Because I'm "indie" I've seen the process a million times: Personal ambition => criticism of marginal 'elitist' forms => irony as expression of ambivalence (but mostly attraction) towards mainstream => indie media as wooden horse => insurgents converge indie media towards mainstream models => insurgents eventually gain place for themselves in mainstream media, but leave the vehicle of their entryism weakened and in identity crisis => indie media eventually acquired, predated, closed.

That is the most brilliant and right on sentence I think I have ever read. Of course by being accepting of it I am helping to initiate the next cycle of self-deprecating irony, but the irony in that is delicious my dear.

If you don't read (and/or) listen to imomus you are missing out on being able to angrily say later "I was totally read momus before he was >1000 friend of." not only will you get major old school e-points but also +5 self-deprecating irony and/or street cred acceptance points depending on your current irony scene index. just so ya know.

Also ALSO. go watch THIS right now. It's a discovery channel show about SHARKS which JUMP OUT OF THE WATER to eat seals. They are the coolest ever. hello why are you still even reading and not over there watching? SHARKS JUMPING OUT OF WATER PEOPLE. JUST LIKE THE STUPID JAWS RIDE AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ONLY MINUS THE WHOLE MADE OF PLASTIC AND 1/10 SPEED. I can not believe you are still even here.

I know everyone hates the myspace profile music embed thing, but my awesome boyfriend has invented and perfected the new artform of making volume slider/rr button/ff/button/track total slider usage for crossfade, scratching and mixing from people's myspace profile music embeds. Right now he is mixing "Nobody does it better", some kind of opera, with a little acapella emosoul singing, a little girl chanting and some jazzy slow beat. and a piano solo. It's awesome I swear. but totally not as awesome as those SHARKS JUMPING OUT OF WATER AMIRITE? I am going to record some and throw it up later and will totally give you the myspace music profile so you can totally be able to sneer "I started listening back when hep first posted the myspace music profile of whatever-regulate-names-his-"band"-plz-advize" when this is the next big music genre underground scene turns major trend exploitation to justify why you still listen to it even tho it SO JUMPED THE SHARK, ok? even you over there, the one who keeps claiming you never read but tail -f says instead you refresh repeatedly. At least be honest about your e-jealousy/superiority and leave it on your flist. it's more lol that way anyway. Who people "look down on" (secretly compare themselves against) says a lot about themselves I think. Not sure what tho. Wow almost a deep moment there. Glad we avoided it because I am too ADHD and got caught up watching that shark video again when I said jumped the shark.

By the totally unrelated way does any one know any windows based programs that would capture all audio output cause I use a mac and someone is just too stubborn to admit that Macs are better at SOMETHING. Perhaps that can be an ironic trackname.

The Gods of Advertising and Mainstream Media punished me for not being a mainstream computerconsumer today. Regulate and I were looking up shows to see and saw one playing at the "HP Pavilion". Since I could think of more than one Pavilion in the Bay Area and don't really watch tv or listen to the radio I had no idea which Pavilion has sold out. Thank god SF voters approved a ban on renaming Candlestick from Candlestick at the end of Monster's lease. At least Monster Park is better than 3com tho. I can tell people "Take the Monster Exit" to get to my place. RAWR HEPZILLA STOMP 3COM BUILDING. GREAT HEP SHARK JUMP OUT OF WATER YOU DIE!

don't fuck with me man.

ALSO also: Who wants to bonfire at ocean beach this weekend? Whichever night is nicest.
