Real Foot Tastes Good, The Grammar Police Is In!

Sun, 06 May 2012 01:10:00 -0400

So Grammar, spelling punctuation, usage, syntax, pronunciation. I really need a psychiatrist! Just saying all of these words makes you the life of the party, right? If you would like to be the life of the party. Simply keep your eyes and ears keen for grammatical mistakes. Everyone will love you when you correct them. It makes them feel warm and fuzzy. Don’t ever try to comment them with replying the right sentence called ‘another bull shit’ below the blog. You’re neither a cop nor a super man. I’m sure they’re gonna kill you instead of get arrested for ten years. What grammar, spelling, or pronunciation habits bug you?

Junk Food Overdose

Sun, 06 May 2012 00:59:00 -0400

You know many secret numbers which lead you into a big clown man, I’m not that funny by the way. When the other numbers also gave you unexpected joy in your guilt maybe less than 30 minutes, if you’re lucky enough to keep the things freezing in the cool box for the next day, you’re gonna eat it as a frozen shit. Yaikk.. Junk Food Tragedy that’s what I mean, great writer should know where to put a good sentence something erotic, uhh ironic. Of course 007 is not such a secret number, Bond wouldn’t come and knock your door with some burritos in his right hand and toilet papers in his left. Well, i bet your nasty life should begin when these foods are saying ‘Where the hell am I?’ inside your sexy tummy. ‘By God I ate a lot and i didn’t know how to stop this misery’, a beautiful sentence for the green level of overdose, stop torturing your poor brain people. Oh okay this is not truly me anymore, what a statement from a good looking man. Am I tottaly screwed right now? *le sigh*

COFFEE CONNOISSEUR

Sun, 06 May 2012 00:53:00 -0400

Smooth jazz songs, and a cup of dazzling caffellatte is staring at you. I’m not trying to expect you’re reading ten tips to stop feeling stressed out and upset in a coffee shop. People love coffee shops especially if you are middle class college students, as yellow as SpongeBob or as brown as Patrick Star after sunbathing in California and the cool thing I’m not kidding. Coffee shops have become outlets catering to cool people’s need to be seen by other cool people, and because things that you middle class college students love are ultimately adopted by important people as national symbol of coolness. This statement is undeniably factual. Taking more than thousand pictures and setting the best dumb pose ever that makes me strong headache on their Facebook, Twitter, BBM, I.N.S.T.A.G.R.A.M when these people were in a hopeful place called coffee shop, well yeah.

Cheer up baby, that’s not the end of the world. Always try to look bored or disinterested, this is easily the foremost component in maintaning coffee shop coolness. Order the biggest cup of the darkest coffee available making you hiper. Last but not least, don’t forget to eat your rotten Apple. People with Macs are ‘coffee shop better’ than other people. Seriously, you wouldn’t die because of these cool things. Did i miss something? The essential things absolutely. Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte, pick your favorite one and get the heaven’s taste. A vortre sante!!!

"Having a dissenting opinion on movies, music, or clothes, or owning clever or obscure possessions,..."

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:39:32 -0400

““Having a dissenting opinion on movies, music, or clothes, or owning clever or obscure possessions, is the way middle-class people fight one another for status…Hipsters, then, are the direct result of this cycle of indie, authentic, obscure, ironic, clever consummerism…It is ironic in the sense the very act of trying to run counter to the culture is what creates the next wave of culture people will in turn attempt to counter.””

Weekend Fever…

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:26:00 -0400

7 days in a week, 2 days off. Why do many people love their time for watching morning TV’s shows, cooking programs, traveling bull shit, or even a dancing stupid hag. Most people talked about their free days exclusively and let me think how old I am. Sharing their activities and just made it into a death sentence “OMG this is a Saturday Night and where’s my stocking now? Grandma are you okay?” (a girl who wants to get her first sex experience). “Is this my lingerie?” said a boy who ergggghhhh forget it! Making a party without any invitations, you know how to have fun, you just need a bitch with her big boobs and you can play it well, what? Okay my brain is getting smaller or something but I can still remember ‘Big Bang Theory’ The Big Bang was actually Chuck Norris roundhouse kicking God in the face! Who the heck is Chuck Norris? Mad Dog would kill him spontaneously with his full of shit. Actually watching some DVD’s at night makes you a beautiful dreamer, can’t understand why you are a couch potato, various Lay’s flavour on your right side and aspirin high dose on your left. First dating would be the best one, prepare your self for the ignorance or welcome to the Hotel California! Is having butterflies in your tummy a sign of being pregnant? Kinda random stupid question.. okay I wanna go to bed, Aha…! A big smile. Make your day as a ‘black’ day before finding a new red day in another black.

