Going Out

Some of you whined about our use of the word hipster, but most of you enjoyed our post on the Metrolink Prom last week, and one such reader even fulfilled our request for photos from the night’s festivities! Looks like a good turn-out. Nothing like riding crotch-to-ass on a stank Metrolink train for fun! As promised, the new year’s king and queen were crowned. He seems happy. Thanks Chris for posting these to our Facebook page! [Read More]

Post updated per reader suggestion. See below original story. Josh Duhamel, shown here with his husband, is staring in the new movie “Life as We Know It” with Katherine Heigl.The movie is about two people who are polar opposites that have to take care of a baby. Uh oh! Sounds like this isn’t going to be what they signed up for! He’s probably a slob and she’s a little Ms. Perfect. [Read More]

[Editor’s Note: Readers that pay careful attention to the metadata above the title will find that I didn’t write this post. Scandalous! Yes, this is written by a someone that might just be popping up more and more on the site if our fine readers find him worthy. He will go by “The Viking__” and if that sounds familiar it should as he has been a commenter on this very site for some time now. [Read More]

[Update: Jesus. Maybe you don’t consider them “Hipsters” but who gives a crap? Feel free to replace the word hipster with nerd, dork, wannbe-hipster, giraffe, whatever. For the record: “Hipster is a slang term that first appeared in the 1940s, and was revived in the 1990s and 2000s often to describe types of young, recently-settled urban middle class adults and older teenagers with interests in non-mainstream fashion and culture, particularly alternative music, indie rock”.

The last time faux-rock group Kings of Leon appeared in St. Louis they played three songs, got shit-faced…whoops, I mean shit on, and then left in a huff whining about anything and everything. Here’s what we said at the time: Jesus these guys are freaking retarded. You too big of a star to just move your little corporate-emo bitch ass 2 feet to the left? Also, you’re a bassist…close your mouth. [Read More]

Oh look the RFT’s Music blog has an interview with some local rapper named “Corle 2 Da”…why does that name sound familiar?… ​You may have seen this excellent vid floating around the Interwebz in the past two weeks. “So St. Louis” is the work of one Corle 2 Da, a Belleville rapper looking to make his mark on this side of the river. Belleville rapper…god this all sound so familiar. Wait! [Read More]

The Stone Temple Pilots, the great 90-alternative rock group, has released word that they are canceling their tour stops between September 21st and “mid-October” for a “short break” in the tour. The missing dates, which includes the previously scheduled stop in St. Louis on September 30th, will not be rescheduled, and we found this note left from the members of STP to you, their St. Louis fans. It reads: Dear Non-Rock Stars, [Read More]

Every year the Post Dispatch lets the 134 old people waiting to die that still get the paper delivered to them vote in a poll to see what comic they cut out to keep things “lively”. Usually? Who cares right? However, this year we noticed a frequent target of our ire in the list: Family Circus. This is it Family Circus! You slipped up and got on the “kill” list and now we are going to make you pay. [Read More]

That menacing looking fellow above is Kyle Watson, a Brazillan Jiu-Jitsu instructor, who has earned one of the 28 spots on Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter reality show. The Ultimate Fighter sounded like a odd name for a show about filming gay porn but then someone told us that actually those gentlemen rolling around in nothing but tiny shorts don’t love each other, but rather are in a fight. The 11th season of Spike TV’s angst-ridden reality show starts on September 15th at 7pm. [Read More]

What is in the water around here these days that makes every little weird dude think he can be a rapper?! I really didn’t think drinking a little homeless guy urine had this effect on people…maybe there is something else in the water.

The latest entry in to the “That’s pretty bad, but I can make a worse St. Louis rap video” contest that seemingly sprung up out of nowhere is from “Tak”, a former cop that bravely took a bullet drunkenly took a bullet (more on this follow up), quit being a cop…and then started a rap career. We really want to be there when they finally dislodge that bullet chunk that floated to his brain and he wakes up wondering what the hell he is wearing and why people keep calling him “Tak”. In the mean time, lets dissect his video!

“Stand Tall” is what you get if you mix slow spoken rap with drunken Tom Petty karaoke, a cheap video camera and St. Charles County wanna-be-ghetto fashion. One could say the video is a bit “Tak-y”. Zing!

Possibly in an effort to distract you to the fact that the song is approximately 79% chorus, the video tries its damnedest to use symbolism and Hollywood trickery to get you to like it. Notice the use of “Please Point a Camera At Me, I Don’t Care the Reason” skanks:

Gotta be weird for her to not be shot in night vision.
