Radiohead... the musical?

Ride the Beast

Chris Baker Disses Radiohead, Loves Oasis

It was only a matter of time, but yet another poor soul has jumped on the anti-Radiohead bandwagon. This time it's fellow blogger/douchebag, Chris Baker, a freshmen at Brown University. This is what Chris commented to our post regarding Oasis the other day:

"If Thom Yorke really cared about global warming and such, he'd be a public servant..."

Come now Chris, did you really think we were gonna let that one slide; and right on our own blog too! But then again, what can you expect from a man who calls the Magnetic Fields his favorite band? To add gasoline to the fire, Chris then stated the very same comment:

"...Oasis is...remarkably powerful..."

It is for this reason why we are telling everyone not to look at Chris' blog.

Ball's in your court my friend.

hipster douche comment of the day

Pitchfork you've done it again, this time not in so much a condescending way but in a pitifully poetic way:

On the new stars EP:

"The music here burns slow and then smolders-- not unlike the piles of autumn leaves (under cold gray skies!) that dot the lyrics-- and it's easy to imagine this music serving, for a lot of concertgoers, as a wistful memento of That Cold Night We Saw Stars"

...tear

(They went on to give it a 6.2... bastards)

Ugliest man alive goes skinny dipping

Yes my friends it is true (maybe) Our favorite lead singer went skinny dipping recently. Personally i just can't imagine Thom Yorke naked but that's just me (and probably the rest of humanity). I think the only thing more awkward than that would probably be Jonny Greenwood skinny dipping. Anyway just dropping by to leave those disturbing images in your head.

Somebody wrote on my last.fm

"Your music taste = superb"

i don't know who you are anonymous music listener but thank you for affirming what Bryant already knows.

PASSING ON THE WORD

Just read this on stereogum, oasis bashes Radiohead:

"They're [Radiohead] middle-class boys worrying about pushing an envelope somewhere, and all that carbon footprint and all that bollocks. Every time there's a polar bear on his tiptoes on an ice cube in the middle of the Antarctic, you know whose fault that is? Rock stars'. That's their fault. Any time there's food running out somewhere-- 'Let's do a gig. That'll sort it out. Let's do a big fucking gig. Let's fly everybody in from all over the world and pontificate to poor people about how they should be saving the planet.' Go fucking kiss my ass. It's very easy to just say, 'We're going to become difficult now and challenge our audience.' I like my audience. They paid for my swimming pool. I'm not fucking challenging anybody."

We'll it looks like Oasis doesn't know the difference between whining in their music and whining in real life. Hey Oasis, try creating something that doesn't sound better when you're not performing it.

Going to Liberal Arts College: Checklist

So Hipster Doucheblog following the Bed Bath and Beyond trend is creating it's own back to school checklist: liberal arts edition. I know it seems a little late and next year fashions may drastically change but in case you have no sense for college trends here's a list of what you may be missing.

- Burkenstocks
- North Face Back Pack
- Matching or Complimenting North Face Jacket
- American Apparel Hoodie
- Book of Frost Poems to carry at your side when you walk
- Sigg Metal Water Bottle (Metal is the new plastic)
- Classy Older Road Bike
- Scarf to blow in wind while riding bike
- Bizarre retro sunglasses that border on out of fashion
- Indie Band tee-shirts
- Frisbee that you never use

Hipster Doucheblog Issues a Challenge to its Readers

   Hey readers! This is everyone's favorite hipster (Bryant, of course) reporting live from college for the first time. While our blonde-haired-buddy is out climbing trees in the middle of the forest somewhere, the blogging still refuses to stop here in the city that never sleeps. Anyway, before we all embark on our college journeys any further, we here at the Hipster Doucheblog would like to issue a challenge to all our readers. 

   Surly everyone remembers this past February when a certain Hipster's house (again, Bryant) was transformed from an average dingy basement to a club party featuring mix-up master, Girl Talk. We here at the Hipster Doucheblog don't see why just because we are all off doing bigger and better things, the spirit of the Girl Talk Dance Party has to die. Our challenge is for everyone of our readers, by the end of this school year, to throw at least one Girl Talk Dance Party at their respective schools. Photographic evidence must be provided to prove the fulfillment of this epic challenge. When we do get photos (and we better) we will be sure to run them in a special feature post on our blog. 

   That's right guys! It's time to step up, mash-up, and spread the magic that is the Girl Talk Dance Party. 

   Anyway, we hope everyone is doing great and ask for people not to be afraid to comment on any post they find interesting. We always love hearing form our readers.
