yeah but i dunno..i heard "lucas with the lid off" and "cantaloop" on alt-rock stations at the time, not so much "funk dat," so it feels like somehow of a different breed.

this is not about radio play, it's about embracing a novelty electronic song in a slightly ironic wacky way, which applies to both Doc Martin hipsters in 94 re sagat and keffiyah kidz in 09 re wacky fast food song

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 21 June 2009 05:42 (fourteen years ago) link

i don't know if you're 15 or something like the rest of the autogoon cru or whatever, but flannel dudes at my school were def doing the "maaaan... funk dat" thing for about 6 weeks.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 21 June 2009 05:43 (fourteen years ago) link

what about "genie in a bottle" + "hard to explain" - certainly that was "a novelty electronic song" that was embraced in a "slightly ironic wacky way"

xpost: yes. to me that's what makes it fit this mold better. it was referencing the "other".

I don't remember anyone embracing genie in a bottle, but I wasn't hanging around too many ironical dudes at the time

i'd love to be all BUT PEOPLE IN KANSAS CAN READ BLAWGZ, but you're probably right. consider this thread a prediction of pizza song's oncoming cult status.

internet people def know about this esp since it got reviewed on pitchfork but if people at your college were going around referencing "funk dat" for 6 months i can guarantee that people at my college are not sending me texts that say "i'm at the pizza hut!!" and we went to comparable colleges size/city wise

I think maybe I wouldn't have to go on screaming rampages about my shitty job prospects at Twitter conferences if I spent more time looking for work and less time having 2 a.m. chat sessions with people that used to watch Eureeka's Castle.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 21 June 2009 05:53 (fourteen years ago) link

tbh the annual indie fuxxor electornic novelty hit of 09 is that 3OH!3 song

swag serf (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 21 June 2009 05:53 (fourteen years ago) link

3OH3 is mainstream fuxxor iirc

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 21 June 2009 05:54 (fourteen years ago) link

i mean people who are going to women/men/boys/girls warehouse shows probably aren't fucking with 3OH!3 but people who are vampire weekend/decemberists/broken social scene "mainstream" indie fuck with that song as far as i can tell

swag serf (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 21 June 2009 05:56 (fourteen years ago) link

i thought only Bamboozle Fest Fall Out Bros with the big text T-shirts listened to that shit, and no one who actually listened to, like, any indie band that stereogum would cover

I've been meaning to make a shipley-style Idolator post where I categorize the 30 types of hipster so we stop just calling all these disparate groups "hipsters"

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 21 June 2009 06:00 (fourteen years ago) link

im basing that post on small anecdotal evidence but it's not thaaaaat far of a bridge from "discovering" justice to "liking" a 30H!3 song if you listen to stereogum bands

swag serf (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 21 June 2009 06:00 (fourteen years ago) link

im sure lots of it is "this pop song is so bad it's good!!" or whatever but still

swag serf (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 21 June 2009 06:02 (fourteen years ago) link

I was under the impression that 3ought!3 is more of a nu-hot topic band. Like maybe there are some people that like them and justice and vampire collective or whatever but they are just the people that list a bunch of new bands + Johnie Cash (sic) on their social profiles.

idgi, it's more "stupid" than "funny" to me but admittedly I am kind of humorless.

3oh!3 just seems like next-decade sugar ray -- which means more electro-disco and whatever. frat-party warped-tour bad-beer and all that, but ilx 2019 will be repping it.

Pizza Hut is slicing the "pizza" from its boxes and some store signs. The fast food chain will now brand some stores as simply "The Hut."

lol i totally assumed they were gonna chop "hut" because who tf uses that word any more ever

I've only just heard this and Deej OTM. Expected this to be annoying in an awesome, boshing, insanely catchy way and instead it's just annoying in a really half-arsed sub-Flight of the Conchords way.

this is not about radio play, it's about embracing a novelty electronic song in a slightly ironic wacky way, which applies to both Doc Martin hipsters in 94 re sagat and keffiyah kidz in 09 re wacky fast food song

I think you are overthinking this man - it's more about "there have always been novelty records and people dig a good novelty record every now and then" & moreover the pop charts have pretty much vaccinated themselves against good novelty records so if you're gonna enjoy a nice stupid summer novelty jam it's gonna have to come from homemade style stuff

IOW it doesn't really have much to do with hipsters except that they're the ones making the novelty records. if Rick Dees wants to get off his ass and write a good sequel to "Disco Duck," everybody'll throw down for that too for for the time being it's people who claim Brooklyn comin w/insightful wry observations about the intersections of commercial culture & personal interaction

look for my presentation on this in Seattle this year

i kind of miss the old days of thinkpieces on M.I.A. or Odd Future instead of people whose music basically functions as thinkpieces responding to unwritten thinkpieces like Das Racist and #seapunk

it's complicated. i mean, i think it will become more of a thing in the coming day or two. but it's hard for places actual news sites to run a story like this based of just a tumblr post. maybe someone will get an interview with the girl or something that would help solidify things a bit.

which of course isn't to say that the accusation isn't legitimate... but it's a tricky area when you're talking about covering it on a wide scale

i think we know why they were assholes to some dude though:

It was rad and he spent a bunch of time making fun of me for coming to his show alone and then some dude rushes up to us and is being super annoying asking for Dap’s autograph and just generally being terrible until Dap just puts a hand up and goes,

“Dude. Can’t you see I’m busy? I don’t know if you’ve met my wife. But this is Gwen. My wife. My WIFE okay?? So I’d appreciate it if I could have some time alone with her.”

I really enjoyed DR's music but it's been pretty clear for the last couple years that they weren't enjoying what they were doing together. I don't remember the last time I saw a band get as jaded as quickly as these guys have

I will miss their brand of hip-hop, though. I know a lot of people dismiss them but I always found them refreshing. my ears are probably broken though
