'way too bro.' I think it sort of a visual/comedy version of the 'looks kute and sounds okay' theory.
I wonder what it's like to date Joanna Newsome since she has the singing voice of a spooky old woman from the year 1850. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npvSMfhjt4A&hl=en] Plus her fragile & calloused fingers probably can't tug u off on a regular basis. :-(
NEVER date a freak folker. I learned the hard way. :-(
Will SNL ever recapture the glory days? Is it cool to admit that you watch SNL in the _______ era? Who is ur fave cast member of all time? Jay Mohr? Jim Bruer? Tim Meadows? Mike Myers? David Spade before he gained 50 lbs? Is it cool to watch SNL clips on HULU, but not 'stay in' on Saturday to actually watch it?
Kristen Wiig is doing her best to break into the INDIE SCENE. First, she started dating [ALLEGEDLY] the drummer guy from the Strokes, Fabrizio Moretti [link]. Now she did some impersonation of Lana Del Rey. It wasn't really funny, and not worth watching because she is a one-trick pony who just plays the same female character over-and-over again. Just some skit that was probably written by an LDR apologist feminist comedy writer. Not sure if LDR even matters any more, or if her meme ship has sailed, so they probably should have just 'panned the eff out of her' instead of making it seem like they are on #TeamLana.
Anyways, Kristen Wiig is clearly trying to win over 'the indie-leaning blogosphere.' Next thing you know, she will have her own IFC original series [via Fred Armisen]. I have no idea why she is so obsessed with alt culture. I guess she didn't have a phase in her life where she ESSED the DEEs of random members of bands, so now she is 'catching up' at a later stage in her life.
She prob needs to leave SNL soon since she already has 'mad Bridesmaids bank' but she is probably addicted to the week-to-week buzz spotlight and watching herself do the same character over and over again that was fresh 4 years ago.
Having said that, I'd take Wiig over Tina Fey any day. Based both on looks AND comedy gimmickry.
Is Kristen Wiig 'obsessed with alt'?
Is she 'indie'?
Was this LDR impression 'good'/'relevant'?
Did SNL provide cutting edge cultural commentary on LDRgate?
Did u forget who LDR was?
Is LDR a pop culture legend, or just a meme?
Will Moretti take Wiig from Bridesmaids to bride?
While no1 cares abt Bon Iver's performance, America is left wondering 'who is the black dude in Bon Iver'?
Perhaps Bon Iver is not an indie band, but instead, some sort of movie about a teacher who teaches a group of innercity kids about how indie rock can save them from 'the streets'. Sorta like a mix between 'Mr. Holland's Opus' and 'Stand and Deliver' and 'Coach Carter' and 'Dangerous Minds.'
Does n e 1 know if Bon Iver is 'just 1 person' or 'a whole band'? Maybe it is like the Dave Matthews Band where they all take 1 guy's name and then play honky jam chime rock?
Do u feel bad for any website that ranked Bon Iver in their 2k11 Top 10?
Is their music 'beautiful'?
Who is the black guy in Bon Iver?
Is he Bon Iver?
Do u wish that u were saved from ur innercity community with the power of indie rock?
Are we living in the post-LDR era of indie where some1 has to 'go out of their way to shock us' to get our attention or else we don't care even if it is a deece performance?
Did Bon Iver 'kill it', or did they just look like random ass dudes from the woods who 'made it to the big time'?
Do u ever cry at night and listen to 'Holocene'?
Is Justin Vernon a HOTTIE HUNK BB?
Are the sounds of Bon Iver the sounds of dying indie rock?
Here is their song "Midwestern Bed'N'Breakfast' or something.
Even the most entry-level buzz market analyst knew that Lana Del Rey would COMPLETELY tank on Saturday Night Live. It happened right before our eyes like a trainwreck, except that the train was carrying tons of port-a-potties, and then everything got covered in poo-poo and they had to shut down an entire small town because of the toxic smelliness of the poo fumes, and then every1 got on twitter to say 'OMG THERE'S SO MUCH POO AND IT SMELLS SO BAD! EWIE MCGOOEY!' What was supposed to be Lana Del Rey’s introduction to Middle America turned into a nightmare, with even the lamest of lamestreamers turning to their social media network of choice to say, “Who be dis bitch, yall? She can’t sing 4 shit.” This has already been the perception of many critics, blogspots, and content farms who resent her rise to internet fame.
