Amazing hipster album #3: Permanent waves

With Geddy Lee high pitched singing and bass work, Neil Pearts evocative lyrics and drum mastery, and Alex Lifeson's all around awesomeness, rush's seventh studio album is a landmark in the history of progressive rock. What i like about rush is the fact that the band is simply a trio, but in pieces like free will and entre nous and many others, it seems that the band is comprised of many more. 
    My favorite lyric in the world is still in debate, with two contenders from rush songs, one being freewill, the single from the album. The lyric is "and if you chose not to decide you still have made a choice." I chose not to decide between that and "the spaces in between us, give room you and i to grow". Both lyrics are both awesome, and unlike most of progressive rocks lyrics, uplifting. Rush has a overall happy feel to their music, and it is brought out in permanent waves. Rush has had very few feuds between members, and have actively worked together since 1974, and for Lee and Lifeson, since 1968.
           Overall,this album was not one of rushes more popular albums, however, it is my one of my favorites. This is the single free will, enjoy.

Jack white is such a hipster.

"I never wanted to play the guitar, every body played the guitar"-jack white
             Greetings fellow hipsters, today i will talk of an amazing hipster who tried not to become mainstream. He has many radical ideas that are very contrary to mainstream. He believes in music more than most do but still, somehow, he found a mainstream audience. That made me quite upset, however his motives are strong. He doesn't  write music to please an audience, and he intentionally puts himself in less comfortable situations so his music is less processed and possessing of the emotion of very old blues singers. No, he doesn't wear hipster clothing, however he has alternative ideas and voices them through his Montgomery airline guitar, Hammond organ,and beat up upright piano.
        Here is a video of jack white complaining about technology, it is accompanied by his take on the Mississippi Sheiks blues masterpiece, that he plays with such ferocity that i am surprised that the piano didn't deflagrate.

Hipster quote #3

"So many hipsters are using macs, i think i'd get a pc, to be ironic, Or maybe ill stay with the mac, and reffer to it as Macintosh, so every body thinks that
i am talking about an apple not a computer made by Apple."

How hipsters sit on couches when alone.


Hipster rule # 469




Greetings fellow hipsters, today i will talk about what you buy. As a hipster, you must buy things that are cheap to be ironic, or extremely expensive to be classy. A hipster has some need for simplicity, look at rock groups such as the white stripes and black keys who play very old beat up simplistic instruments. in the start of the documentary, it might get loud, jack white builds a guitar, and asks who says you have to buy one. 
On the other hand, guitarists such as Fripp, Gilmore, Bonamassa, and many others play the finest of guitars, producing beautiful tones and producing likewise, amazing music.
     If you follow Rule # 458 you fit into the ironic category. Also referring back to rule 456, if you are using something expensive, be ironic, still no beats.

  Just remember, if you are wearing a ratty used clearance sale flannel, while wearing Bose headphones, shure headphones are still better.

Is Robert Langdon a Hipster?


           Greetings fellow hipsters, today, i am doing another hipster book character debate
Normally sporting a mickey mouse watch, a historical artifact, a relatively good looking female accomplice, dan brown's robert langdon doesn't look a hipster, however he has many hipster attributes. He has different opinions from every body else, including thoughts about religion, history, and technology.
      When langdon researches something, or has somebody else research something, he will not let google searches pass as proper research. He is an extremely accomplished author, but his books only have a cult following because the subjects he deals with are so obscure. He puts often unforeseen controversies on the table, much like a hipster, though Bertrand zobrist was so controversial, i consider him a radical, not a hipster. i feel his character would not not approve of rap or hip hop.
   It does mention him listening to classical music, but in mentioned in a previous post, we're not sure if hipster classical music exists.
      Music is not the only thing that makes a hipster, his new theories and opaque interests melding with his sharp wit, whether Langdon is a hipster or not is arguable both ways.
    Comment to tell me what you think,
            Nate and Pablo Salute you.

what hipsters use as boats

Hipster clothing in old navy

 WHY! WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY?   
         
     But seriously, why are they emulating us/ making the clothing we wear and clothing people think we adorn mainstream if people dislike hipsters so much. They think we are pompous egomaniacs who refuse to listen to what people say and go out of the way to hinder our piers, yet they like our clothing. I found low collar sweaters with odd patterns, skinny jeans, denimish button down shirts, beanies with the laces, and flannels everywhere, as if we are encouraged. That is like an american idol contestant who got voted down by Randy Jackson wearing his designer glasses and giving interviews about how irate he is at r.j. People should not try to look like a hipster if they don't like hipsters.

Pet peeve: people judging hipsters by those who wear man scarfs

             I am a hipster. I don't wear man scarfs. Man scarfs are impractical, practically impossible to wear comfortably, and a practical means for somebody to strangle me with.
         Greetings fellow hipsters, today i shall rant about society yet again, to create a tedious, yet monotonous post that nobody will enjoy reading, unless of course, they find dry humor, radical notions, and numerical radicals neurologically stimulating. If that is the case, i don't understand you in the slightest and would recommend that you hoist your opinions upon others for my entertainment. But in all serious, i have never entertained the notions of wearing a scarf when not partaking in snowball warfare, isn't that entertaining.
             
