Rattling Moon Live

                           Rattling moon, being Sam Slocum on keyboard and Vocals, Dominic Gould on Bass Guitar, Sam Greenberg on drums, and myself, Nathan Gittleman on guitar and vocals, performed at a variety show. The first song is an original, called Daniel Hawthorne, a blues rock piece, pretty simple, fun to jam off of. The name actually came from Sam Slocum hearing the Name in the chorus, even though the actual lyrics are "and my heart won't". We decided to keep with it as the name. Our Lazaretto cover, from Jack White, is a very fun punkish, alternative track, great to just go all out on as Sam did an amazing job. Throughout the performance, many catastrophes were solved by good teamwork. I dropped my pick and Dom gave me a new one, the mic stand was sinking and Slocum put it back up, Dom's pedal wasn't working, so I kicked the cable, etc. Hope you 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 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.
