OMG, I Cannot Wait for Grizzly Bear’s “Veckatimest” to Leak!

I mean I can’t wait for it to be released on May 26th, 2009.
I seriously still can’t stop listening to Grizzly Bear’s Yellow House, and that was released way back in 2006! – and I’ve been listening to it the whole time.
Here’s a recent interview with Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste, thanks to Pitchfork.

Still Anticipating DOOM… this is the “Official Demo Leak”

About a week ago (or that’s when I first noticed it) a 5 song promo for DOOM’s forthcoming Born Like This LP “officially leaked.”
I’ve seen it tagged as both a “5 Song Sampler” and as an “EP.”  Presumably it is just the demo that DOOM’s management sent out to music critiques/journalists/etc. – which means that [...]

A Photo Tribute to Steven Page: Ex-Barenaked Lady

Canadian rock icon Steven Page has officially left The Barenaked Ladies via “mutual consent.”
Which basically means he got his ass kicked out for being too bad ass and controversial.
However, I feel that Steven Page has been misunderstood.
The drugs, the young girlfriends, the rehab, the weight loss/weight gain – they’re all just unfortunate [...]

Anticipating DOOM…

“That’s That” is a new song via (MF) DOOM.  “That’s That” is a little more substantial then the “Ballskin” we heard in January.
Born Like This LP is due soon… or at least that’s what they keep telling me.
I wrote a verse to help the time fly:

Been anticipating DOOM for about three [...]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, It’s Blitz/It’s Leaked: Ethical Dilemma

Well what do you know, the forthcoming Yeah Yeah Yeahs It’s Blitz! LP has now leaked.  Although, it looks like we’ll be waiting until closer to the release date for a good 320/flac version of the album – OMG, someone on the YYY’s team should rectify this, the release is only 6 weeks away! *sarcasm* [...]

R.I.P, Travis Steeger

Travis was one of the most intelligent, talented, and kind people I have ever known.
His brilliant antics blew my mind on a daily basis, and his future really was brighter than any star will ever shine.
My heart goes out to all of Travis’s friends and family.
Here’s a lovely story and a video about the 19 [...]

Carles is The Usual Supect

Carles is Keyser Soze.
As commented on a previous post, today’s Hipster Runoff  “hack update” contained a screenshot of HRO’s Twitter with the trash can icon visible – which as Twitterers know, is only viewable when you are logged in to your own account.

Unless we are to believe that “hackster” hacked into HRO’s Twitter too – [...]

HRO: Hack/Hoax Poll

For more info on this this story check our first and second update.

HRO Update: Hacked or Hoaxed?!

Q: What do you get when you mix Brad Pitt (aka Tyler Durden), with Linkin Park, lemmings, and Hackers (1995)?!
A: Hackster Runoff meme 2009.
This cheesy attempt at a world changing video is the latest “hack post” at HRO.

Can’t believe Linkin Park soundtracks the video.  Carles was Tweeting about this band last week, saying that “Linkin [...]

Hipster Runoff Hacked/Not Hacked

Hipster Runoff (HRO) has either been hacked, or Carles (the blogger) has staged a hoax.
Either way,  hundreds/thousands of HRO tweens are currently confused, frustrated, and searching for meaning/answers.
If you’re interested you might find the situation interesting:
HRO hack post.
HRO Twitter.
You can take it from there.  You are a Private Investigator now (but this is probably a [...]
