People, mostly complete strangers, often tell me that I look like Henry Rollins.

That’s fine, I don’t see the resemblance, however I’d rather posses the ability to shoot lightening bolts from my mouth.

suzyxisntreal:

“The Bechdel Test is a simple way to gauge the active presence of female characters in Hollywood films and just how well rounded and complete those roles are. It was created by Allison Bechdel in her comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For in 1985. It is astonishing the number of popular movies that can’t pass this simple test. It demonstrates how little women’s complex and interesting lives are underrepresented or non existent in the film industry. We have jobs, creative projects, friendships and struggles among many other things that are actually interesting in our lives… so Hollywood, start writing about it!”

After some prodding from my peers, I installed the last.fm scrobbler and have plunged headlong into the business of taste surveillance. Evidently, I really like Madonna and defunct hair emo much more than noise rock.

“So it’s especially disheartening that their name has been reassigned, and not to any foolish but vigorous crop of tyros, but to parasites. Eric Fredericksen defines the hipster as “a consumer of (sub)culture, a person who substitutes taste for creative drive.” That sort has probably been around forever, but didn’t really become an identifiable genus until maybe the 1980s, when the vastly increased size of the market made it possible to pursue consumerism as a full-time activity. Hunting esoteric cultural kicks turned into connoisseurship; possession of items distinguished chiefly by their obscurity at once inflated the desirability of those items to others and became tantamount to having produced those items oneself. Now hipsters have gone way beyond Scandinavian psychedelia and Japanese bondage photography. They collect neighborhoods. Soon those will run out, too. You are advised to protect your neck.”

Luc Sante on ‘hipster’. The whole thing. Spot on, as always.

Yes, I’m a hipster dufus blogger. And I hate that it’s a cliche to hate myself for it.

“Imagine ordering a Whopper with cheese: you take a bite but you taste only cheese; then you realize the Whopper is gone.”
