fads and phrases and annoying things we are sick of 2009

195. Mott the Hoople references

I love krautrock djs who don't beatmatch

And I like DJs with good record collections, too, and don't give a shit if they can beatmatch or DJ well. I like music nerds.

Mr. Que totally making this thread.

What's an RTer? Maybe I am one of those.

182. vinyl being more expensive than cds

Was always this way. Ten years ago it would just be sold at a slimmer profit margin.

Mr. Que, I will never say your name in my head as Mr. Queue.

naw when cds first came out they were like 25 bucks

192. the fact that 1 our of 4 people who are in their 20s/30s and live in a metropolitan area is a "DJ". Add to that the fact that these self-proclaimed DJs often play music that can't be beatmatched, so they are basically just crossfading new age, krautrock, or whatever the latest bargain bin music fad is) in front of an audience of 20 people and walking around claiming to all their friends that they are a DJ.

10000x worse if the "DJ" happens to be a celebrity of some kind

it's pronounced queue

xp - as opposed to people that get paid to crossfade top 40 pop songs, alt rock, and whatever else gets played on the radio? Those people are called DJ's, aren't they?

194. coffee and coffee culture
195. health-care reform

man i wish viet subs were more popular than they are

xpost to carne asada: so otm.

versus

83. fixed gear bikes and everything that goes with them, including the complaining when your £2000 stolen bike gets stolen.

Plus I take pictures of all kinds of mundane shit on my phone. I've embraced it. A couple of days ago I took pictures of a couple of chairs by the side of the road. Just chairs. And I can remember what they look like, too, so I don't even need a picture.

but are you a photoblogger?

196. "Wait for it..."
197. facebook updates from supposedly sharp thirtysomethings that look like text messages fron 14 year old morons

it's pronounced queue

I know.

You mean in 1985? The CDs were $25? Or the records? And that's not ten years ago. I guess I should clarify by saying that I'm talking about records on labels that I tended to buy from ten years ago (Matador, T&G, Merge, &c.).

194. coffee and coffee culture?????????????????

Coffee? Is this like those MarkCL & Mr. Que parody entries?

Sarahel, I still say your screen name as Sara Hell, but like it's one word. I'm not a photoblogger.

200. people who take pictures who aren't photobloggers

I don't get your "????????????"

taking pics on mundane shit is cool as long as you post them here Cellpwn Pics

Coffee is 2009? Coffee bothers you?

how can you be sick of coffee

pffft

some of us have just started to understand coffee

xxxp - that does not bother me in the slightest.

i wish i had the dumb cable that allows me to transfer my mundane pictures from my phone to my computer. It's almost decaying billboard season, and I think I want to document it.

xxxxxpost Yeah, I just send them to a friend, usually. I usually take pictures of the sky and traffic and traffic lights and roadside signs. All in one picture, I mean.

you have to email the pictures from your phone

It's okay, Granny.

yes, cds were 25 bucks when they came out in 1985. was not "always this way"

Yeah, you mms them from your phone to another phone, or to email.

xpost But that doesn't suggest a 2009 trend. Saying that records have gone up in price in the last few years because of higher demand or whatever would be a trend.

Coffee is crazy popular now. And it's fucking nasty shit and everyone is all jacked up for the morning and then crashes at noon and turn into crabby mofos. Cafes/coffee culture is totally egregious and a blight on my generation. I'm only being slightly hyperbolic. The fact that someone is "omg wtf???????????????????? how can you hate coffee" proves my point.

^^^^^^ stone him

Like, "OMG everyone's buying records now and it used to just be me and now the prices have gone up."

for a while i was taking pics of subtly o_O signage at Whole Foods, but i never sent them to anyone

coffee is good for you

ask your local nutrition nazi

i bet J0rdan hates this thread now.

i only started drinking lattes this year

i can see how you, as an individual, can hate coffee

I sort of agree with Granny in that people really do sort of have a problem with using coffee too much as mood moderator.

no they don't, people have a problem with drinking coffee so they have an excuse to be dicks

i look at those people like i look at people who drink shitty beer just to get wasted.

xp: and that is not coffee's fault, that people are dicks

coffee rules

coffee is the best, but i am not sure what "coffee culture" is...therefore it must be suspicious and wrong!

i like coffee because it is one of the very consistent joys in my life. IS THAT SO WRONG?

if someone's a dick, don't blame coffee, blame the penis

xxxxxxpost But it's not 2009. And cafe culture in the US isn't new, either. At least one could argue that it's a nice change from meeting and talking with people in bars.

80. "Electro"

Uh...

How long until the term "electro" becomes a dirty word?

Jesus fuck.
