seen any sick utube vids l8ly?


yall
just went to the guggyheim
lookin to score
some sick
'cultural education'

livin in nyc
sorta feel
like im always pressured
into finding what's
'hip'/'kewl'/'fashionable'/'authentic'

i thought
maybe going to some
'respected cultural institution'
might make me feel
more 'artsy' & 'relevant'
& possibly even more
'ghey'

but all they were showing
was utube

these r the things i learned:

conservative media is funnie


suicide is funnie


LSD is good


pot is good


blow jobs r good

thanks a lot, guggi
i learned a lot 2day
<3 u

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
whats ur favorite artsy utube vid?
have u ever created a 'meaningful short film,' posted it on utube, and gotten less than 20 hits?
are these films more 'meaningful'/'artsy'/'funnie'/'pointless' than the winnebago man?

do feel pressure to dress weird/be artsy/see culture in order to prove how 'alt' u are?

what'd u do 2day?


In the courtyard
At the MoMA
People are writing wishes
And tying them to a tree

People are taking pictures
And people are sitting in chairs
And a man
Who was doing a crossword
Stands up
To meet his friend

On 5th Avenue
In the Street
There's a parade
And loud drums

There are people
On the sidewalk
Eating hot dogs
And people driving
In their cars

In Central Park
By Turtle Pond
A man
Wearing a blue hat
Flies a kite
On a fishing line
Tying silver garland
As he lets his line out
5 silver strands
Fluttering in the blue sky
Over children and parents
Boys playing soccer
Widows
And old men

In the photo store
On 9th Avenue
People wait in line
To buy cameras

They're buying cameras
And lenses
TVs and speakers
And they're waiting in line
Eating pretzels

On Bleeker Street
In the Village
People carry shopping bags
And eat cupcakes

People drink coffee in cafes
And browse books in the bookstore
They eat noodles and hamburgers
Sushi and burritos
And ride bikes and skateboards
And listen to their headphones

On the bridge
To Brooklyn
People jog and they walk
As the sun sets behind them
And turns the beams red

Bedford Avenue is busy, too
Grocery stores and restaurants
Bars and cafes
Bookstores, record stores, botiques
And bodegas
People packed around tables
On the sidewalk

And in my apartment
I'm making pizza and cookies
And drinking wine
With my friends

A record is playing
It goes round and round

What did you wish for, today?

r yall excited for the new facebook movie?


cant wait
so pumped
abt to cream my pants
bout the new james cameron 3D film
'the facial network'
staring that chill bro
from
'the squid, the whale, the dysfunctional parents, and the angsty tween'

as
Mark Zuckyburgs
founder of the INTERNET
no more need
for landline phones
hand-written letters
face-2-face conversation
just gonna sit in my room
& update my status
with quirky movie quotes
how 'crunk' i got last nite
or how much i <3 twilight/glee/star wars/harry twatter
thank u
mark zuckyburgers
4 making human interaction irrelevant
u r a genius
punk
so c00l
s0 chill

wonder if i should make my profile pic
the movie poster 4 'the facejob network'
not 2 b 'meta' or 'ironic'
just 2 show
marky mark
how much i <3 him
how much i use his website
to stalk ex gf's/bf's/random ppl i'm obsessed with
u r so kute, mark
wish i could have met u in college
instead of ur fugly ass sister

im w/u all the way, bro
screw humanity
we will transcend mnstream earth-bound existence
we will transform from beings of blood and flesh
to bundles of JPEG digital pixels
1 little picture
representing my personal brand
shows how unique & authentic i am
compared to the rest of mnstrm societie

'networking'
'love'
'connections'
'stalking'
this is what life is all abt
but no1 knew this b4 u, mark
u went to Harvard
surpassed us all
u live
on the internet
sort of like Jesusbro/ghosts
who exist in the air
never rlly seen, but always 'there'
permeating, infiltrating, penetrating
everything we do

gonna bring my MacBook Pro/iPad/iPhone 4G/droid/starbucks
2 the movie premiere
gonna sit by 'myself'
but will frequently update my status/profile
w/relevant dialogue/quotes
& webcam shots of myself
so all my 'friends' will know
where i am
and we will be
'connected'
[via the face]