Where were u when Lana Del Rey tanked on SNL? It's a moment we'll never forget.
Although 'Video Games' was the song that garnered the most per capita adjusted 4 inflation buzz, the song is a 'complete dud' live. She has had many opportunities to 'fix' her live show, which leaves us asking, begging, pleading, "Why Lana? Why?"
At least she looked good, bb!
There have been rumblings that the entire team associated with the current Lana Del Rey launch will be fired. Even at her first performance at Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn where she was secretly billed as the Queen of Coney Island, she had a band that was intended to hide in the shadows [link]. There was already a disconnect between the universally projected image of LDR and her branded output. It never came together, and every1 must have been convinced that foreign press and TV appearances meant that 'everything was okay.'
This is LDR's fault.
This is not LDR's fault.
"Blue Jeans" was just good enough to be forgettable, but still sorta 'effing terrible.'
Lana Del Rey’s voice has been widely accepted as a gimmick, but her and her team never took the time to decide how it should be utilized when she was singing live. Obviously, she would have to turn down her wacky vocalisms, and learn how to gesticulate like that Florence + the Machine broad in order to make herself a viable product. Unfortunately, they just put her in a pretty dress, and figured every1 would all be like 'what a sweetheart, yall', but then they forgot that every1 just wants to h8 everything, especially when it looks like ur not trying, and u don't care.
Heads will be rolling this week on #TeamLDR....
What did u think of her performance?
Did LDR tank as hard as u thought she would?
How can Lana Del Rey save her career?
Is there too much negative buzz?
Was she 'not ready yet'?
Who is 2 blame?
Did we build her up just to 'tear her down'?
Did we 'buzz her up' just 2 'hate buzz her down'?
Is she indie's 'biggest failure of all time'?
Did she 'disgrace' the SNL stage/waste the time of Middle Americans?
Is she 'the Rebecca Black of indie'?
I guess Lana Del Rey was right... U and I... We were born 2 die...
Lana Del Rey is abt to perform on SNL with that lil Harry Potter guy. This is a commercial for the show where Lana Del Rey tries her hand at sketch comedy, telling some joke with Harry and the guy from Good Burger who has rebranded himself as a self-hating African American comic. It's only a matter of time before Lana Del Rey stars in a FunnyOrDie video. I have heard rumors that she will NOT participate in one of Andy Samberg's digital shorts because his current GF, Joanna Newsom, is incredibly jealous and resentful of Lana Del Rey's success and buzz in the indie world. Joanna Newsom's last album 'Have One On Me' tanked.
R u excited?
Is this a GREAT MOMENT IN INDIE HISTORY?
Was Lana funnie?
Does her belly button look AMAZING?
Is #LDR showing 'too much skin'?
Can she pull off SNL?
Will she 'effing tank'?
Is this the beginning of the end of the LDR buzz cycle?
Portlandia had a 'massive premiere party' because it is the most-watched show ever on IFC, so Fred Armisen has basically turned into 'the Jerry Seinfeld [via NBC]' of IFC. Anyways, there were basically just a bunch of 'alt comedians and comediennes who were trying to go mainstream there' aka 'SNL castmembers.' The only real indie highlight was a picture of indie harpist songstress Joanna Newsom 'canoodling' with her Jewish SNL funnyman BF Andy Samberg. I sorta wish I could know more abt them, or better yet, actually be one of them so I would know what it was like to be in a famous relaish. It seems more entertaining than a 'regular person' relaish where ur just bored, watch TV, then argue abt 'what'z 4 dinner'. :-(
U have 2 feel happie for Fred Armisen's success after her was dating that broad who played 'Bettie', the floozie who got preggers and gave away the baby on Mad Men because IRL she started riding Scientology waves. #TeamFred #TeamFarmisen
Do yall think they 'look happie' or will one of them jump ship soon 2 another relevant indie famous person?
There were more ppl at this partie.
Here is the guy from "All That!", which was a version of SNL for tweens, eventually leading him to star in the hit film "Good Burger."
U have to give Joanna Newsom credit for not 'going ZoZo' and doing everything she can to monetize her 'indie brand'. She's just a simple girl who likes playing the harp...
