Why didn’t I know about this?….HipsterApproved.net
I don’t know about you…but my Twitter account about exploded yesterday during the Presidential debates when Romney mentioned his “Binders Full Of Women”.
It has gone totally viral. Even more so than when he said he wants to fire Big Bird of Sesame Street. 
The Tumblr site Binders Full Of Women has some very funny items. Definitely check that out…how fast did that site come up?
What the ‘binders’ reminded me of was a skit from The Beavis and Butt-head Experience CD when Beavis and Butt-head went on the band Anthrax‘s tour bus and got to look through their ‘Photo Album of Naked Chicks’.
They pose as letters of the alphabet…you should see letters ‘O’ and ‘U’.
Classic…
Total hipster band Pinback have released their new full-release ‘Information Retrieved‘ today on Temporary Residence Ltd. From what I’ve heard, it sounds great. For some reason I didn’t get a promo copy?
It is available on Amazon.com for just $3.99
This just in…ultra hip band ‘Band of Horses‘ is scheduled to perform at The National Theater in downtown Richmond, Virginia on Saturday December 15th, 2012.
Tickets go on-sale 9/28/12 at 10:am. Tickets are $25 plus a service fee of $7..so $32 a ticket. Yikes…
Opening act is Jason Lytle (of the band Grandaddy)
“I want to go to there…”
“I want to go to there…”
I saw that The Norva added Sleigh Bells to their concert line-up on Saturday Oct 6th. Tickets are $20 (+ fees) in advance. (They are also playing The National Theater in Richmond the next day, Oct 7th)
I’m not really familiar with Sleigh Bells. The most I’ve heard them is when they were on SNL last year, and they didn’t seem like ‘my-cup-of-tea’. They kind of remind me of the ’90s band Curve ( and maybe Garbage).
I wasn’t even going to add them to the Local Calendar until I saw them listed in this article in LAweekly.com called The 20 Worst Hipster Bands.
Here’s what LAweekly has to say about them:
#18. Sleigh Bells
Remember in 2010, when we all lost our collective minds over these guys, with their iPod beats, garage-metal guitars and schoolyard-chant vocals? It was, like, the most original sound ever! Then the second album came out and everyone was more like, “Huh. Actually, this kinda sounds like shit.” Also, Alexis Krauss started wearing her own band merch at shows, which you’re really only allowed to do if you’re Morrissey.
-Andy Hermann
The LAweekly article is funny as hell, but I don’t agree with most of the bands on the list. I mean…they have Bon Iver as the #1 worst band! Everyone knows they’re awesome.
So I think Sleigh Bells being on the list of the Worst Bands makes them kind of hip. I’d even be willing to go check them out (if someone can hook me up with a guest pass (plus one?)) Email me for contact info.

But all the cliques and clubs there drive him mad
He watches all the scooter boys and their ugly fringe-chick girls