Bombay Bicycle Club - Shuffle

Bombay Bicycle Club - Shuffle

Bombay Bicycle Club: Shuffle-All-Day-Long.

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:22:40 -0400

I was little bit shocked when I knew the fact that they never charted in the U.S. C’mon people do we live on another green blue planet XYZ? They have improved since their first album, but they seem to struggle in finding or establishing an identity. Honestly, Shuffle is my best soundtrack while watching SpongeBob in the morning, carried along by light and lively piano that arouses the same feeling that comes about when listening to Matt & Kim. At least, it will sweep you off your feet.

Coachella 2012: 10 Highlights of Weekend 2 THR

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:17:39 -0400

1. Levon Helm’s sad passing last week has led to a few meaningful tributes to the late Band drummer: The Black Keys invited John Fogerty to join them for “The Weight,” the Cali band Dawes played “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” and guitar slinger Grace Potter dedicated her own touching “Big White Gate” to the beloved musician.

2. AWOLNATION singer Aaron Bruno took crowd surfing literally, standing atop a surfboard lifted above the audience during his band’s aggressive set.

3. “Karma Police,” Radiohead’s cathartic ballad, became even more meaningful for fans, who repeated the song’s “For a minute there / I lost myself” coda for a round of choruses after the song was over as singer Thom Yorke, uncharacteristically moved, responded with his arms wide open on stage, letting it in.

4. The heat must have gotten to Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson: mid-set, blessed with a wireless mic, he hopped off the mainstage, ran to the beer garden, and slammed back a brew before climbing the sound booth’s lattice work to finish the song high above the audience.

5. Avant-guard music love alert: Andrew Bird and St. Vincent collaborated on “Lusitania” during his Outdoor Theater set.

6. As Azealia Banks’ “212” singalong segued into a cover of The Prodigy’s “Firestarter,” fevered young hipster girls emerged very confused.

7. Pulp singer Jarvis Cocker discovered an American tradition: from the stage, he told the audience he’d just heard about “4/20”, then dedicated the next song to the marijuana smokers on the field, which, judging from smell alone, could have just been dedicated to “everyone on the field.”

8. Refused frontman Dennis Lyxzen described the last time his band had played the States before their recent, successful run of reunion shows in terms that made it sound as if they’d only toured frat parties. “We played to 45 people in a basement,” he said, before blasting into a punk tune sung along with by thousands.

9. Swedish House Mafia’s light show, from behind the stage on the way to the parking lot: a view of a firey, laser-laced apocalypse.

10. Any time the temperature dipped under 90 degrees.

COACHELLA 2012: Weekend 1 Highlights MTV HIVE

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:16:39 -0400

This past weekend, Coachella 2012 kicked off with Radiohead, Dr. Dre, the Black Keys, Swedish House Mafia and a bevy of other indie rock/hip-hop/electronic acts performing at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California. This year, Coachella expanded into two identical weekends, giving music lovers ample opportunity to see a ton of bands and catch a lot of sun doing so. Here’s highlights from the first weekend.

Call it “Coldchella,” as the audience and artists did when the festival saw record temperature lows and, assumedly, record highs in sweater sales. Trendsetter Gregg Gillis, of Girl Talk, shelled out $55 to buy one. [Girl Talk’s Twitter]

The temperature lows likely accounted for the rise in alcohol-related arrests, which peaked in 1999, since concert goers weren’t as preoccupied with staying hydrated in the chilly desert. [LA Times]

The Black Lips gave Coachella attendees an extra special set when guitarist Alexander Cole whipped out his dick and used it to strum through their last song. Sadly, it didn’t earn them an encore. [LA Weekly]

Jarvis Cocker, however, amped up his sex appeal without losing his clothes during Pulp‘s set. [LA Times]

If you guessed Mazzy Star’s tunes would carry well through the desert, you’d be right. The Santa Monica natives dazzled the crowd at their second U.S. show on this tour, on Friday night. [LA Times]

Community star and rapper Childish Gambino threw a party onstage with Danny Brown and Kendrick Lamar during his set on Saturday. [Coachella Twitter]

R&B crooner Frank Ocean performed a rocky set, after being one of the few acts throughout the weekend to make the crowd wait, and was joined by Odd Future cohort Tyler, the Creator– who also had a rough start. [Complex]

Whereas, rookie rapper Azealia Banks killed her U.S. show debut with a set list of familiar and new material and delivered a hard-hitting rendition of the Prodigy’s “Firestarter” and the Zutons’ “Valerie” in just 25 minutes. [The Boston Phoenix]

