Well I might as well continue the sad train -- my confession is that August and my birthday have traditional(ly) been the worst part of my life for the last say... 5 years.. and the only people I can tell live so many hundred miles away in all these different states. And that feels a little weird.
ok, then /endrant

I have never listened to the Belle & Sebastian. I know for a fact I will hate them, just on name alone.
I think this is hilarious. I had a battle with myself over giving them a shot because of their name a while back. They sound exactly like you would expect them to sound. That said, there are some tracks worth you time.
Besides, the evidence proving that you're a hipster keeps piling up. You know what hipsters are apparently really into now (according to my perusals of Pitchfork, mainly)? Loud/raw garage rock, like the Men, Cloud Nothings, Ty Segall, etc., and carefully crafted EDM.
When I look at you I see a guy who f*cking loves loud/raw garage rock who also happens to have founded a message board dedicated to a festival which supposedly highlights the best in carefully crafted EDM.
Game. Set. Match. Hipster.
Actually, hipsters (like the real, legit hipsters) are getting into metal now. Laugh now if you want, but remember that you heard it here first from the guy who works at a record store and witnesses hipster behavior firsthand on pretty much a daily basis.
And I'm talking mostly about death metal and droney sh*t, stuff like Sunn O))), Wolves in the Throne Room, Earth, Mayhem, that sort of stuff. But also some more accessible metal like Baroness. It's headed in that direction.
I think i've gone over this before, but Garageland is not actually a hipster. He is something way more than that: what every hipsters wishes they could be. I believe Dave came up with the term Hipster Messiah, which I think fits perfectly. Would you consider Jesus a Christian? Not really, but every Christian aspires to be like Jesus. Garageland is the Jesus of the hipsters.

Yep Karosko is absolutely right. My daughter (who is 20) and her friends are totally in the genre of people, and they are very into death metal bands right now..... She started a little more "mellow" with Baroness, Clutch and Kylesa, but now has moved on to bands I have never heard of, and I don't really like they way they sound

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Oh God.
You aren't there yet, I've heard of all of those bands

You forgot the fixed gear bike, the black rim glasses, and tattoos (including the tale-tell mustache-on-the-finger).

Better yet, what about imitation imitation Ray Bans from Walgreens that cost $10 because you're too cheap to buy imitation Ray Bans? But to be fair I've had them like 3 years.
