02.11.10 | Some things to know:
*Lindstrom and Christabelle's Real Life Is No Cool is a disco record. Grimes' record is neoclassical. Thy Mighty Contract is an experimental/post-punk release from an awesome supergroup. Cogito's EP is a cross between first-wave screamo and metalcore.
*I've written reviews for all these, so there's your explanation.
*Thy Mighty Contract is the best out of these releases. It's so chaotic and interesting yet its perceptible. |

02.11.10 | I agree. These American Apparel ads being advertised on Sputnik go against just about everything I've learned in my grand 6 weeks of Marketing so far. Unless they come out with a Mikael Akerfeldt line of "stripes," I doubt they'll sell anything here. |

02.11.10 | Hipster - Listens to bands that you have never heard of. Has hairstyle that can only be described as "complicated." (Most likely achieved by a minimum of one week not washing it.) Probably tattooed. Maybe gay. Definitely cooler than you. Reads Black Book, Nylon, and the Styles section of the New York Times. Drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon. Often. Complains. Always denies being a hipster. Hates the word. Probably living off parents money - and spends a great deal of it to look like they don't have any. Has friends and/or self cut hair. Dyes it frequently (black, white-blonde, etc. and until scalp bleeds). Has a closet full of clothing but usually wears same three things OVER AND OVER (most likely very tight black pants, scarf, and ironic tee-shirt). Chips off nail polish artfully after $50 manicure. Sleeps with everyone and talks about it at great volume in crowded coffee shops. Addicted to coffee, cigarettes (Parliaments, Kamel Reds, Lucky Strikes, etc.), and possibly cocaine. Claims to be in a band. Rehearsals consist of choosing outfits for next show and drinking PBR. Always on the list. Majors or majored in art, writing, or queer studies. Name-drops. May go by "Penny Lane," "Eleanor Rigby," etc. when drunk. On PBR. Which is usually. |

02.11.10 | 2 is pretty stunning, whats the rest of the list like? |
Rationalist
02.11.10 | 2's great, but some of the tracks don't hold up to the rest.
Thy mighty Contract is a harsh, experimental post-punk outfit that still remains catchy and listenable.
Lindstrom and Christabelle is a disco fest with a fantastic female singer.
Cogito is like Usurp Synapse meets Converge |

02.11.10 | Elitists are cool but hipsters are sexy.
And yes, Pan's Labyrinth is the shit. |
Rationalist
02.11.10 | Correction: Elitists are cooler than hipsters but hipsters are sexier than elitists.
Ignore the first half of my last post/ |

02.11.10 | When they say "not wash it for a week" does that mean literally not throw water on it, or just not shampoo it? |
