How hard is it to repost press releases? Everyone takes themselves way too seriously now.

The Smashing Pumpkin North American Tour kicked off in Mexico City on Saturday. Before the show Billy had a press conference. He was quoted to say “The Smashing Pumpkins not just me, because this whole process has become a team, a team in which I believe, and the fact that 44 songs are part of Teagarden … means I have a commitment, a very strong future The Pumpkins” He went on to say/joke “Right now I want to announce that the next album will be called Rice Krispies and treats the flakes float to the depths of despair.” A few videos for the Mexico City tour has made it on its way to YouTube. Billy tweeted that attendance was over 10,000 strong. We have yet to confirm the setlist from last night show. But we do know Billy did work on lyrics for Black Sunshine the other day.

I'm not getting why they felt they needed such a long explanation. It was a fan site for a band, not the impeachment of the President. Do they think people are crying themselves to sleep?

The Hipsters United people always reminded me of that guy we all knew in college who wrote an 80 page gushy fanboy paper about Foghat with footnotes, then wondered why the Masters committee said it didn't constitute an academic thesis.
I mean, read that explanation. You're a bunch of fan boys who can't understand why SP isn't relevant 15+ years after their prime, not some group of intellectuals setiously peering into sociology like you'd want people to believe. The fact you can't see that makes you the dumbest people in the room, not the smartest, flowery language aside. |

come on man, everyone knew that kid regardless of the "quality" of the school. At my school there was a guy who actually got approved to do a senior thesis on some underground rapper I'd never heard of. His presentation consisted of playing songs to the audience for 15 minutes, and then speaking for 5.

I mean if that post is genuine I think it's pretty coll. Some integrity in creating a blog with a purpose and cutting it off when it has served that purpose. Sad for fans of it though

A poorly thought out since I clearly said in my imaginary scenario that the kid who wrote an essay about Foghat DIDN'T have it accepted as a Master's thesis.

maybe if the whole website wasn't built on mindlessly defending corgan then they would have been forced to do actual writing and we wouldn't have this problem

My god that was bloated. They must have been talking about a different site altogether. Since when did HU actually serve any of those high-minded purposes they describe? And yeah, I guess it is more disturbing to think this person was actually a grad student. Of what, mathematics? Clearly if it was journalism or something we'd be in trouble.

All herald Hipsters United, thine influence was heard 'round the world! It is quite astonishing that they had such a consistent standard of transcendent excellence that will shine on in the hearts of many intrepid bloggers that will no doubt emulate the veritable news agency's determined example of being about stuff. I say, SHINE ON HIPSTERS UNITED, and may tomorrow be a better day for all of us!
