HIPSTER RUNOFF

Yall. I think the days of electro/bangers might be dying. Think that the events in this post my be some
sort of sign that 'the end is near.' It involves some of the key figures in the Electro World, and takes place on Electro Holy Ground.

Apparently at Busy P's birthday party, there was some sort of 'fight' between the Cinespace bouncers and the Ed Banger crew.

From what I have heard, there were 'members of the Ed Banger crew who weren't let into the VIP area.' Then a bouncer 'pushed' notable nitelife DJ Kavinsky and they started 2 fight.

SoMe looks 'like an angry French man' in this picture.

Sources 'in the know' told me that the 'bouncers were overwhelmed with entry levelers' who were 'mad hyped to see the Daft Punk bro, Thomas Bangalter 'play a set' live. Feel sad knowing that he is the bro on the left.

(actually thought that Daft Punk were robots)

Not sure how to feel after seeing French people 'angry' and 'fighting.'
We all just want 2 be V.I.P.s, I guess. Wish more bands would 'get in fights' so that the musicblogsphere would 'have more interesting stuff 2 write about.' Trying to do more to 'write about what is happening in local scenes.' Might have to hire 'interns' in every city in America or something.

Is electro dying?
Is Ed Banger going 2 survive the recession?
Are 'bangers' still alive?
Do I need to blog more about ______ instead of _________?
I feel like Ed Banger collective has evolved into the 'type of band that u feel alright hearing ABOUT but not actually hearing.' Think that is a result of the modern music memesphere structure.

Does any one else feel like RAVES are 'authentic music festivals'? I feel like 'music festivals' should really just become drug-fueled parties where people dress in zany costumes and entrylevel alts attempt to find meaning by listening to music/dancing/'trying drugs 4 the first tyme.'

Instead of getting 'sponsorship' from companies who are trying to reach ALTS, raves start on a grassroots level, kind of like Democratic Presidential Candidates.

Just thought I'd 'cover a rave' to bring more value 2 my blog since a lot of other music blogs cover music festivals a lot.

/DIE////////

Raves are a home for postAlts who live in purgatory. Much like myspace is a place for friends, raves are a place for zany accessories.

Yall...whats that thingie in his mouf?

Is this picture of SoMe the equivalent of seeing a sex tape with a political leader? <3 scandals <3

Kreepster of the nite///he got the most drug-fueled tuggles.

Ravers are so innovative that they have found a new way to make HEART with their fingers/hands.

'We told our parents that we were going to see The Dark Knight.'

'I shouldn't have eaten Taco Bell b4 I did ecstasy.'

Ravers are like the beta version of Modern Japanese people.

Ravers carry backpacks full of ________.

Did yall hear that _______ is gonna hire this thing as a backup dancer? He's a blessing for the alternative Economy. He is visiting from hell, after breaking through the crust of the Earth in the middle of France.

Raving is an equal opportunity experience.

My favourite ravers are the baby AZNs

What suicide girls will look like in 2k20.

You will see an altBro at every event you attend for the rest of ur life.

//part of the altBro Never dies /////

Have yall been 2 any authentic raves lately?
How do yall feel about raves?
What's the difference between an AUTHENTIC raver, and an 'alt dressed like a raver', and a 'mainstreamer dressed like a raver'?
What do drugs feel like?

Do yall know if this is going to be converted into a public service announcement discouraging people from majoring in art/design/communications? The bad thing about having a unique point of view is that u feel an obligation to learn the tools which will help u express urself. This leads u 2 art school/design school.

As the world evolves, more unique people are born, meaning more people who need to express themselves, meaning more art schools. It sux because we don't have n e 1 to do menial jobs @ McDonalds, or be accountants n e more. I wish there were less artists so that our economy would be g00d again.

Letter from a Self Aware Artist:

