Hipster Runoff: Why Do I Like It So?

2009-04-26T14:48:00.000-07:00

So this is my return to blogging which, really isn't something I ever really did to begin with. I tried it in '06, and grew bored very quickly. At this point, I feel there is more to talk about. Like Hipster Runoff.

He talks about meme's, blipsters, blog house and the occasional remix failure. you can't go any where on the site without seeing at least 2 American Apparel ads yet... you want to root for him. But like, in a sort of 'we're all gonna die' kind of way. Never the less, HRO proclaims itself to be a 'blog worth blogging about' and well... It's only natural some random fool like me is going to wonder... Is he for real??

I first read this dude's blog last year when working in tech support for fedex. It soon became something to pass the time when things were slow and subsequently, became my favorite blog. Does it matter that I only read a handful of other blogs? I mean who has time to read when your trolling music blogs to rabidly sink your teeth in to the newest miracle fix-all dance tonic. You know, the mp3's you snag and stuff in your party rocking collection only to listen to later and somehow loathe because it ends up being terrible. Moving on. Recently HRO blogged about a fight at Cinespace between the bouncers and Ed Banger Recs. Can't exactly explain why, but I thought it was fucking hilarious. The combination of 'social relevance' and 'witty commentary' coupled with the reliable, 'whatever' attitude of a quasi-hipster in question of his own relevance, is somehow entirely too entertaining.

Now, I'm not professing to be the next big thing or write blogs about calling someone out for being wack/dope. I just want to talk about the stuff I love/dislike to keep the creative juices flowing and maybe discover some awesome recipe like my homie David Soto and his Home Made Pho Excursion. Beyond that, I'd like to put you up on some stuff like my favorite rappers favorite rapper and of course my current flavorite blawg haus commentary innovator, Hipster Runoff. Until next time I'll leave you with a question: Does liking Crystal Castles automatically make you a hipster? More on that later.

Should I Blog About Local Hip Hop?

Aparently I'm not any good at blogging every day. Today I feel like making a "Worst Rappers In Colorado" list... but They'd just label me a Hater. Instead I'll make a list of my favorite Colorado Groups and Emcee's and where you can find them. um... some other time. Ha! gotcha. truth is i just don't care enough. i'm all about my shit right now damnit! i can't be concerned. i will tell you that ManeRok is tight, Dent rocking it, P.a.a.s has always been the shit, Y'all are sleepin' on Apostle, Death Before Dishonor is dope as fuck. Mith went and got better at rapping and at hustling and is doing awesome the way i see it. Of course The Procussions are sick with it and so is Abby Normal believe it or not. Your doing just fine in my book Denver Hip Hop Underground. PROPS. cuz there are more to mention. but we'll make that another blog, probably when i make all these names links... PEACE.

girls girls girls. videos videos videos.

This is TERRA NAOMI. Just found her on You Tube (just found a lot on You Tube) I like the approach.

next up, GOLDFRAPP. as in, Allison. This is by far my favorite video by her and her cohort. It's just so sexy and weird. She looks amazing in it of course. there is a lot of live footage of Goldfrapp on youtube.com I'm not breaking it down for you, just search for it, lazy.

Of course we couldn't go posting female musicians without posting some BJORK one of my favorites here, I just love this song as well.

last but not least, Yeah Yeah Yeah's Maps. cool song.

Today I reflect on the past, present and future. Today I mourn the dead who died unneccessarily. Today I sit in my underware at 4:35 Pm. Today I am not getting along with my girlfriend. Today I will eat Pho79 again, becuase I can. Most of all, Today I want to tell you about Ancient Astronauts and The Disclosure Project.

Once again the Truth is usually Stranger Than Fiction. One point that grabs me, is one made by Dr. Steven Greer (head of The Disclosure Project). Our government is shrouded in secrecy concerning U.F.O's not becuase it's a matter of national security, But becuase the U.F.O's themselves are based on technology that would make Gas and Oil obsolete. In other words, the aliens are trying to mess with big brothers money.

I think this is merely one of the reasons. There are plenty of others. I found another great site with Ancient U.F.O. Art and links to more Ancient Astronaut Theory's. I won't go too much into detail, just wanted to mention some things. Like my own personal accounts and that The Disclosure Project even has an unofficial myspace page.

Not to get too heavy... I just feel this is stuff you should research wether you believe in it or not.

I created a Blogger account just so I could post on Jason Roth's Mp3 Blog Soup & Crackers . What I realized is that I already had a blogger.com account from my days at ManiaTV. I was an Evil Monkey, not unlike the one in Chris Griffin's closet. Mainly becuase I went around creating numerous blogging accounts for the sole purpose of blog marketing. I was actually very close to having an official job there with said title. (whew! glad that didn't happen)

So in realizing that I'm all too familiar with the Blog world, I figured I might as well get back into the action. I mean, I'm already at the eating contest, might as well pig out.

So I guess I'll be blogging about my favorite music, videos, music videos, foods (ahem, Pho79!!) annoyances, friends, movies, boobies, etc. Oh yeah and of course posting links and stuff as good bloggers do. Awha? Throw You A Bone you say? kay... there's this Emcee guy from L.A. thats worked with Awol One, Kool Keith and Motion Man. His name is Fat Hed and I love his music. that'll do? I'm Ron Burgandy?

it's me! Hiding Under A Blog: "cuz my myspace blog sucks ass!"
