WILD BEASTS? Heard it already
Recently in previously reviewed blog Pablo Bunny, Mr. Baker set praise for his new favorite band Wild Beasts. Pablo Bunny claimed this band "immediately impresses" but only pressing feeling we get is that that we've all heard this sound again and again and again. I could create a genre just for this post-punk Strokes/Arctic Monkeys sound mixed with high falsetto and lofting voices. For the exact same sound just see British Sea Power, Athlete, Editors. On second thought, just see every other band that's coming out of England right now, because they all sound exactly the same. Congratulations Mr. Baker you've discovered water.

Don't Listen to this Band
This band is called SEXUAL EARTHQUAKE IN KOBE, the bio from their purevolume page is:
a teenage-electro-pop band which likes hip hop and emo from Lille , France... we just want to play gigs with girls tits
seriously they are awful, but they are built on a strong foundation of french sexuality

FROM THE UNKNOWN
Time for another visit around the globe for the most untouchable music,
This trip we visited the lovely country of Turkey
2B11 is a psychedelic alternative rock band from Istanbul, that is somewhat good. I would recommend the first track "Oluyorum" and the first track only

Blog Review
Pablo Bunny (click to read)
Rating: 4.2
Rating: 4.2
In the age of the blog, where biases and pretentiousness can be expressed with merely the click of a mouse, it can be hard, even impossible, to set your blog apart from the thousands of other equally douchebagish (that's right, I just made up a word) blogs. That being said, some sites have managed to present halfway decent material and insight for us select few who are lucky enough to be able to appreciate the subtleties of good blogging and indie music. Unfortunately, Pablo Bunny is not one of those blogs.
Let's start with the title of the blog itself. This childish play on the 7th greatest album of all time (the previous six being every one of Radiohead's next releases) is borderline sacrilege. How dare you Chris Baker for making a mockery of the greatest band to ever walk the planet. Baker's half-hearted attempt at creating a clever title for his so-called "indie" blog will undoubtedly turn off anyone who has ever finished OK Computer and thought they may have heard the voice of God.
Pablo Bunny's first post was a track by the blogs author, Chris Baker. Talk about derivative. This poorly produced track rips off everyone from Lou Reed to Mozart, and everyone in between. I guess someone forget to tell Mr. Baker that all the creative band names were taken ever since Clap Your Hands Say Yeah hit the scene with their hilariously clever moniker. "Yig Yig." Really? Get Real.
On day two of this train wreck of a blog, Pablo Bunny posts a hardly news worthy mp3 of the San Francisco hipster favorites, Deerhoof, covering the Beatles White Album classic, "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill." Pablo Bunny then goes on to claim that the Deerhoof version is superior to the original Beatles version. That's right folks, the geniuses over at Pablo Bunny think that Deerhoof are better than the Beatles. Enough said.
Recently, rumors have been swirling that this poor upstart blog will begin covering other pop culture outlets such as news and fashion. On one hand, Pablo Bunny could not possibly report on music any more poorly, so maybe they should try other ventures. On the other hand, does anyone really want to hear anything more from the all-around awful blog, Pablo Bunny? The answer is undoubtedly: no.

FROM THE UNKNOWN
hey so apparently circa survive is actually well known, this was actually really cool to find out, I literally just went searching around purevolume and was, or so i thought, looking under the category of unsigned artists. I literally randomly clicked them in a long list and it turned out they were good/ and recognizable. The next choice will be assuredly unknown. At least we know we have a strong hipster audience.
Today's choice:
DJSAGUI
Electronica/ Techno / Trance from Brazil
For a video of him mixing see here

Welcome to the Hipster Doucheblog
Hello and welcome fellow pitchfork readers, music raters and general hipster douchebags. On this site we will bring you the obscure and the rare while still managing to pull off a disdainful smack at popular music. This doucheblog will also feature reviews of other indieblogs. As in regular hipster music style everything will be rated on a pitchfork scale, and will be derivative of the pixies.
