Hipster Music

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart .... That's all I've read in every hipster magazine, heard coming out of people's mouths, they're even featured on Myspace every so often, but not heard on the radio. And that's how I like it.

This band is a definite must hear. If your in the mood for something you've never ever heard before, then you'll love this. If you're going to check them out, I suggest hearing out "Everything With You". The video is just as sweet as the song. This little under-the-radar indie band is just starting to break out into the music scene. Get out from behind the curtains, TPOBPAH, you're name is in bright lights out here. Speaking of their name ... even the acronym of the name of this band is long. Who do they think they are, Fall Out Boy with their long titles?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but after many refusals of listening to NeverShoutNever (solely for the fact that I've seen way too many scene kids wearing the tee shirts, which means that it's way too mainstream for my liking, and probably involves a lot of whining), I bumped into a song of his. (I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it's a one man band with a guitar and a ukulele en tow. Check out "Trouble" and "LoversLoveLiarsLie". It's not my new favorite band, but it's tolerable. Maybe once he hits puberty, his more mature songs will rock the charts. Oops....who said that?

Thanks to Rob, I am now completely head over heels in love with Bowerbirds. I can't even suggest a song for you to listen to, because they are all incredible. www.myspace.com/bowerbirds. Get into it!!!!

I should really take this up as a career ... or lessen then free time I have on my hands.

Get Into It!!!!!!!!

Last night I made it a point to spend as much time as possible with my friends before leaving for El Salvador this coming Saturday.

Turns out, we all really wanted to hang out with each other for as long as possible, because our night didn't end until 5am. Get into it!!!!!

I have the best friends in the world. Julian is my life line, and the rest of them are waaaaay too much fun. The two characters above are my two favorite hipster kids, Julian and Andrew. We have way too much fun for our own good.) Oh and I learned the coolest game last night. It's called Black Magic, it totally sucks at first, because the object of the game is to figure out how you play it. Totally mind blowing. It took me nine hours to figure out how the game works. I can't even think about it, it makes me mad. 

Last night, while walking down the streets of New Funswick, I heard the best line ever ... an older lady (kind of) yelling in an italian accent on the other side of the street, "Who are all these hipsta kids running through the streets?" It made my night, for sure.

Friends make everything easier on life. You forget about everything that just isn't going your way, and listen to your friends' bands' new song, live in their living room, and life just got a little sweeter. And you just can't be bitter over the garbage that happened earlier in the day, when you're skateboarding across the kitchen floor with Ricatelli squeezed onto the back of the board. TLJDTSC -  The Leather Jacket Double Team Skate Crew. We rule. And you definitely can't be mad when two of your friends show up at the same party with the exact same outfit on. Akward. But really funny. Hipster Twins. It happens. Get into it.

Sorry for the lack of blog yesterday, and sorry this one was kind of irrelevant. I've just been SO busy packing and trying to get my life into one piece of luggage and trying to make sure it doesn't go over fifty pounds. You know what, I never thought about that. How DO you fit your life for one week into one rectangular bag, and keep it under 50 pounds. That's rough and totally mind blowing. 

OH .... Update ... I WILL be bringing my laptop to El Salvador, because I'm going to be blogging the entire trip for the church. Funny how THAT worked out, isn't it? Looks like Hipster Sister is starting a little trend here with all this blogging action. It's contagious. BUT, just because I have my laptop, doesn't mean that I will be on AIM and Myspace and Facebook and what not. Because I will really probably just not go on it at all while I'm there.  The only communication I will be able to have is via email, so is you're having a hard time with my lack of existence in NJ for one week, feel free to email me. My email is alipinho@mac.com. Send me love letters. Again, I will still have no cell phone there. Verizon doesn't work there, obviously. 

Get Into It!!!!!!!
