Nice picture. Choreographed or happenstance bicep vanishing points?

The funny thing is you aging Gen Xers think of this as "cool music".

But to a pre-teen this would be "a lot of weird crappy bands my Dad likes".

So Bumbershoot really has gone back to its roots!

I agree. I have friends who were in bands back when Dream Syndicate and Luscious Jackson were relevant. They have kids who are teenagers now, who take seriously their studies in architecture, chemistry, psychology, etc. Can almost say for certain these kids don't visit Slog, which is written and commented on by mostly old white men.

I'm saving my money for when Taylor Momsen comes to town in October.

@3 and 9: You must have such a lonely life, making constant weird trolly comments, every fucking day, all fucking day, on this site. Do you have a full life? Outside of this place, I mean. I'm asking.

It takes me a few tens of seconds to conceive and write a comment...unlike yourself, where you have to scratch it out on paper for hours..."ciphering" in your head...taking time to look up the big words over six letters, and then getting your spinster sister to enter it on the 'puter for you.

@11 So... It sounds like the answer is no, then? I'm sorry. You must be kind of sad.

The sad thing is that there seem to be like 10 people sitting around in boiler rooms waiting for me to make a comment (which takes me 20 seconds to write) so they can explode like madman about some perceived entrance or challenge to their "turf".

@3, @4 because of course you aren't aging hipster white guys yourselves. You're obviously ultra-with-it multi-racial pre-teens.

But pre-teens aren't actually a very good measure of cool, anyway. Pre-teens are the ones who make Justin Bieber a superstar. I want to know what the 23-year-old conceptual artists are listening to.

"'That guy should pull his pants up,' observed an older attendee, unimpressed with his bright red tighty-whities."

By virtue of my ever-shifting physique, poor planning, and total aversion to buying new clothes, I found myself belt-less and saggy-panted this weekend (fortunately, for society at large and what's left of my self-esteem, hardly anyone saw me).

Politics and fashion aside, All I will say is this: what an annoying trend that must be for the young people who choose to engage in it. I was always clutching at my waistline to keep my shorts from falling off, when I had much more interesting things that I could have been doing with my hands (that sounds dirty, but isn't meant that way ) It ranks right down there with the Edwardian-era hobble skirt when it comes to discomfort and impracticality.

I will not be one of those boorish old people who demands that young men pull their pants up. But I will be the person to quietly murmur "why did they let them sag in the first place?"

@14: Thoroughly agree -- why should One Reel be concerned with attracting and satisfying the pre-teen market? Not exactly the hip/sophisticated demographic that "Supreme Ruler" cluelessly takes them for. Lust or harmless puppy-love, SR?

Please wait...
