From what I understand, Lollypally is thrown by the bro from Jane’s Addiction. He seems to be ‘very young looking’ even though he is probably 40-60 years old. I wonder why the Aerosmith bro looks like a ’saggy pirate’ but these two old bros look like ‘healthy 32 year olds’.

Seems like a lot of people were there 2 see ‘bro bands’, such as the Leon Kings Of.

Think these shirts mean that they are ‘down 2 fuck.’ (d2f)

Not sure if Passion Pit is a ‘bro band.’ Seems like this bro is ‘a bro’, so they have possibly ‘crossed over.’

Photograph of the guy who invented ‘Cherry Garcia’ ice cream.

Was standing in the VIP photo pit, and turned around. Saw some sweet ass underboob, and said a prayer to the Am Appy Gods 4 inventing that tube top. Has helped me see a lot of alt tit + nip slips.

‘Just chillin. Bein a fleet flox. Playing festival tunes.’

Is it still alt 2 listen 2 the song ‘A-Punk’ or is in mainstream since it is now utilized in movie trailers?

Hangin out, playin a music festival, holding ‘wacky instruments’ up 2 the microphone 2 achieve wacky effects.

Do u think that ur first festival experience is always ur most meaningful festival experience?

Matt and Kim.

Feels like Woodstock when bros ‘get naked’ and ‘put mud on their cocks.’ Heard that if u use mud, u won’t get an STD, and the chance of ‘pregnancy’ is reduced by 67%.

Seems like the look of a bro who felt guilty, yet proud that he couldn’t wait in line to use a port-a-potty, so he just ‘crapped behind a bush.’

Overall had a lot of fun. I find out about a lot of new bands at music festivals. Don’t really use the internet for ’sampling/stealing’ tunes like most people. I just like to wander around public spaces, and see how people react to music in a live setting. Usually the most crowded stages are the best bands.

Is Lollypally mnstrm?
Would u rather go 2 Pitchfork Music Festival, Lolly, or a Chicago Bulls game?

All music festivals I have ‘covered’

Video: LCD Soundsystem – New York I Love You, But You’re Bringing Me Down

This meaningful music video is actually a guerrilla no wave viral video which was the first 1 ever produced by the DFA Records video intern. With a $1000 budget, they were able to create an easy meme that invaded some of the world’s most meaningful music & NYC-centric blogs in the entire world. At the end of the video, James Murphy creeps out from behind a rock. U should just skip 2 that part, and then go back 2 bed and keep dreaming of having the opportunity 2 ‘love NYC, but have it bring u down’ when u finally get 2 move there. I think Kermit the Frog is a metaphor and James Murphy being the puppeteer is a metaphor about electro music. (But I didn’t go 2 film skewl).

Video: Metronomy – A Thing For Me

Metronomy extends their concept-core brand with this concepty video. This is the kind of video that could have ‘made a big splash in the 80s/90s’, but since it exists in the 2K0s, it will be ‘just another meme’ to most people since they don’t know the difference between art, design, and memes. But yeah, pretty interesting. I would give it an A+ in my visual media course which I am currently teaching at a Liberal Arts College in the Northeast United States.

Video: Beach House – Used to Be

This video takes place in a motel in ‘the middle of nowhere.’ They man and woman from the band are wearing ‘authentically thrift’ clothing. It kind of reminds me of the video an altbag+altbaguette couple would make if they had to ’show their relationship in a 4 minute video.’ They are standing around, not necessarily being interesting, but looking interesting in a 29 year old alt who is still [powered by his parents] kind of way.

Video: The Guy from Vampire Weekend singing some ‘authentic punk songs’

Does n e 1 who reads this blog ‘get’ punk? Not really sure if it’s meant 2 appeal 2 my ears, or if it was just music that ur supposed 2 like only based on what it represents and the contexts in which it is played, as opposed to actually having any sort of aural attraction to the song.

Video: The Jousteeces – D.A.N.C.E. Y.A.L.L. (Live on Jimmy Kimmel)

Remember 2k7? Remember when this meme/gimmick meant that electro+dance music was gonna go mainstream?

HAVE YALL SEEN N E CONCEPTUALLY SATISFYING MUSIC VIDEOS LATELY?
ON MTV?
OR ON THE YOUTUBE?
OR ON THE PITCHFORK.TELEVISION?

N e ways, have yall heard about Vampire Weekend? They are pretty buzzworthy. I think I saw them on MTV/in a respected online music magazine/saw them on a mainstream late nite talk show.

Who would have thunk that the first time I would listen 2 Vampy Weekend would be [via Teenagers Remix]?