crls,
you're doing a great job keeping us up to date on breaking updates in the electro war and koowky azn fashions but what about art schools?
come on carleserslerers, this place is an alt factory. a place where impressionable 18 year olds become subjected to some of the most altyaltmcalts in their major metropolitan city (art schoolers confidence is rooted in both impeccably alt fashion choices and "culturedness" in fine arts and theory). the velocity of going from a mnstrmr to an alt in the freshman year of art school is unparalled. there's not even an entry level alt phase. every day spent wearing boot cut jeans and messy graphic screen printed tee shirts that used to seem cool and unique in yr florida suburb back home is a day spent not making friends at fine art schools. and let me clarify the difference between art schools. schools like saic (chicago), smfa (boston), cooper union (new york) are FINE art schools. fine art schools are tiny. they make really pretentious performances pieces and spend most of their time talking about gender roles. these are the altest art schools. there are secret cliques that i can't even tel you about because they are internet resistant the goretex on a northface jacket. these cliques are so ruthlessly hip you might never even know they exist. regular art schools, like columbia college (chicago), cal arts (san fransisco), pratt (new york), massarts (boston), mica (baltimore) are huge bro'd down schools. they all have like, 20,000 students and they're mainly made up of animation and graphic design dave mathews band white baseball cap bros, anime loving goth sluts and entry, entry level alts. their may be a dozen or so high level alts at these huge schools but they are probably there for "art theory" and only go because "they got a huge scholarship" (while the more alt fine art school in the same city didn't give them one, but they'd never admit to it for fear of losing cred). listen, i could babble on about this forever. art school is really important crlsrlsrs, ok?

What do yall know about art schools/the people who u know who r in Art School?
What's the best art school in the world?
Should I go there?
Should I study abroad?
If I get in, will I get a chance to learn Photoshop?
Should I move to Manhatty?

Can you find the alt celeb in this sea of children?
Hint: He used 2 manage Daft Punk, but then he told them that the should 'stop it with that robot gimmick' + Electroma was an overrated pile of robot feces, so they had to let him go. [unconfirmed rumor]

I read in a blog that the video for "D.A.N.C.E.' was actually a visual love letter from SoMe to the lolita he kept in a pit in his basement. [Note: SoMe does not keep young women in his basement, nor does he have a death pit in his house.]

BUT SRSLY...if ever there was a time to wear Child Predator glasses... Thnx a lot Ed Banger.

***********
"HRO, they are just having a good time. There's nothing wrong with being around young fans who like your music and identify with your lifestyle brand. You are insinuating that they are child predators, when they are just a couple of French men living their dreams. Deep down, we all want to be adored by seas of children; this is why Steve Aoki crowd surfs 300% more often in 3rd world countries."
-an informed commenter who studied 'The Psychology of Alt Celebs' in College

BUSY P designed this shoe so that you can look kute, interesting, and 'in-the-know.'

Is ur life finally complete and meaningful now that Justice's manager and the mind behind Ed Banger Records has designed his own Nike Air Force 1? He has truly captured the essence of 'banger' in a shoe.

HIGH SNOBIETY says:

In this picture you see the "Pedro Winter" shoe, which is the right shoe. The left shoe is designed by So_Me and in fact the shoes are having a conversation, when looking at the graphics. Another highlight is the rainbow sole.

I feel like SoMe, the graphicologist for Ed Banger Records, probably just did both shoes. They both probably recognize the opportunity for a sustainable alternative symbiotic relationship.

Do you think some one will wear the Justice jackets with their Busy P dunks?
Should they have just written the lyrics to "D.A.N.C.E." on these shoes?
Is this Ed Banger's greatest creation since Uffie?
Does any one know if Daft Punk is still affiliated with Busy P?

We live in a world of tiny men in bulky basketball shoes.

I'm sure every one is familiar with So Me. He's the dude who does the ART for all things Ed Banger. So whether it's the breakthrough video for "D.A.N.C.E." or the "DVNO" video, it's pretty evident that So Me's a pretty effective artist.

Anyways, maybe you had heard about his studio show in Toronto.

Here's a picture of So Me between two portraits of Ed Banger Records' most popular act, JUSTICE.

Some could argue that SO ME is the best party & concert flier-maker of our generation

I'm one of the most critical people in the world, but is it safe to say that SO ME's work is extremely visually and conceptually satisfying?

He even made a tattoo for Uffie

Sometimes I wonder if SO ME should leave Ed Banger Records, and work for only Fortune 500 companies.

As demonstrated by the video made for Justice's "DVNO," his corporate identity skills are second to none.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_XzCR2MbrU&hl=en]

And remember that time Kanye West had SO ME make a video for him after Kanye got really into Justice & Daft Punk?

SO ME: Better Than Warhol?
SO ME: Will he ever leave Ed Banger test the market as a free agent?
SO ME: Should Pixar offer him a lifetime contract?
SO ME: Are you happy that he's not just teaching After Effects classes at an Art College?
SO ME: Will he ever make an animated pornography scene?
SO ME: Should the United Nations enact a law that only lets SO ME make graphic tshirts for the next decade?
