Only in Williamsburg!

[erickelric]

Apologizing for a rant. Gozac? What the fuck is wrong with you? Come back when you have some convictions, man.

[Vince Clortho Keymaster of Gozac]

Eat my balls fuckhead.

[erickelric]

Certainly. But only with a nice thick peanut sauce.

So much for this thread being a string of hilarious jokes about Williamsburg and the many ridiculous fuckfaces who live here.

You let me down, Termbo.

Go on, continue arguing about who has it better/worse.

Only in Williamsburg would a Japanese wigger show up at a Spits show and proceed to hit on Mrs. GoZac and Mrs. Werewolf then accost me and Jordan outside the club while we're smoking and tell us that all the cabs are undercover cops and then raid the swag bags that was courtesy of Scion and then ask if we wanna go to some shitty techno dance party. Only in New York kids, only in New york.

hahahahaha.  THAT DUDE. 

I once saw him at a free BBQ try to write his number down on a dirty paper plate he had just eaten off of and give it to a girl. PUNK!!!

The world is a better place knowing that at some open bar out there tonight some Japanese wigger is using the most inept tactics ever to try and land some sweet poon.

OK sorry in advance for the rant but its not like anyone here has a monopoly on this sort of music. Who do you think works at most of these places?

Again, it's not about "us" having a monopoly on this kind of music. Many of us grew up in places where no matter how cool the employees are, they don't get to play Suicide over store's stereo. In the Midwest, businesses don't care about appearing "hip" to their customers in that particular way. Where I come from, if a business wants to appear really edgy, they let their employees wear Packer sweaters to work on game day.

I don't think any of you Coasters can understand where we're coming from. If you're born and raised in NY your parents probably saw Suicide live, and if you're from California they probably did coke with the Eagles. Either way, you're all inherently much more "cool" than any of us Midwesterners are.

I was talking to someone recently and they were kind of teasing me about living in Williamsburg, what with the hipsters and such, and I explained to them that by moving to NY I am automatically a hipster now to many people back home simply by living in this city.

Yeah point taken but alls I'm saying is that many of our peers, people who are "hipsters" or people with good taste in music or who run a label/play in a band/book shows etc... or people with good Googling skills and access to RapidShare, are also a lot of the same people working in retail shops and restaurants and trying to get by and make end meet so they can run a label/play in a band/book shows/do art etc.... I mean you have worked at bars and in the food service industry yourself and I am sure you have probably been able to wrangle control of the stereo at some point and throw on some ripping party jams or Russian punk that is unknown in the States outside of a small core group of people. I'm sure someone may have been stopping in and been like "holy shit what the fuck?!?!?!"

Also urban centers like NYC or LA or Chicago or wherever are meccas where people go to be a part of a community that is dedicated to running a label/playing in a band/booking shows/doing art etc...so there are a lot more people around then you'd think that know about this shit. And all those people have to have jobs because there ain't a whole lot of money in running a label/playing in a band/booking shows/doing art etc...and rent ain't cheap.

I'd be way more shocked if I heard this shit at the LeCreucet outlet at the Woodbury Commons Outlet Mall though.

i would have to think that even in NYC it's relatively rare to hear "cool" music in random stores.  when i was in NYC i heard inane or stupid music even in ostensibly "cool" places - i.e. vintage shops, coffeeshops, restaurants, and the like in brooklyn.  even the academy annex was playing something pretty weak when i was in there.  

for every kitchenware shop or cafe playing suicide or something awesome, there are probably 5,000 other establishments playing something boring or shitty.  not saying NYC doesnt have a ton of cool people and cool places playing cool music, but i think it can be overstated.  

when i worked at a health food store in high school i played stuff that was pretty cool to me back then - the damned, the clash, dub comps, etc.  

had breakfast a couple of weeks ago where the employees were playing "ege bamyasi" at a rather loud volume.  pretty sweet.

Awww shit. He went there. The gloves are off now.

Also when I worked at a pizza shop in high school I used to blast Hail The New Dawn in the kitchen.

haha.  well i guess it wasn't weak, per se, but it wasn't anything too obscure.  i want to say they were playing the ramones or some other obvious (but still good) punk band.

only in stupid williamsburg am i standing outside the charleston smokin talkin to some dumbass about the brooklyn acquarium and say "i used to love goin there when i was a kid" and the fucknut says "YOU WERE BORN HERE?!?" only in williamsburg was i talkin to a girl with a "NEW YORK" tattoo on her arm and i pointed to a map of the city and asked her to show me where we were and she couldnt do it.  fuckin idiots.

[Vince Clortho Keymaster of Gozac]
