Sweet treats for the literary, the musical, the feminine, and the generally filthy.

Pop Culture Digest


This has been floating around the H St. crews, so naturally it's passe by this point. (Though it will most likely be making an appearance on some vertical surface in The Compound in the near to immediate future): the evolution of the hipster, ten years in the making.
Also, this magazine is probably going in my bookmarks and on my radar.

So have I still not regaled my laden adventure to DAR a couple weeks ago?? I am remiss for it, as I was for missing half of Mew's opening set! But the half that I did catch was unforgettable. One of the most poignant live sets I've seen in a while, and made me fall in love with this song from their new album, which I always liked, but "Palace Players" was just so mind-blowing at first that it was hard to focus on anything else.

Fun Factoid, also, figured it out on piano (so easy, just D maj, G maj, A min, B), on my delicious-sounding Roland FP-7, and have been banging it out in all manor of discordant, potentially beautiful re-phrasings.
