Book review…Hipster Haiku
Here’s what a Haiku is:
Definition
hai·ku
NOUN
1. short Japanese poem: a form of Japanese poetry with 17 syllables in three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, often describing nature or a season
OK…now that everyone knows what that means…I just got done reading the book Hipster Haiku written by Siobhan Adcock. 
I enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Hipsters.
Only problem is…it’s extremely short. There is only one Haiku per page, and Haiku are only three short lines each. That means most of the space on each page is blank! It does make the poems look nice though…
Here’s my go at one…
Writing Hipster poetry is hard
It’s important to be witty

Now on Netflix…Workaholics!
I’m going to give the HipsterApproved Seal to the show Workaholics which has it’s first season now streaming at Netflix! The show is on Comedy Central if you have cable.
It’s a hip stoner office situation comedy. Since it’s on cable it’s allowed to get pretty wild!
One particular funny thing I heard was someone comparing the character ‘Blake’ to Captain Caveman!
That got me thinking about how much the DJ Skrillex looks like Corey Feldman. Well…when I went to look for pictures of them, I found out I’m not the first person to think so…
This photo of the two of them together proves it's not just one person.
By the way…check out this song that Skrillex made with the members of The Doors called Breakn’ A Sweat.
Jeff Mangum adds dates to tour…
Jeff Mangum, former frontman of ultra-hip band Neutral Milk Hotel has added a few more dates to his current tour…including Coachella.
Unfortunately for me…the closest he’s coming here is the Lincoln Theatre (with the Music Tapes) in Washington, DC next week, Jan 27th and 28th. And as of yet, I have no confirmed plans to attend either show. It appears neither show has two seats together at this time. (Tickets could still be put back into the TicketMaster system until it is officially labeled sold out.) (If someone makes it to a show, and would like to be a contributor…let me know at info@HipsterApproved.net)
While poking around Pitchfork.com I came across this video of a surprise set at Occupy Wall Street in NYC this past Oct. Pretty cool….
Lana Del Rey on SNL
Did you catch ‘internet sensation’ Lana Del Rey on SNL this past Saturday? It seems her performance is being bashed pretty hard. I thought it was OK. I’m not really familiar with her work, so I didn’t have a reference to compare it to. I definitely think she’s a hipster.
I just remembered there’s a free download of her single ‘Born to Die’ still available on iTunes. So you may want to get that.
I heard at the end of the show that on Saturday Feb 4th, Bon Iver is the musical guest. REALLY looking forward to that. If you’re not familiar with Bon Iver, you really owe it to yourself to check it out!

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve started the Flickr account to show some pictures.
I’ve got a bunch on there, but there’s still a lot more to come, so check them out and check back often!
Tell all your friends!!!

I want to go to there…
Hipsters on TV…Jack White on ‘Pickers’
Is there anyone more Hip than Jack White? I don’t think so. From The White Stripes, to The Raconteurs, and also The Dead Weather. Jack is the best.
I have recently watched entire seasons of the reality show called American Pickers on Netflix. Love it. Problem is I don’t have cable so I can’t see recent episodes. Thank God for youtube. Or watch the full episode over at the History Channel.
Breaking Local NEWS…Jane’s Addiction!
It was announced today that pre-sale tickets for fan club members only are currently on sale for Jane’s Addiction‘s THEATRE OF THE ESCAPISTS TOUR. (with Black Box Revelation)
The show is coming to the National Theater in Richmond, Virginia on Friday March 9th. Unfortunately general admission tickets ($44.95) are already SOLD OUT. As I write this…there are still tickets available for the Ticket + Autographed Lithograph package deal ($74.95).
Now I believe these are just the pre-sale tickets that are sold out, and more tickets will be put on sale when the show goes on-sale to the general public on Saturday January 14th.