Here are some of the women from the SNL cast. They will probably all get mysteriously fired at the end of the season and replaced with equally forgettable comediennes.
Here are the non-famous SNL bros who will probably 'get canned' and end up playing a guy who gets mad at Larry David on an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm in 5 years, and every1 will be like 'SNL totally didn't use _____ right!'
Do u wish u went to the Portlandia premiere?
Does it seem buzzworthy?
Would u rather be in a buzzband or be a buzz comedian?
Is Fred Armisen at the top of the alt world?
Was episode 1 of Portlandia 'mad funnie' or 'whatevz'?
Do u wish u could canoodle with some1 who was alt famous?
Will Joanna Newsom 'take' Andy Samberg's name when they get married?
Will he force her 2 sign a prenup?
Do u dream that 1 day u will be on SNL / Portlandia / funnyordie.com?
Coldplay! Yall are AMAZING! Chris Martin honestly dances around like a FREE spirit. It reminds me of my Zumba classes, except my instructor is this mean skinny lady and one time i strained my ankle and fell over, dislocating it, and she went on with the session, and every1 stomped all over me like I was just another yoga matt.
I honestly love the new Coldplay album. They are truly at their zenith peaks. Their song 'Every Teardrop is a Waterfall' is honestly very true. Every time I cry, I just can't stop, and it is super duper sad. But then at the same time, my tears are not a waterfall compared to my heavy periods AND when I go #2 after going to Arby's. Honestly, I don't understand how something that tastes so good can go out so watery and acidy on the way out, but perhaps I have another worm embedded in my tummy.
Ugh. Gwenny Paltrow is a LUCKY WOMAN bc she gets to canoodle with Chris Martin, the #1 hottie rockstar in the world (except for Mark Foster).
Real men wear pink, bb!
I'm gonna get a Mylo Xyloto tattoo on my body when it stops expanding!
Foster the PPL is a hot new indie band that THE WORLD is FINDING OUT ABOUT. The song "Pumped Up Kicks" is my #1 jam of ALL EFFING TIME of the year.
They were AMAZEBALLS on SNL. I love the part where they whistle and when they guy has the maracas AND the tambourine! He really knows how to jimmy jangle, bb!
Honestly, it was a surprise to see them on the TV because they are so indie. They had the opportunity to HEADLINE Saturday Night Live, which is the most honored opportunity in the ENTIRE music industry. It means you are COOL, IN, NOW, and what is HOT on radios all across America. I actually used to have a dream that I would one day become famous and host SNL. I am sad that I am too hefty to be famous, but now I have hope because of the heavy lady in 'Bridesmaids' becoming all famous. I know that if I stay true to myself and I am willing to let people laugh at my rolls of fat.
Mark Foster is a Hottie McHotHot! I would let him into my panties ANY day of the week! I would DEFANATELY get wetter and creamier than alfredo sauce at Olive Garden... and trust me, that is EXTRA creamie.
OMG he pointed at the camera. I honestly believe he was pointing at me.
They are TRUE SHOWMANS, ready to put on a show for their fans. They have DEFANATELY fostered me into their people. :-D
Needless to say, Foster the Ppl #KILLEDIT and were #AMAZEBALLS. They have CONQUERED the entire music scene, indie, AND top40 radio. Their song is gonna be around for a LONG TIME, and it is only a matter of time before Mark Foster is hosting Extra or Access Hollywood, just like Mark McGrath.
I love LOVE LOVE Foster the PPL. We just watched ROCKNROLL HISTORY. I'm already buying my tix to the rocknroll halloffame ceremony for 2020 when they are inducted.
At least we got to see Thom York jimmy jangle some maracas. Otherwise, a total snoozefest.
Really boring performances that didn't translate to TV at all. Sure, they are accomplished, but u can tell that their heads are so far up their own asses that there is no way they will ever make another album that isn't more than 'branded noises'. We're witnessing the death of what are supposed 2 be 'legends', but I could find 100 myspace bands who could poop out these noises in their sleep.
Here they are on SNL playing a COOL rock n roll song that is surely gonna be a chart topper... Last week Curt Kolbain died, and every1 was sad, but I feel like the Foo Fighters have made a BIGGER IMPACT on music than Nirvana ever would have. It reminds me of when my boyfriend was in a motorcycle accident, and he went into a coma, and I had to spread my wings and get my Microsoft Office certification without him to become the office assistant I am today. #Word #Excel
Dave Grohl is HOTTTT
U look good, bbs!