<3 u, mark
hear u've already been nominated for an academy award
which is more nominations than myspace/twitter ever got
even tho ur film
just looks like a rip-off/girl talk mashup
of other shittie movies
st. elmo's fire + dead poetbros society + a beautiful bro's mind
u will win
my fav movie
of all time
<3 u mark
keep it facial

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
is 'the facial network' the gr8est movie evr?
is mark zuckyburgs the new justin timberlake?
would u bang mark for $______?
whats ur favorite fb ap?
will fb/mark zucky b 'relevant 4evar'?
should i deactivate my fb account?
are you actually 'friends' w/anyone n e more?
which fb profile pic best represents ur personal brand?
were u on fb when it was still 'underground'?
is the internets causing societie 2 become illiterate, socially incompetent, shallow, hollow, empty, & detached from realitie?

what do u do 2 hav fun, george?


what r u
twin shadow
where r u
twin shadbro
o who r u
queer shadshow

saw u on u t00b
bought a tix to ur show
@@@ le poisson rouge
so pumped
so chilled
an obscure chillwave band
@@@ a relevant alt venue
under the streets of nyu
the altiest of alt universities
but i got there too l8
or u went on too early
7PM???
christ, who the hell r u playing for?
oh
i see
18 and up
oh

how r u
twin shadow
when r u playin
twin shadbro
r u queer or ghey
queer shadshow

as i walked down the stairs
we made eye contact
& b4 i recognized u from the internet
i saw in ur eyes
a burning fire -
u were ready to fcuk
fcuk away your loneliness
anxiety
fear
brought on by the burden
of emerging as the only relevant buzzband
of 2k10
the future of chillwavves
resting on ur hot ass Dominican shoulders
and your hot ass porn star 'stache

what r u
twin shadow
r human or just meme
twin shadbro
r u in pain
queer shadshow

saw u outside the club
cramming ur gear into
the back of a grandpabro car
u had to drive urself 2 the concert?
damn, bro
starting to wonder if ur actually legit
or just so altesquely vintage
u exist in a sphere of authenticity
not even most worthless 20-smethngs
wllmsbrg inhabitants
can comprehend

twin shads, twin bros
queer shads, hurt shads
i just want u 2 b happy
but im worried abt u
[via 'the state of modern music']
used to seem music
was abt music, bro
and musician bros were primarily
down 'to jam chill vibes'
now its abt a packaged image
quirky JPEG iTunes album art cover flow
8.6+ p4k scores
& even tho u sell urself as a bro who's
'dwn2fcuk'
ur probs just as sad, lonely, insecure
as 'the rest of us'

twin shadow
twin shadbro
how i <3 u
queer shadshow
i think u r chill
so keep it reals, yo
don't let me down
just keep it slow
u have a talent
real real big talent
thanks

<3 u twin shads

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
have u heard of twin shadow?
r u queer for twin shadbro?
have u ever been in a porn?
do u like muscle cars?
has an indie buzzband singer ever 'eyefcked u' in a stairway/on stage?
is george the chillest/altest bro on Planet Alt?
is this music 'good', or just 'trivial forgettable bllsht?'
do ppl actually listen 2 music they like, or just what p4k tells them 2 like?

what r these sounds?


listen
to the
symphony
of
the city

the rattle
of
plastic cups
on
pavement

and the
squeeech
of
bus brakes

a vruumvruummmming
motorcycle
on the
overpass

and
latin music
from the
cantina
across
the street

listen
to this
awful
wonderful
place

put
your
ear
down
to the
sidewalk cracks

and
listen
to the
thumping
of
bike wheels
on
bedford
foot flaps
on
union
the hot hum
of the
subway
worming
through the
underbelly

listen
and
taste
the sickness
and
respawning
of
air
one eye
in
one eye
out


and it
sings
to you
and you
listen
