Upscale grocery chain Whole Foods has now started selling a limited number of vinyl records in five California stores. Perhaps in tandem with the well documented vinyl resurgence, the chain feels that they could break into the coveted indie music market and add on to their already astronomical monetary value. A representative from Whole Foods noted that, "This launch isn?t just about stocking our shelves with something new and different ? it?s about listening to our shoppers and giving them access to the things they want ? whether it?s their favorite cheese or their favorite way to enjoy music.?

Non-Music Shit / Does wealth breed narcissisim?

We found that wealthier participants reported significantly greater psychological entitlement. They were more likely to see themselves as deserving of good things in life and entitled to a bigger piece of the pie than others. We even found that students whose parents were wealthier and better educated (in other words, people who hadn't done anything themselves to be wealthy) felt more psychologically entitled. Further, we found that wealthier individuals not only feel more entitled, but they also report more narcissistic tendencies on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, endorsing statements like, "I like to be the center of attention," "I find it easy to manipulate people" and "I like to show off my body."

I'm glad Cal is saying "Fuck you" and just paying for the most liberal studies to be done. That shit is great.

Good read until he ends it with "pernicious social effects."

http://www.buzzfeed.com/verymuchso/twitter-attacked-a-comedian-for-a-sexist-joy-division-joke

The Tweet in question:
"In my research, I've found the hot girl wearing the Joy Division t-shirt never wants to actually talk about Joy Division."

Apparently this is sexist? Even though it doesn't say anything about how the girl doesn't want to talk about Joy Division because she doesn't know anything about the band...

I knew there was a reason that I stopped listening to the Low Times Podcast other than the fact that Tom Scharpling wasn't on it enough.

Non-Music Shit / Pickin' on Emos in London
« on: April 13, 2013, 07:48:16 AM »
http://news.yahoo.com/2-arrested-uk-hate-crime-against-emo-211356229.html

"British police say they have arrested two people over an assault on an "emo" teenage boy ? the first to be recorded in the country as an alternative subculture hate crime.

Short for "emotional punk," the term refers to a style of rock music and associated fashion.

Greater Manchester Police said they detained a 14-year-old boy and a 44-year-old man after receiving reports that a 16-year-old boy who described himself as an "emo" was assaulted.

The police force said last week they would begin recording offenses against members of "Goths, emos, punks and metallers" in the same way they do attacks based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity.

Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said Thursday it was positive that police identified the assault as a hate crime.

Music Shit / Peter Murphy jailed after meth-fueled hit-and-run

British Goth rocker arrested for alleged DUI hit-and-run in Glendale

Peter Murphy, lead singer of British Goth rock band Bauhaus, was arrested Saturday after he allegedly rear-ended a vehicle in Glendale, injured the driver and then fled to Los Angeles, where he was blocked by an eyewitness until police arrived, officials said.

Later...

Inside the Los Angeles police patrol car where Murphy had been detained, officers reported finding a small plastic bag, possibly of methamphetamine, police said. Murphy denied the bag belonged to him, but officers said they believed he was trying to discard it in the patrol car.

Murphy was arrested on suspicion of causing injuries while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, felony hit-and-run and possessing methamphetamine, police said.

He remained in custody Monday in lieu of $500,000 bail, which was set after officers expressed concern that he could be a flight risk, police said.

So that's how he's kept his girlish figure...

Non-Music Shit / Standing up to bullies!
« on: March 15, 2013, 03:16:37 PM »
Personally, I love examples of bullies and or straight up assholes being taken out. Here's 2 I found today:

1. SXSW 2013 Fight -- People can bitch and moan about the guy getting suckerpunched all they want to, but I think as soon as he hit the guy trying to stop the fight, he was asking for it:
http://youtu.be/30WoiKeL6bg

2. Russian bus driver taken out scammers -- I almost got caught up in something like this when I used to commute from Ballard to Kent, WA. I'm glad there's somebody who can stand up to them.

Anyone else following this bullshit witch hunt? It fucking angers me to no end.

http://www.collapseboard.com/features/columns/this-blog-kills-fascists/

Who know music critics could create their own version of the House Committee of Un-American Activities?

By their reasoning, Francis Harold and the Holograms should be called out for supporting the KKK because of this picture:



I mean, C'MON! They're wearing hoods and holding torches!
