Back to SUPER groups

If I had to pick a close 2nd to Them Crooked Vultures, it would be The Dead Weather.

Pleading Neo-Gonzo journalism, I shall now cite WIKIPEDIA!!!:

The Dead Weather is an American alternative rock supergroup formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 2009. Composed of Alison Mosshart (of The Kills and Discount), Jack White (of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs), Dean Fertita (of Queens of the Stone Age) and Jack Lawrence (of The Raconteurs and The Greenhornes)[1],

We already know how I feel about Miss Mosshart. Likewise, I think Jack White is a genius. A creepy genius who likes taxidermy-raccoons but a genuis NONETHELESS! I love that he switches it up as the drummer in this SUPER group and Horehound, as a whole, is a great album. It's like a spooky, garage-y, at times goth, blues, rock and roll joint. It's absolutely filthy. I love it.

On a side note, I feel like they should start making SUPERs of other things besides bands... like super CHEESES: Get Brie and Buffalo Mozzarel and Aged Smoked Gouda together and say like HEY we're a new SUPER cheese, rehearsals are on Thursdays! Our new SUPERcheese name is The OOC RIDICULOUS.

I would buy that cheese's album. Fo sho.

Vanilla Ice and girls in camo on a stage in Erie, PA on a Thursday at 9 pm

The aforementioned would be a "Block Party."

I would like to talk about Bloc Party because unlike the already aforeaforementioned it makes me want to dance. My friend Julie brought them to my attention a few years ago and I saw them royally dominate Lollapalooza a few years after that. Citing influences such as The Cure, Joy Division, Song Youth and Radiohead I'm not shocked I like them. Plus they're British. Sooooo.. Cute, funny accents and stuff...

(ps - go back....Not that it wasn't cool when Vanilla Ice performed Ninja Rap and invited Northwestern PA's finest women on stage to shake their muffin tops... that actually entertained me.)

Silent alarm is one of my favorite albums and this is one of my favorite songs:



I don't know where the hell they went though I'm worried they broke up... No one has seen or heard of them in like 2 or 3 years. I feel like putting them on a milk carton just to make a point.



sorry for partying.

Showing up in the 4th quarter

So I really like Local Natives. They're very cool, very harmonious and L.A. and it makes me happy. But I also didn't know who they were like 6 months ago. My friends played Gorilla Manor for me at Happy Hour in the Fall and I had a few other credible persons tell me to check them out...Time out and P.S. If there's one thing that's disgustingly UN-hipsterlike it's being tardy for the party (I hate you Kim Zolciak. You stop singing immediately!!!! I hope your babies look like monkeys....)

You like that Romy and Michelle jawn? I thought you would...








lol.

"I'm Marina. You are the Diamonds"

I really regret not seeing Marina and the Diamonds when she came to World Cafe Live last year....

Marina is like a new wave, more vocally-blessed Gwen Stefani vomitting up a florescent, checkered flock of seagulls. She doesn't give a *WHAT!* either. I feel like she could hang out with me and my girlfriends from home and get super weird and creep around the bar with us telling people she's going to KUNISSS them and waving her arms like Black Swan wings. (What? It's super fun....)

Marina would be down. Love her. When asked in an interview to describe her fashion style in three words, Diamandis said "vintage, cheerleader, cartoon." - Proof that pop music can be for hipsters.When it's pop music that likes to get WEIRD.

Things that I should have just crammed into the GLEE post...

Since you have now been officially made aware that I do have a tiny centimeter of a gay man in my musical taste buds (that's what she said?)

(what?....sorry.)

But anyways, like I said, since you already know I'm a fucking nerd I might as well get all the skeletons out of my closet right meow:

I HEREBY ENJOY THE FOLLOWING!!!

1.) ALL SONGS BY MUPPETS!!! Jim Henson thank you for poisoning my mind with your furry, satirical little monsters. You are by far my favorite puppeteer. I used to wait tables with a guy who had a Muppet tattoo of all the Muppets that took up his whole leg and I played in a band with a guy who had created his own "muppet"-esque tv program that he recorded with his (now) fiance. So don't act like I'm the only person who loved Muppets. It's not that creepy. Actually you're some kind of sick pervert if you DON'T like Muppets. Suck on that.

And honestly it's sad because I know all the words to these songs in the place of other important things like capitols of nations and when wars were and where I left your hoodie. This especially sucks since hipsters are expected to read obscure books and magazines in order to effectively KNOW everything... ugh! No time...

2.) SHOWTUNES

When I was in high school I wanted to go to college for musical theater and I think my parents laughed at me and told me to get a real job, which, you know, didn't really happen anyways....






3.ANYTHING FOR SELENAAAASSSSS (R.I.P, girlfriend)





Hmm maybe I'm embarassing myself now?

...are ya listenin'? In the lane, American Apparel tights are glistenin'

When you're listening to a song and the description of said song reads "epic (demo) track from the hottest Brooklyn electro duo of the moment" you are for sure genetically half hipster. Especially if you just read that on Pitchfork. Yep. Dirty hipster.Your indie-fashions-wearing mother hung up her ironic messenger bag and her non-black fedora, sold out, married your number crunching, bald, tax-filing father and they had you. Congratufuckinglations.

Don't try to turn this first track down because the distortion is intentional (oooooooh - ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, cue hipster salivation). In other news, sorry I'm not sorry I like Sleigh Bells.