Remember the time that Vampire Weekend was on that magazine cover? [link to my expert analysis]

Fortunately, NME compiled a list of bands that have kept America c00l.

According to NME, these r 25 bands that r ‘making America cool again.’ I think they got some of them wrong.

HRO [EXCLUSIVE] BREAKDOWN
1 Vampire Weekend - is it Alt to hate them? or is it alt-er to transcend ‘hating them’? or is it alt-est to pretend you don’t really know who they are?
2 Lil Wayne - filling the quarterly demand for a rapper that it is [highly regarded] as being historically significant by white people who like to pretend that pop-rap is an important reflection on the social evolution of African Americans that they feel tolerant about ‘identifying with’
3 Glass Candy - a band making your electroblog authentic again/ 1 band with the #1 MILF in alt music
4 Kings Of Leon - I have heard 1.5 of their songs. They will probably be around forever and I will never give them a chance.
5 MGMT – Please direct your attention to this post about why uninteresting people think they are supposed to like MGMT.
6 Spank Rock - 1 post-post-ironic sex-core think-piece rapper. If I were a black person, I would h8 him for ‘making fun of us and thinking he is s00 smart/artsy.’
7 TV On The Radio - I think they would choose to be from another country if they had the opportunity, since it would make them ‘more authentic.’

8 Boy Crisis – with a name like that, they are probably going after the market of people who like to say ‘GIRL TALK’. But SRSLY…who is that?
9 Black Kids – 1 band that I will never learn the difference between them + The Cool Kids
10 Holy Ghost Revival -Is this HOLY GHOST! or some different band?
11 The Hold Steady - for some reason I think this band is from the emo-era of 2k0
12 Fleet Foxes - Am I not a good American if I haven’t bothered to look into finding a way to appreciate them? Does n e 1 know if they are meaningful? Or are they one of those post-2k8 semi-meaningful-authentic bands that probably should have come around in 2005 so they wouldn’t be cannibalized by blogs. (Being cannibalized by bl0gs only works for electro-ish artists, but they aren’t expecting to get paid.)
13 Amazing Baby - Have they been blggd abt? They might as well be a local band that I ignore.
14 Jay Reatard - He has an interesting name, but otherwise, I shouldn’t know who he is. Does n e 1 know if he is retarded IRL? Is that his stage gimmick?
15 HEALTH - I wonder what these concept bros are up to. Is there a HEALTH backlash after 2 many remixes?
16 The Cool Kids - 1 band that I will never learn the difference between them + The Black Kids
17 Black Lips - Do they sing the song about Hurricane Katrina? Are they one of those bands like NO AGE that sux, but ‘people appreciate them’?
18 Yo Majesty – With that kind of name, they are either an overweight black rapper, or a UK ‘highly regarded’ retro-ish band
19 White Denim - another band that high-end alts acclimate themselves to since GVB enjoys them. I <3 the power of the gorillvsbear. It’s cool because I have been GVBed, therefore, I am significant.
20 Telepathe - Sounds like they are from France.
21 Iglu & Hartly - Huh? They must have gone to high school with the magazine editor.
22 Chester French -Who?
23 Girl Talk – I wonder if he’d be bigger if he was from France/Japan? Based on the fact that he is on this list, it means that he is America’s #1 DJ. R u comfortable with that? I’d rather have him representing us in the DJ Olympics instead of some guido/eurotrash d-bag playing tacky thump-house music.
24 The Death Set – they probably have a ghey logo/ gheyer fans
25 Grace Jones - Is that the woman who looks like she is made out of plastic/used to be a mummy?

If NME really wanted to help rebuild America’s image, they should have written an article that declared ‘all other countries bl0w/r full of inauthentic ‘fggts’.’

I don’t even believe in ‘countries’ any more, yall. Borders = s0 2k7. I feel like we’re all just citizens of Blogville in the United States of the Alt-Internet. It doesn’t matter where n e 1 is even from… I just want a free mp3 and I want to see ‘the next big band’ more than 6 months before they are ‘big.’

America is fine. We just need to find a way to make sure that ________ ends up as the President. I heard he is going to lower the legal ______ age for entry level alts/lil alts. He will also pass an electro-tax that is meant to give money to myspace bands. They are also in talks to distribute a copy of Ableton Live to every single child in a public school.

If NME wants to help America get a better image, they need to start at the ground level. They need to get kids portable hypemachine players to replace their iPods/satellite radios. Our generation is lost. We just need to work for the future, and focus on alt-lectro education. That’s the only way to win THE WAR ON lofi/garage/cockrock/fggtcore/meaningfulcore/underwhelming-indie TERROR.
