[dj_soo]

Showing up to that show obnoxiously drunk at 1:00 am helped. Actually, I think that's kind of the crux of the issue: in order to deal with those people it really helps to be good and hammered and annoying, THUS GIVING IN TO THE DARK SIDE AND PERPETUATING THE CYCLE.

Only if I get proper scratching lessons or you fight with a handicap, otherwise you're going to wipe the floor with me. :P

YEAH I FIND BEING SO DRUNK THAT I AM DOING THE ROCKAWAY/THROWING 'BOWS/FALLING INTO ALL THE SKINNY/SMELLY/HEAVILY MOUSSED KIDS AROUND ME HELPS IMMENSELY. THE WORST THEY WILL DO IS TRY TO STARE YOU DOWN OR LIKE, LINK YOUR MYSPACE WITH A RUDE COMMENT ON THEIR PHOTOBLOG.

POSITIVE SIDES TO HIPSTER CLUBS/PARTIES:
1) NOBODY WILL FIGHT YOU EVER, EXCEPT MAYBE A GIRL
2) ALWAYS CONVERSATION WITH FRIENDS YOU MEET ("HAY LOOK AT THE GUY IN THE ALF SHIRT, WAS HE EVEN ALIVE WHEN ALF WAS ON TV?")
3) USUALLY CHEAP DRINKS
4) DRINK LINES ARE SHORTER IF YOU REMEMBER RULE #1
5) ADD YOUR OWN

USUALLY BEING THE BIG DRUNK ASSHOLE IN THE BAR LEADS TO THE NEXT DAY BEING LIKE 'OH MAN I WAS THAT GUY' REGRET

BUT AT A HIPSTER BAR ITS LIKE 'OH MAN I WAS THAT GUY WAY MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN ANYONE ELSE THERE, I WON'

[mux]

can someone point me to a "new rave" mix mp3?

[dj_soo]

^ it'll probably contains lots of LCD Soundsystem and MIA

[rawb]

NEW 5
5)NO BLACK PEOPLE TO MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE SHOUTING THE N-WORD DURING RAP SONGS

[esoter1c]

All this time I've been hatin' on jazz/hippies/emo and I never knew they were all one and the same.

Fuckin' hipsters.

[obtuse]

6) CAN DANCE ENTHUSIASTICALLY TO JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND NOT FEEL GUILTY/LIKE YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET YOUR ASS KICKED (SEE #1)
7) EASY TO IMPRESS COHORTS WITH SCINTILLATING WIT (AKA BEING OFFENSIVE) BY IRONICALLY CALLING EVERYBODY 'FAGGOT'

Terrence: %s/(MIA | LCD)/(Ed Banger | Kitsune)/

Drew: for the assholes responsible for the 'new rave' phrase, google The Klaxons (note: doesn't actually sound anything like rave, unless you find the remixes)

Apparently Altern8 are gigging again, and Farshad just bought a new Client record with an N-Joi (!!) remix.

Glyn

[rawb]

I CAN FUCK WITH LCD/MIA/MSTR/ED BANGER BECAUSE AT LEAST THAT SHIT IS FUNKY FOR A COUPLE OF TRACKS

BUT YEAH IN THE END IM STILL GOING TO DROP A BIGGIE TUNE OR LIKE THE SCORPIONS

I MEAN IN MY APARTMENT, POSSIBLY ON A 4 LISTENER SHOUTCAST, ON KENNY GRANTS GEAR

They'll be in town very soon.

They're still claiming they haven't recorded a dance record.

[Wood]

the new Krazy Baldhead single on Ed Banger has a remix on it by Midfield General, who i don't think has released anything in like 5 years or more. Used to be on Skint. it's FULL ON rave music, like glowsticks & candy bracelets stylee. is this what hipsters are listening to in london? seems a little too soon...

[Grapes]

Glyn in the haus!!!

I went to see Spankrock and was incredibly annoyed/disappointed.

I saw Low-B and enjoyed the music, but not so much the skinny kids wearing kerchiefs and snarkily making fun of how my friend was dancing.

In the end though, having lots of hipsters in the crowd doesn't really bother me... it's not like I have to talk to them, and they're an amusing little side bar on a night out.

[dj_soo]

^ you should have been at assault - they made it a point to get so in your face you couldn't really ignore them.

That's when I would have head butted one of them and shouted, "THAT'S HOW WE ROLL ON JEFFERSON AVE SON!!!".

They're generally not tall enough to get in my face, or heavy enough that they won't fall over if I push them.

At a hipster bar, "that guy" is my fucking hero

[-evil-duerr-]

^i've been "that guy" at a hipster bar. it totally got me some ass that night

the crowd was a complete bore. the dj threw down the famous song "apache".

I had no choice but to flail around, do the running man, and my best carlton dance impression in spirit of "apache".

This shocking explosion of movement frightened and repulsed all the hipsters on the "dance floor" (more like "stand and pout with your hands in yer pockets floor" ), except for 2 girls who actually like guys who aren't afraid to breath....

there you have it guys, the carlton dance makes hipster chicks all hot and bothered.

[cubed]

^but do you really want that?

they'll take you to their run down main street basement suite, tie you up in bed and read you shitty poetry all night.

[Gusto]

^ yeah be careful

[Gusto]

unless you're into that. in that case: http://crowninformation.com/tiffanysutton/

[-evil-duerr-]

if i had to endure the crappy music those freaks subject themselves to all the time, I'd probably get a little stabby too.

damn, this hipster thing has instantly become more appealing.

i give it two weeks till im the king of the game.

the only problem is i think the music is shit.

p.s it also gives me an excuse to wear gay coloured t shirts from el kartel

noticing that dance music doesn't sound as good when you don't mix it

..no kiddin'....

Creating a journey, an adventure using sound.

Couldn't have put it better myself:)

[dj_soo]

although i hate hipsters, for some reason I kinda like the female hipster fashion sense.

maybe it's just the glasses tho...
