I'm not sure anymore what's relevant on the web and what's not, but here you go. A somewhat unconventional chillwave "sound project" by two(?) New Yorkers released their first song a few days ago. Tao Lin, a prolific gen-y writer (that's what they say - i can't afford his books) and Carles of Hipster Runoff are people/person behind "Jesus Christ." (the indie band). The whole thing is clearly intended to be a meme. Check out their muxtape page: a ton of IM-able Jesus-themed pics that aim to offend every kind of person/genre/subculture imaginable. Looks like it can be both a well-planned PR trick or the famous "throwing shit against the wall" approach. I also have noticed that every post/publication that reviewed "Jesus Christ." (the indie band) is extremely terrified of acclaiming/defaming the track from their upcoming EP. This is understandable, especially with blogs/periodicals that are trying to look"objective": better risk loss of truth than chance of error. So here's an opinion. I kinda liked how it begins with spoken stuff about "undiagnosed personality disorder" and stuff, but i would never buy it and i could never become a fan. Because contentwise it's nothing much special. I eat Hipster Runoff every morning with my oatmeal, HRO makes my day at least once a week, and i know the person behind it is a thousand times smarter than i could ever be. And yet "Jesus Christ." sounds like it was intentionally simplified to match presumable intellectual capacities of its presumable audience - gen-y'ers/indie-kids/hipsters/college students/artists and other scumbags like these (right?). "Is that really what you want?" sounds ok; it also sounds like they could do much better but for some reason didn't. It also made me write this (see above) so i guess "JC." (tib) still works on some level.