We can finally dig a grave for the Bon Iver-signifier “bearded,” which no longer applies since the sensitive woodsman shaved for his Coachella set. [Billboard]

Indie pop gods the Shins sounded divine in the desert twilight when frontman James Mercer sang classics and recent hits and covered Pink Floyd’s “Breathe.” [LA Times]

As it turns out, the 2pac hologram wasn’t a myth: the late rap star joined Dr. Dre on stage for his Sunday night set, which also brought out Eminem, 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa, and a holographic Nate Dogg. [MTV News]

Coachella’s expanded two-weekend lineup was such a draw that Indio, California’s local fire department says that 20% of festival goers will be returning next weekend, for the second installment. [LA Times]

Two Door Cinema Club : Camera… Roll…. Action!

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:12:00 -0400

Another The Strokes, I’ve got TDCC that you see, are well- versed in the recent past. Essentially three man and a drum machine, they are something of an anomaly. Their Tourist History is an infectious debut that may well devide opinion, but at least I love their songs ( I love what I am writing about some twisted topics on my blog, ‘a right monster’ or whatever you said). Cigarettes In The Theatre was the first shot for my ears.

Well, I have a friend and we shared each other’s hippy side, and I think she’s hipster enough, Gotye, Foster The People, Peter Bjorn and John, etc.., are on her playlist, until we reached at a crucial point. We had no things for sharing, when she asked me, any other TDCC’s good songs?? Oh, No dear. That’s the same question for maybe 6 weeks in a row. I should be dead for that question and you won’t see me on TV. Well, I was quite surprised when she gave me Come Back Home… Oh Gosh I thought CITT would be the best one for my ears, and should be dead for twice to know that I had been playing this song for maybe more than 20 times for 2 days ( I’m not an immortal creature) Oh, okay okay let’s find other tracks, What You Know, Something Good Can Work are good for your early morning kick start and make you ready for the next scenes of your life.

First Gadget World War : Bloody Hell, Instagram!

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:01:00 -0400

Beep.. Beep.. Beep.. (shiny red light) #TeamBlackberry Who? Me? No wonder (for the next three years? No Way). What smartphone team you are expecting to win? Blackberry? Android? iPhone? China’s fake phone? Blackberry, sets the world on fire. Android and iPhone, settle a score, on the other hand China’s fake phone take the plunge, I’m not kidding to put China’s fake phone on my list because of the fake, paying for fake stuff, people always love it. Ok, then, let’s make some reviews this hot topic in Pamela Anderson’s hot pants. Android and iPhone successfully kick the Blackberry out of the competition, and Blackberry has been forced to go to Davy Jones’ Locker by Hipster edit a.k.a Instagram, I decided to not write China’s fake phone for the next competition because I know there is someone calling 911 now. Wait, Instagram would you kiss my ass? iPhone is yours. Why do you make it more complicated, bitch! I saw you that you were in a relationship with Android on Facebook *sigh*. Who cares about Instagram, i would rather eat my own toe ~nomnomnom~

Bon Iver : Put Them On Your Night Playlist.

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 06:56:00 -0400

Am I wrong? Am I such a cruel night killer? to put them on my night playlist. It’s the sound of pop music trying to figure out what it must become in a new century, gently turning itself inside out, and showing off its gorgeous guts. Like our most beautiful dreams, it makes us pay closer attention to life. When the moon goes up and signs come out for thinking, imagining, figuring, or even remembering your last maths exam. Bon Iver’s fans, have you got a knife behind your back? (just sayin’) don’t you guys see the white flag in my pants.. I recommend you some tracks Calgary, Holocene, Beth/Rest and put them as your favorite on your iPod. Enjoy your stunning nite!

Hipster Bees.

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 06:53:00 -0400

Le sigh. It’s kind of embrassing, but some of my very first blog posts were about hipsters and so sorry for the mainstream and hipstream (hipster mainstream).

So where is home for me? In my hometown there’s an independent radio station where they might not even allow you to hear some bad songs because they want to save you from the mainstream. Who the heck I am? If I wasn’t a bee, who would I be? I’m not a father or a husband I have no particularly cool. Who and what am I? we think that we’re just a person. I’m just wondering what kind of bee I am in this beehive we call life.

The Strokes 12:51 : The Strones?????

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 06:33:00 -0400

It’s little bit different style of The Strokes. They make it new with the Daft Punk’s illusions or something. People give a freak name for the video ‘The Strones’ ( The Strokes and Tron) Ohhh, bitch please! I’m pretty sure this came out before the new tron movie. “The End Has No End” is the beginning of this video, fuckin love it and Julian, you drunk bastard!