        I have much hindrance grasping how these niftily decorated nooses have wound it's way into  stereotypical  hipster culture, which, if you have read past posts on my blog, you would possess the knowledge that stereotypical hipster culture varies greatly from actual hipster culture. I have met 3 male figures in my life time. One i met briefly at a cross country invitational, clad in ray bands, skinny jeans, a sweater and a beanie, as you would have suspected, i avoided them at all costs. The second was an Israeli music instructor at my summer camp, who was by no means a hipster, though he was quite hysterical, particularly when he found chipmunks doing indecent thing in a toilet. The third, well let's just say he was about as anti-hipster as Disney is anti racial accuracy. I would have assumed, that with the amount of hipsters i hang out with, and the amount of man scarfs i have scene, that the stereotype is utterly false.
      It seems ridiculous that a fashions can make one part of a group. Even more ridiculous is that the most unconventional, false-associated piece of clothing. Isadora Duncan, antigone and many others have been killed by scarfs, and they were female. Scarfs cannot possibly render positive repercussions when worn for recreational  purposes.
      Say no to drugs, but first say no to scarfs.

Hipster rule # 468







Greetings fellow hipsters, Don't use Itunes to buy your music, however, you still need to support the artist. Your favorite band, (if you are a hipster) probably doesn't make that much money. If you download their music illegally, they don't reap any reward for their hard work in producing their music. Itunes is ridiculously expensive and not worth the money, however, if you use alternate online music stores which are cheaper and have a greater amount of indie music, the artist will still ear some money, while you don't pay as much. Today i found a very gritty bluesy artist dubbed the dirty diary, he is so awesome, his youtube videos barely have ten thousand views. I'm cooler, mine barely have 100.      
    The point is that you shouldn't be too lazy to pay for your music, when the artist wasn't to lazy to make it. 
      If you are a true hipster, you won't have to worry about this rule because all of your music is on vinyl. DON'T ROB RECORD STORES.
       Salutations,
        ETAN Y OLBAP

Amazing hipster album#2: cage the elephant.

Greetings fellow hipsters, this weeks hipster album, we will discuss cage the elephant's self titled first album. Following in the footsteps of beck, nirvana and other 1990's alternative rockers, cage the elephant features catchy, dynamic and raw sounding  tracks. It was produced under an indie label, and does not sound like anybody was telling them how to sound. The band itself almost had a top 40 hit, but luckily, they didn't. It did however peak at 6th in "Mainstream rock billboards" so that sort of sucks, i licked the song before it got famous, so i'm allowed listen to it. The song in question was never played on pop-radio because it was so different from the garbage that they forced through the listeners speakers, therefore, i don't consider it a pop song. My favorite song off the album is "In one ear" so i'll show it to you.
 Please tell me what you think is an amazing hipster album in the comment section
   SO

Andrew Muller, pretty much my biggest influence for playing guitar.

Greetings fellow hipsters, today i shall talk about why i play the guitar.
It was four or five summers ago, and i was going to my summer camp in Canada, never before really having met a guitarist, and i walk into my cabin to find it decorated with led zeppelin, David Bowie, and pink Floyd posters. One of my councilors is singing, sitting on his bed with a guitar. His style of playing, the fact that he could play, and his disregard of his taste in music influenced me greatly in years to come.  his last summer as a councilor, bought a guitar when i got home.
          He has yet to put out an album, however he has some music n YouTube. I encourage you to watch and like his videos, because he deserves more recognition. The video to the right is his original song, "Look away, its censored." Be sure to share and watch his videos.

Hipster quote # 2

"Before hipsters were cool, people called us nerds."-a hipster.
       
salutations,
Pablablablablo y Nanananate

Anything weird or disturbing is artsy.

For Halloween, i watched Gore Verbinski's mastery of suspense, "the ring" . In the ring, none of the characters are hipster, though one presumably plays guitar due to a stratacaster in the background of the movies most famous scene. However, when i saw the haunted video in the ring, i thought, wow, that is so hipster artsy-like. The film has many disturbing images, and for some is the most unsettling moments in the movie, however, if one views it as art, it is so much cooler. Samara, if you put that video in the M.O.M.A (Museum of modern art) you would kill so many hipsters.
       However, you can find hipster art in things intended for a more mainstream audience, for instance college humor's attempt to poke fun at modern music video's. It was so disturbing and subsequently very artsy. It actually seems to make miley cyrus intelligent, which is ridiculous.
        Most things can translate as art. the only thing that stops something from being art is an unexcepting person in power. Art is in the eyes of the beholder, and if the beholder is a hipster, more controversial things are excepted.
