Hey does anybody know where that T.Hanks photo is from? I saw it in real life, and I can't place where or when. Is it in Montreal? Or Chicago? or Austin? It seems like some Austin shit now that I think about it.

cutty, Monday, 14 June 2010 23:31 (thirteen years ago) link

com truise = come trues

not really "funny" really. the lesson learned from this is that I should really stop expressing my idiosyncratic sense of humor around sgt. weingarten funny police so he doesn't get into a tizzy

Krystal Chic (crüt), Monday, 14 June 2010 23:38 (thirteen years ago) link

there's also a Jichael Mackson. fucking lame. i do like that Com Truise cover image tho.

mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 15 June 2010 01:09 (thirteen years ago) link

How about Tina Turner? See what I did there, with the switching of the first letters of her first and last name? (It's just a matter of time.)

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 June 2010 01:11 (thirteen years ago) link

jichael mackson has nothing to do with chillwave, relax blueski, you get way too upset these days

cutty, Tuesday, 15 June 2010 01:14 (thirteen years ago) link

So what exactly is Jichael Mackson? I'm inclined to hate it whatever it is.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 June 2010 01:15 (thirteen years ago) link

it's techno

"We're SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS, and we're here to write the heaviest, fastest, and most brutal music we can possibly come up with. As some of you may already know, we were in a band called Fate (ex-Metal Blade Records) for a while but that is no longer the case. We still feel that uncontrollable need to bring you the metal so we hope you guys enjoy. Keep it brutal."

Last night phone conversation with my 17-year-old brother:

Bro: I've been looking on eBay for Hypercolor shirts.
Me: Whaaaat? How do you even know about them?
Bro: There's this band I like, where they all wear Hypercolor shirts, and the guy wears a Power Glove in every video.
Me: What are they called?
Bro: HYPER CRUSH.

It looks like that poor young lady has been stripped of her Hypercolor.

Sorry, I was just thinking "whose names are just '80s ephemera," I don't even know what chillwave is tbh.

tell your brother they sell hypercolor at AMERICAN APPAREL now

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 15 June 2010 14:38 (thirteen years ago) link

Hypercolor revival! I bought some Hypercolor space putty as a stocking filler last Christmas and kept a pot for myself. Minutes of fun warming it up and sticking it in the freezer. "Ahh, a faint colour change! well ok then." But maybe I can impress the too-young-to-remember-it-the-first-time-round dude in the office with my set of similarly weak Hypercolor ball-point pens.

This could go on the pitchfork is dumb thread, but I figured I'd post it here....cannot...believe.....

Mark Webber is a busy guy. In addition to being a member of haze-gazers Neon Canyon, the Canadian musician has a like-minded solo project, Memory Screen, as well as a hand in art-pop duo Japan Sue.

it just feels like this shit has doubled back on itself, for real.

the first band to dress up their effects pedals so it looks like a power pad will get a stern, disapproving look from me (although in private I will high five them and say it was a funny idea)
