The Hunger Games - Movie Review
The Hunger Games (first book in a best selling YA trilogy) is set in a dystopian future in which the country is divided into 12 prison like districts. Every year, to remind people of how powerful they are, the government holds a lottery to select two kids (or tributes) per district to participate in a gladiatorfest that not only is televised, but looks pretty much like any other reality TV...

Michael Kiwanuka Featured at Blogothèque
Excerpt from the website:
In the car, he tells us that he doesn’t know if the songs he are going to play are going to sound good, cause he hadn’t sang at all yet that morning, and he had never played them solo … then he blew us away with three chords and his subtle and broken voice. Did his uncertainty come off as bothersome ? Nope. Just disarmingly sincere.
We didn’t cause trouble, we...

Hipster! The Musical – Movie Trailer
I don’t know about you, but I’m biting my nails, having knots in my stomach, dying in anticipation for the release date of this movie(?). According to the credits the movie, which is in pre-production and should come out in early 2013, hopefully at Sundance (fingers crossed!), was directed by Adam Blair.
Now, I don’t know Adam Blair, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and...

#Video: The Skins – Surf
Fuck, this is good. I stumble upon their BandCamp page and as soon as I started listening to “Surf”, Bayli Mckeithan’s vocals were tearing me apart. Her vocals are ridiculous! And it’s like it says on their Facebook page, they fucking go hard. I haven’t been excited about a band in a long while and I need to see these guys live NOW! Luckily, they’ll be playing...

Adam Yauch August 5, 1964 - May 4, 2012 RIP
Now my name is M.C.A. I’ve got a license to kill

Now what do we have here an outlaw and his beer
I run this land, you understand I make myself clear.”
We stepped into the wind he had a gun, I had a grin

Kate Upton Dances for Terry Richardson
So apparently, Terry Richardson’s Cat Daddy with Kate Upton was removed from YouTube because it was infringing its terms and conditions regarding puritanism or some shit like that. Then, hipster photographer, Terry Richardson decided to upload the video to Vimeo and then, twist! YouTube allowed the video back in its domains. Anyways, there’s Kate Upton all jiggly in a video, so...

Hipster Cop Hates Music? That's So Hipster
Turns out, Hipster Cop is an aging hipster. Who would’ve thought? Now, I’m not sure he’s cranky because he didn’t get tickets to see Kraftwerk or because he didn’t get tickets to see Sigur Ros. You decide.
Shortly before 7 p.m. yesterday, technicians were doing a soundcheck at an outdoor stage at Broadway and Stone street downtown, in preparation for a permitted...

What If The Avengers Was Cast in the 60's?
The Avengers is going to be release in the U.S. this Friday, May 4th and as you could read in my review, it’s a lotta fun. But imagine if we could time travel to the 60’s and cast the actors that were in activity when The Avengers, the comic book, was first released. Sure, Black Widow wouldn’t be in it, since she’s not a founding member, but I wanted to play with the idea...

Hipsters on Facebook: Attacking a Hipster
One should never attack a hipster. Especially if said hipster is in a very distressing and embarrassing situation like eating at a fast food place. Fast food joints, when you’re not in the city you live in, are sanctuaries. Have you ever seen Highlander, mofo?
I am tired of stupid hipster girls. This girl in the airport is wearing a shirt that says,” F*ck Fur” meanwhile eating a...

80's Saturdays: Ferris Bueller's Day Off Trailer...
This is a beautiful recut of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off trailer by Joseph Brett. Most trailer fail to capture the heart of a movie and, to be honest, most trailers of movies in the 80’s were a total fail. You can check it for yourself. I don’t know about you, but I thought this was a solid editing work.

To kick start 80’s Saturdays on a good note, and to show that it’s not that hard to stick with the theme, I’m gonna post Crockett’s Theme by Jan Hammer from Miami Vice. You might remember this song from the show, if you were born in the 80’s or if you played Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Let’s surf some New Waves with a lot of rat tails and awesome mullets,...

Hipster Superheroes or Old Vintage Portraits with...
Milan-based art workshop Foto Marvellini curated a series of vintage portraits that were re-appropriated using superheroes masks. On the thread they added some Japanese icons too. Some of them blend together really well and look rather eerie, but some are just hilarious and ironic, which is the most used adjective in any kind of hipster art. You can see more mashups here.

Hipster Apps: Pick, A Japanese Version of...
Pick is a Japanese version of Instagram, but it has some enhancements. Kind of. I mean, I’m pretty sure that if you’re drunk or taking pictures of your friends when they’re drunk you’d have fun with it. But given that some people only see value on Instagram because they like to pretend they’re photographers, I’m not sure if we’re ready for it.

Mister Pagoda - Coconut Dreams
Mister Pagoda’s Coconut Dreams is a very uplifting and catchy song and it could become a summer favorite around rooftops in Brooklyn.
Just in time for summer, meet Mister Pagoda. This is a fun, breezy song that reminds me of a personal favorite, The Unicorns. Pagoda has a great sensibility and I absolutely love the sweet musicality.

We are in the hipster business and we have been covering what hipsters do for a while now, however we thought that it would be cool to bring the conversation to our readers, so we’re gonna give hipsters a score, on their hipsterity, and you can do that too.

What I like about this question is how specific it is. Which means two things: this person is at the coffee shop on the line to ask for a mocha mecha light brown fore skin milk latte, as we speak, waiting for us to come up with a good line for him/her to hit on his/her server. And, as usual, this person is obviously a stalker.
Now wait just a second, just because you’re a stalker, it...

Robert Pattinson is not a vampire with glitter, rather he’s a spoiled rich dude that is about to lose everything in what seems to be another sucker punch by David Cronenberg. That’s a relief, I thought he was going to bore me again like he did on A Dangerous Method.