Kings of Leon who? #TeamFooFighters
Kurt Cobain who? #Team_Dave_Growl
Miley!!!!! Ur so talented...
U went on the Miley Cyrus show and made fun of Justin Bieber. LOL
U look just like him, bb!
U were amazing, and you did a great job on SNL!
BB ur monologue was so true and right
BEST HOST EVER.
I wish madTV was still around so she could host that too #TeamMadTV
I thought that show was really funny but SNL usually just relies on poop jokes and lewd man jokes. Ugh. Maybe it's just because I am one of the few people on the planet who received a dick in a box from my ex on our anniversary just because he is a perv like that.
The Strokes were on Saturday Night Live, and it was potentially good, but also potentially 'hella boring.' The only real shocking part of the performance was the decision of The Strokes bass player Nikolai Fraiture to wear a sleeveless shirt. I guess maybe he is just trying to ride summer-style chilwaves. Usually members of bands wear 'jackets' and other shit that 'makes them look kewl' on stage even when they are playing on TV because they are trying to just 'look how a band is supposed to look.'
Did Nikki ruin the Strokes collective personal brand, or did he take his own personal brand 2 such great heights?
Is Nikolai Fraiture the 'most alt' member of The Strokes?
Should Nikki 'go solo'?
Here is the other song they played called “Life Is Simple In The Moonlight” which seems 'okay', but still really couldn't take my eyes off Nikolai and his sleeveless shirt.
Are sleeveless shirts gonna be 'big' this summer?
Should I wear a sleeveless shirt to Coachella?
Are tanktops 'effing dead'?
Do u have a mancrush on Nikolai?
Did he 'ruin' The Strokes brand, or will his sleeveless shirt be the alt touch that 'saves' our perception of The Strokes progressiveness/kewlness?
Did the Strokes 'crush it' on SNL? Or were they 'whatever'?
can the Strokes replace the Kings of Leon as the #1 bro band in the USA?
Are sleeves on t-shirts gonna be 'so out' this summer? [via the slarf]
Laters yall. Gotta go buy a sleeveless shirt for Southby/Coachella/Bonnyroo/Lollypalooze/_____.
Saturday Night Live is a sketch show and they have musical guests that come and play. They usually have a stage with a boring ass band, but this time Kanye West was all like 'nah. gonna have a white background yall.'
Kanye West was on the TV, and he made it all different because he wants u 2 believe he is a 'real artist.' Sorta like the same 'BS' that Lady Gaga pulls, except he is a rapper, and she just rolls around on the stage humping the ground and letting her boobies pop out. Sooo over this whole modern artist pop icon gimmick. Like 'we get it, yall. ur more than just a singer... okay, kewl. Don't care. Lemme just listen 2 u on my iPod or something instead of having to hear boring people shape their identity around taking ur seriously as an artist.'
S000 annoyed, yall.
Was really hoping Kanye West was going to stay retired 4evr, but now he is back and every1 has to cream their pants over him.
Do yall think Kanye West peaked 5-10 years ago?
Here is some other dumb performance where he brings out a bunch of ballerinas or something. At the beginning he 'pretends he is playing a synth/sampler' 2 make himself seem more authentic.
Not sure why ppl are creaming their pants over this stuff.
Totes another boring rap performance
Smoke and mirrors
boring ppl saying Kanye is 'interesting'
and just because he is 'more interesting' than honky white dudes playing guitar, he gets 'mad cred'
Feel like he should at least try to be more like Will.I.Am or something.
Is all rap the same?
Is kanye ovrrtd as an 'artist'?
Do white people try to seem 'chill' with black culture by <3ing Kanye West and Jay-Z?
Did Kanye 'fix' Daft Punk [via strongers]?
Katy Perry has large breasts, and it is her social responsibility as a slutwave artist to make sure that every1 looks at her titties in floozy-ass costumes that are supposed to 'represent her music's brand.' She went on the popular talk show Saturday Night Live--Funnie Sketch Comedy 4 People Who Are Stuck at Home on a Saturday Night.
