When MCA died I was searching the internet about him…
I came across these interviews with Adam ‘Adrock’ Horovitz talking about the origins of the Beastie Boys and the use of samplers and beat boxes. It was put out by the sample machine manufacturer Propellerhead.
Also posted were all the outtakes that ended up on the editing floor. This may even be better because it’s longer…
I was able to check out a little cable TV the other day, and saw a preview that The Black Keys were going to be on a great show on the Travel Channel called Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. I don’t have cable TV, but some episodes are on Netflix …if you have that. You’ll probably have to wait a while for this newer episode to be added to the queue though.
If you are not familiar with the show, I highly recommend it. One thing that I remember Anthony say that I totally agree with is “Be a traveler, not a tourist.” I can relate to that completely. I love to travel, but hate tourist traps. Here’s more info on Anthony -> wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Bourdain
I was able to find a clip of the show on YouTube, but you can watch the full episode here-> travelchannel.com/video/tony-and-the-black-keys
Great to be back at HipsterApproved World Headquarters in scenic Ocean View, Virginia.
Just completed a short visit to the hipster city of Columbus, Ohio. Watch for photos to be posted soon…like this one…
Anyway..my mailbox had some cool stuff in it… For example the new Soundgarden song ‘Live To Rise‘ available as a FREE download on iTunes. All hipsters have iTunes, right? The song is great! It’s off of the Avengers soundtrack.
Speaking of iTunes…Jack White is providing streaming of his entire debut album Blunderbuss – free for a limited time. I’ve been listening to it, and I really look forward to getting a copy of my own on April 24th 2012! It’s some of his best work…And that statement is huge!



Also, speaking of great new music…I’ve been listening to a lot of the new Shins release Port of Morrow. It’s genius. I was lucky enough to get the 4-track acoustic EP because I got it at an independent record store (Birdland in Va Beach). I recommend trying to get it.
I really like the Broken Bells release. I basically like all the James Mercer stuff I can find.

The American Hipster Channel is up and running on YouTube.
First there was the teaser trailer ….
I enjoyed the premier video on San Francisco’s Bon Vivants. It was well shot, and looked like a fun time. I look forward to more from this American Hipster series.
The Hipster Grandmas were horrible. It’s very sophomoric and amateurish. One person is made up to look old, the other is in drag and made to look old. Avoid.
Max’s Movie Reviews started slow…he reviewed a ‘Cult Classic’ Mad Max, and I thought all his reviews would be old movies. His latest review is of the Hunger Games, so he’s up-to-date now. This series is pretty funny.
The latest…which has gone viral is the Eat It Don’t Tweet It video that American Hipster made with The Key of Awesome. The song and video remind me of the Bondi Hipsters who just put their video out called The Life Organic on YouTube as well.
Here’s the outtakes from the making of the video…
This channel is one more step in the attempt to move television viewing to a more specified audience via the web instead of network TV… Though I’m sure you’ll still be seeing all the majors with a .com after their name as well. They are The Man and all.
Also..this just in…the Hipster Grandmas made a video to reply to comments left on their channel. You’ll see that they talk about the HipsterApproved comment first.
Priceless.
