I have kept my iPod touch loaded with sweet jams for the past 2 years that will please any self-respecting lady in the scene shop. Today, my mission was to make it completely hipster friendly. I have added the following bands back into my playlists. Damn the man. I will love my weirdo mellow music and you will suck it.
-Bjork
-The Ditty Bops
-Zero 7
-Roisin Murphy
-Aimee Mann
-Tegan and Sara
-Sufjan Stevens
-Spoon
-Ray LaMontagne
-Mumford and Sons
-Kaki King
-Iron & Wine
-Imogen Heap
-Gotye (Totally mainstream. Not hipster anymore.)
-The Weepies
-Belle & Sebastian
-Fleet Foxes
-Foster the People
-Neutral Milk Hotel
-Vampire Weekend
-The Weakerthans
To say, “yeah, you’ve probably never heard of them” is a gross misstep. Everyone has heard of them. Hence why I’m not a hipster yet. TEACH ME, FUTURE GUARDIANS.
Also, through a bizarre turn of events, it seems as though I have a job interview as soon as I get to Portland. At a spa. So. Things might just start workin out for ol’ Softshoe. (Still working on my hipster nickname.)
I move in 5 days. I am not packed yet. I am highly emotional. Even more than usual. Yipes.
