What are the Hipster Albums of 2009?

alt weekly, imo

xp to jho

raekwon

I know I am going to offend but I can't stand XX or whatever it's called. No soul. I am never reading mainstream music press again until they stop being such dorks. You can find stuff that is 10,000 times better in indie electronica.

totally

but they are young and like cool bands? isn't that enough to convince you their music is good?

;-)

neon indian iirc

yes, otm

blank dogs probably

The Essential "Weird Al" Yankovic

are blank dogs popular enuff?

i'm so sad i saw that band live. ruined everything for me.

Nigel Metal's Main Magazine Decibel has published their top 40.

don't really mind animated gifs of people blowin their heads off (well, not REAL people anyway) but wtf is that from - has an odd look to it

'the black dahlia'

: /

I realize it is fictional fer chrissakes, it's just kinda really crass & offensive. otoh I feel like I'm the only one in the world ever to be offended by anything anymore so keep on trucking people

^^^^not very hip

i've always wanted to use chill out yall in a sentence.

I travelled through a land of men,
A land of men and women too,
And heard and saw such dreadful things
As cold earth wanderers never knew.

For there the babe is born in joy
That was begotten in dire woe,
Just as we reap in joy the fruit
Which we in bitter tears did sow;

And if the babe is born a boy
He’s given to a woman old,
Who nails him down upon a rock,
Catches his shrieks in cups of gold.

She binds iron thorns around his head,
And pierces both his hands and feet,
And cuts his heart out of his side
To make it feel both cold & heat.

Her fingers number every nerve
Just as a miser counts his gold;
She lives upon his shrieks and cries—
And she grows young as he grows old,

Till he becomes a bleeding youth
And she becomes a virgin bright;
Then he rends up his manacles
And pins her down for his delight.

He plants himself in all her nerves
Just as a husbandman his mould,
And she bcomes his dwelling-place
And garden, frutiful seventyfold.

An aged shadow soon he fades,
Wandering round and earthly cot,
Full filled all with gems and gold
Which he by industry had got.

i'd like to thank errbody that contributed to the killing of this thread

and reviving it

lolz Black Dahlia I saw that, what a mess that film was

worse than the band?

no, but it is still really terrible

re film : shame. i enjoyed the book and so have been waiting to see the film. guess i'll scrub that from my list then.

and avoid the metalcore band too

in my world, that goes without saying, but ta for the confirmation.
so, back to these hipster albums ..
i'm relying on this thread for future reference when they all appear in fopp @ £3 given that i have fallen off the radar in '09 (too much miles davis/david axelrod ..)

the film has its good points (as per usual with DePalma there is one long reveal-tracking shot that is fantastic). by contrast, the ending shot/sequence is some of the most laughably bad shit ever. also the acting is by and large terrible. and he takes at least one major liberty with the book that is completely against the grain of Elroy's writing (i.e., having one of the protagonists kill a woman)

no mention of monoliths and dimensions yet? for shame

doesn't get any hipper than this, people!

These Violens types any good then? I know the name entirely because they are about to support the band White Lies on tour and I can say that is not a thing that piques my interest as a rule

i like it. their stuff from the EP they did and a single is on youtube. reminds me of lansing-dreiden, and that's a good thing with me. one of them was/is a part of lansing-dreiden, i think? the singer/guitar guy. i never look these kinds of things up.

the xx nme's no2 album ('no 2' quite appropriate)

this thread will devolve very soon into an argument about what constitutes a "hipster album" and what being a "hipster" entails

someone will make the hilarious joke that a very well-known album is a "hipster album" and then others will defend it

prediction FAIL

tf is chillwave?

lol that nme 2009 list is really like 'oh shit we spend the decade listening to the wrong music fuck fuck fuck'

whenever I think of chillwave I think of jimmy buffet I don't know why

also whenever I see a genre name on ilm that I haven't seen anywhere else I feel as though I have been infected

lol that nme 2009 list is really like 'oh shit we spend the decade listening to the wrong music fuck fuck fuck'

hahaha, we need someone to re-enact this and put it to film.

Someone deleting all the McFly mp3s and "speed-listening" through the Grizzly Bear and Fever Ray albums.

i think they would be more concerned with we spent the decade trying to sell the wrong music to our readers fuck fuck fuck.

lol @ the NME review snippet for Dirty Projectors: The only real difficulty is that they almost sound like a brilliant pop band - yeah, and then they fuck it up hardcore!!!!!
