Look. I know I can't make you do anything you don't want to do, but seriously. Go listen to it.
I really think I could be BFF with this Hipster Runoff dude IRL. I really am starting to think we have a lot more in common that I initially thought.
UPDATE:
Slippy was able to swipe it for me!
Seeing these photos makes me think...

"After 2 months of 2008, we still don't know what post-banger life is
all about. I've had multiple conversations with music industry
insiders, and there is consistent chatter about 'Total Request when it
was just Carson Daly in an empty room'-era alt-rock coming back strong."
-- Hipster Runoff
It is impossible to identify the best part of that sentence.
One of my favorite websites to read from an outsider's perspective is Hipster Runoff. I have no Hipster Credibility, I know that. Refusing to match my brightly colored clothes doesn't make me a hipster. Not showering or brushing my hair doesn't make me a hipster. The fact that I usually show up to work on time definitely contributes to the fact that I am not a hipster... BUT! I honestly do enjoy what they do, those stylish kids with their crazy nose drugs.
I think only one other thing on the site has moved me to post it before, their New Year's message. Otherwise, I'm hesitant to comment on what they do because I'm afraid I will reread this blog in five years and hate myself for one reason or another, but most likely because I'd either feel too harsh or hypocritical... but this I can post because it's fucking awesome.
Today, as a duel installment in their "WHERE DA PARTY AT?" and "MYSPACER WORTH BLOGGING ABOUT" series, they posted the video of this young dude Corey, who threw one of the biggest house parties Australia as ever seen.
Watch the video and then read my open letter to him below:
You are fucking awesome. I love your glasses and I think you made the right decision to keep them on. Screw those guys, right? If they can't handle your glasses, then they can't handle you. And if they can't handle a little automobile destruction and a twenty thousand dollar (18,017.26 USD) fine, then they can find a new neighborhood. Why? (As if I have to tell you!) Because that's where you live, Corey. And all you're trying to do is party and what's more chill than partying?
Also, I must commend your bold decision to ignore your parents who are probably terrified that the home that they have worked their whole lives to afford has been destroyed. I'm sure they are worried about you, but not as worried as you are for yourself, so that's good. Hey, as far as I see it, this is your vacation from them. You're sixteen, Cores?!? Take it from someone who recently turned twenty-four and just worked a thirteen hour workday: of all the years of all my life, sixteen was by far the most difficult. I had homework, like, everyday and I even had to figure out what to wear to my Confirmation. Do what you need to do to get by, man. Anything that makes it easier to just be you.
Keep it positive in '08!
Love,
Molls
