James Franco Eating Gold With Seminal Performance Artist Marina Ambravomich

Yes, Wall Street Journal is bringing us top notch hipster media.

Franco’s accompanying essay is also worth the read.

Fight Like Apes - ‘Do You Karate?’ video by Eoghan Kidney.

old song, new twist (literally).

FLA has the best videos.  The world needs more bands that are this blisteringly funny without surrendering one iota of heart.

“The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you’re uncool.”

I had a huge portion of this scene quoted on my OKCupid profile back when I had one. People told me I was setting myself up for defeat and scaring people away. Since then I’ve taken the whole profile down, which is probably even more of a setup for defeat.

God, do I even want to try to trick a girl who doesn’t understand the underlying point of this scene into liking me?  It’s the same thing that makes HRO (and fucking) work.  Is a hipster without clothes still a hipster?  Why isn’t there a porn studio monitoring memegenerator?

Mission Of Burma

The legendary post-punk band expounds on signing to Matador, calling it quits and becoming a band again.

In which Mission of Burma makes me wanna make things forever (but I’m still using earplugs, because, when it comes to ear ringing whenever I’m outside of the city/inside of a soundstage my mentality is literally “fuck this noise.”)

Counting Crows- Round Here

One of the biblical versions of the song.  I still haven’t heard an objection to the first two LPs that doesn’t devolve into bash-by-proxy laziness.

Lady Gaga is the Obama of 2009

No, I can’t substantiate/truly believe this, but it is a fun premise to bat around.

What do I look like? a hippie?
Be gone.
No, if I want to look stupid I’ll become a mime.
Gee thanks, but I’m high on life.

What’s with the outdated game show references? That’s probably the least cool kind of reference you can ever make.

I gave up around the low teens, but can someone verify whether or not the phrase &#8220;24/7&#8221; shows up on here?  Is &#8220;not wanting to be the weakest link&#8221; also cited?
What about references to that &#8220;New Garage Rock&#8221; the youngs are twit-spacing about with the Stroke-Stripes and the Clap Your Hands Say &#8220;Fuck Yeah! Twilightzzz?&#8221;
Someone (unemployed Gawker alumni, mayhap?) who knows the value of dropping a solid sativa on judiciously doubled up ADHD medication needs to rebut this point by point.