Honestly, just 'get a kick out of' posting her live performances, because it 'drives hits' because of her breasteses. Really couldn't pass up on the opportunity to post a tittie jiggling gif to drive mad click-thru rates.
Here she is 'performing' "California Gurlz", a song abt how girls from California will basically 'give any1 a BJ' and let them 'ejaculate' on/in any part of their body that u want.
Feel like she is trying hard 2 let ppl know that she is an 'authentic artist', with a strong, powerful voice, who is more than just a 'nice set of tits' with a backing track.
Here she is singing that 1 song by Beach House called "Teenage Dream" abt what it feels like 2 lose ur virginity when ur 13 / how u can get an authentic rush when ur hymen breaks.
Is Caitie Perry is an authentic artist?
Do u think her songs are 'brilliant'?
Did she showcase that she is a 'legit artist' / 'amazing singer'?
Is Katie Perry a relevant artist who will be remembered alongside Madonna, Feist, and Fionna Apples?
Just wish I could be the guitar bro in the backing band, having to wear some cheesy costumes.
Soo much charisma

I think Saturday Night Live is all about booking mainstream indie bands as their music guests. Sort of like the final step of the buzz process where you are branded as a 'kewl underground product' that even the laggards of American society will begin to think is 'super trendy.' MGMT was on Saturday Night Live and they played "Flash Delirium" and some song called "Brian Eno." It seemed like it might have been 'inaccessible' to mainstreamers who just want to watch the Kings of Leon / Nickelback / Ke$ha get their music on when they watch Saturday Night Live. Feel like maybe booking MGMT was a 'reach' for SNL to be 'trendy', like trying to appeal to the same blog viral buzz content consuming Americans who think Andy Samberg shorts are 'funny + cutting edge.'
Should MGMT have played "Kids" on Saturday Night Live?
Sorta feel like there is a zany bro in MGMT who 'stole the show' by making tons of zany faces at the camera. Maybe he was trying to 'upstage' Andrew VanWyngarden, preparing to go solo after MGMT 'dies' / 'goes on hiatus.'
Not sure if those are 'crazy coke eyes' or just regular eyes.
Did MGMT 'kill it' on Saturday Night Live? Do u like the conceptual jam at the end of this performance?
The crazy coke eyes bro also decided to get conceptual, and play his keyboard using his guitar.
I think they had the reality show star Precious host SNL. Not sure if she brought anything funny 2 the table.
Is MGMT continuing to 'kill it'?
Are MGMT memes drying up?
R u pissed that MGMT did not play KIDS on SNL?
Are MGMT the most authentic mainstream artists of all time?
How many albums will MGMT sell in week 2?
Is the latest MGMT album 'accessible' to mainstream audiences?
Ke$ha performed on Saturday Night Live last night. Apparently she had the #1 single in America for a while, called "Tik Tok." The song is about living in Los Angeles and having a party lifestyle, so I think teens + tweens were into it, cuz she says that she brushes her teeth with a 'bottle of Jack' in the song. I think she really 'tanked' on stage. Like she should have just 'pooped' on stage, then rolled around in it for a while, and it would have been an identical consumer experience.
A lot of people call Ke$ha some sort of product that was meant to appeal to people as an after-market Lady Gaga product. Sort of like a touch pad phone that isn't an iPhone. I feel bad for her, like she has no identity. Must be hard to be a female musicians, since you can only be like 2-3 types of performers.
Not sure how I am supposed to feel about her vocals when she performs live. She seems to be a studio musician who relies on auto-tune rapping, so she probably ruins her brand whenever she performs live.
In her performance of "Your Love is My Drug", she painted her body with glow-in-the-dark paint, and made her entire backing band + dancers do the same. Probably looked 'hella tacky' on HD TV.
I wonder what it is like to be in the 'backing band' of an artist like Ke$ha. Even when her ideas suck, do u just have to 'run with them' or else you get fired? I feel like it might be the same as having an out-of-touch, tyrannical boss.
Is this the greatest performance in the history of SNL?
Should SNL stick with mainstream indie bands?
Is Ke$ha authentic?
Is Ke$ha 'better than Uffie'?
Is Ke$ha just a poor man's Lady Gaga?
Is Ke$ha sexy, or does she look exactly like John Travolta?
