Hey! It's my random google pic! I'm glad someone likes it.

It could be a little tighter (and he seems to be somewhat of a Springsteen nostalgist - I'm a post-USA guy), but otherwise an excellent piece.

TommyRoss said:

I actually thought specifically of you when I typed up his name to see if you'd catch it.

Well done.

Nobody should ever wear an Offspring shirt.

But I'll bet in about 10-12 years kids will be buying them because it will be cool to pretend you like them, in a cheesy, poser sort of way.

I've noticed that all the guys are dressing exactly like Bob Dylan these days:



The slim, tapered pants, sunglasses, frizzy hair, etc. A couple of years ago, all the kids looked like The Ramones, and now it's Bob.

My goal for 2007 is to gain entry into MisShapes on Saturday night.

If I can do THAT, then I'm guaranteed to pass into hipsterdom.

Every celeb has ran thru that club: Madonna, Kelis, The Killers, Bloc Party, Annie...

I WISH I was there when Stuart Price was spinning during the Confessions of a Dancefloor blitz the weekend of Oct. 20, 2005. My ass was in New Jersey (which takes away from my potential hipster points).

Now it's mostly a stand and model to spot celebs, but if you can GET IN you're still HIP.

I thought MisShapes was a Pulp song.

minneapolisgenius said:

I wouldn't be surprised if the night was named after that. Hipsters LOVE Pulp.

sextonseven said:

I just Googled MisShapes club, and one link popped up that said that Jarvis Cocker actually DJ-ed there.

I thought it was the name of the club though. Not just the night. And I adore Pulp, as you might already know, but I think that just makes me a nerd. There is a fine line.

minneapolisgenius said:

Do you love other 90s brit-pop like Blur and Elastica? If so, you are a hipster.

sextonseven said:

Blur- yes

Elastica - no

See? There is a fine line. And Pulp is not just a 90s Brit-pop band. Their last album came out in 2002, and it may be their best in fact.

minneapolisgenius said:

I like 'Disco 2000'.

Me:

Blur - no (except for the odd single)

Elastica - yes

We'll just have to listen to some Bowie and Bolan together and call it a day.

sextonseven said:

I do...and I'm not a hipster!

it says in the article that hipsters always deny being hipsters. i'm not calling anyone a hipster.... just sayin'.....

applekisses said:

Pulp isn't one of your favorite bands, is it?

sextonseven said:

well, not one of my favorites, but I do like them.

sextonseven said:

Have you heard any of their songs that AREN'T on the Different Class album though? That's their most popular, and pretty much the only one most people have heard. Not their best though IMO.

Disco 2000 is cool, although I'm sort of sick of it now.

applekisses said:

No, you have to REVERE them to be a hipster.

sextonseven said:

I did not know this. I do revere them, but I thought I was the only one.

minneapolisgenius said:

Pulp made other albums? Just kidding.

What's that song where the video is an all-star benefit recording spoof? That's Pulp, isn't it?

sextonseven said:

Like this?




Plus, I don't think I have enough retro t-shirts and bootcut corduroys to fit in.

sextonseven said:

HELLS yes!

GangstaFam said:

Have you listened to their second album yet? You've only had it like forever.

You also have to go to the gym to NOT work out: http://www.villagevoice.c...89,15.html

of course it's all a tempest in a teapot (to hell in a handbasket? i'm losing my idioms), but i've been looking up all these little appellations this morning, so i know what all you american youngsters are talking about. and i like words.

"yupster"??? kind of a younger bobo type who likes sufjan stevens & the like?

Christopher said:

Lil Bow Wow you just don't know the way you move so fast across the floor.

minneapolisgenius said:

I used to like "Come Out and Play". I've always thought of The Offspring as a band that's gonna be forgotten about....even 10 years from now

Anx said:

I second that, Johnny Cash & Public Enemy are great.

i read an article that said that people who accuse other people of being hipsters are actually the most guilty of hipster behavior, and that the persecuted parties are actually just people who were born with good taste.
