hey jetbin, its been going very well.i met this insanely perfect gentleman in manhattan and scored a trip to fucking DUBAI BABYYY suffice to say my life is quite insane right now

also its true, in dubai you really do bet on camels

That place is a weird fucked up fantasy world in the middle of the desert built on slave labor! I had fun there too.

I'm angry about this.

I love the washboarder's intensity. I don't play washboard anywhere near as intensely.
I've never hated Reggae and will find it nice to listen to if I happen to be somewhere it was playing, but I've never actively sought out reggae to listen to on my own time.

I mentioned it below but my ex wife had one of their albums, but I think this is their newer stuff. To me, it kinda sounded like Gogol Bordello, just sort of kitchen sink of styles. But then again, why not just listen to Gogol Bordello? I hate to speak ill of the dead, but these guys are like Sublime is to Reggae. Just listen to Toots and the Maytals, you know?

You called it, orcs!

Once in a while they still pop up on my Andrew Jackson Jihad Pandora station, even though I keep thumbs downing it. My ex wife liked these guys, and the Old 97s, but that was around 2009. So I hate it even more! Yay for passive aggressive hipster aggression! :)

Only two people like psychobilly: my sixty year-old dad, and hipsters.

The last show I went to that I'd file under "psychobilly" was Kid Congo Powers, mostly because of the association with The Cramps and the Gun Club. And boy did I feel out of place. The entire place was black leather and spikes and I was wearing my white fake fur hoodie and bandanas, they had slicked back hair and my hair was a mess.. they were nice but I definitely didn't fit in with that scene and nobody wanted anything to do with me. So really, that's more "scenester" than hipster. Hipsters would say that psychobilly's not hipster and the psychobilly crowd would say they're not hipsters like me, making them hipsters too I guess.. the cycle continues..

Everyone who says they're not a hipster, is a hipster. The louder they protest, the more hipster they are.

These oogles are the new Arcade Fire, the only question now is how long before their Arcade Fire 2004 turns into Arcade Fire 2011.

Funny you should say that, I usually have "Sprawl Pt. 2" on my little mix. I think it's their best song, or at least a really fun song to ride my bike to. Reflector's pretty solid too IMO. Wasn't a big fan of Funeral.

psychobilly is absolute shit i am a hardcore/punk kid from day 1 and psychobilly has always been fucking horrible

Can we all stop for a second and make fun of fluffy for misreading the title?

Oh.

Most street musicians I see busking actually do dress in sort of a steampunk style..

for fluffy

I will call my steampunk band "Goggles Bordello"

***** for everything right here.

Haha that's a perfect way of saying it.

There's this bar I like to go to that has an open kitchen and a jukebox. The pinball machines are basically in the confluence between where you can hear the kitchen's death metal (it's always loud death metal) and usually some brodude's Dave Matthews Band song pick. That's kind of what this reminds me of.
