Did you say "Brooklynite" ? ? ? ? ?
I ran across this on the The Brooklyn Record. Another site that promotes the life and times of space wasting, "cool", cocksuckers.
Brooklynite of the Week: Cale Parks of Aloha
The first time we saw Cale Parks behind his drum set — many moons ago in a midwestern coffee shop with his full-time band, Aloha — we broke a sweat just watching him hit the off-time, jazz-inflected beats. Since then, he has played countless shows with Aloha, recorded and toured with CEX and Joan of Arc, released a solo album, and moved to Brooklyn. Tonight at Europa (98-104 Meserole Ave., corner of Manhattan Ave.), he's playing a solo show at 8:45 and with Aloha at midnight.
Brooklyn Cred: Since August 4, so about 3 months. <—- (guess that makes him a Brooklynite)
Home Turf: Real estate says East Williamsburg, but people that have lived here longer tell me its the edge of Bushwick?
Rent or own: I rent, silly.
Hometown: Cincinnati, OH <—( ha ha)
Job: Right now, I tour. Want to give me a job? <—(try Monster, it worked for me)
Brooklyn Crib: I share a 3-bedroom, railroad-style apartment with one FIT student and another musician who tours a lot. I stay at my girlfriend's in Greenpoint though, mostly.
Brooklyn Hang: My girlfriend's backyard where there is a tiny lawn.
I think your next post should be video links to the vbs.tv's "Toxic Brooklyn" series.

Here's the irony of what you're doing: Hipster-Bashing perpetuates Hipster-Existence. Hipster-Bashing has hit an all-time high in the second half of 2007. Hipster-Bashing has become, well, hip. Everybody's doing it. You're playing right into their Hipster hands.
This trend would have died of natural causes if it were not for this 2007 hipster backlash. A trend like this one is like a snake that eventually eats its own head if allowed to run its natural course. The hipster fashion has already spread to the mainstream and was growing. This would have eventually killed Hipsterdom because it would no longer have the illusion of being a counter-culture. But now all of the people who started dressing that way because it was starting to become mainstream, the very people who would have destroyed the Hipster culture, are going to be driven away by the Hipster-Bashing leaving the actual Hipsters newly emboldened.
BTW, perpetuating Hipsterness is Not Spooky!

Dead Kennedys: Holiday in Cambodia:
So you been to school
For a year or two
And you know youve seen it all
In daddys car
Thinkin youll go far
Back east your type dont crawl
Play ethnicky jazz
To parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know
How the niggers feel cold
And the slums got so much soul
Its time to taste what you most fear
Right guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear
Its a holiday in cambodia
Its tough, kid, but its life
Its a holiday in cambodia
Dont forget to pack a wife
Youre a star-belly sneech
You suck like a leach
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch
So you can get rich
But your boss gets richer off you
Well youll work harder
With a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers
Till you starve
Then your head is skewered on a stake
Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need, my son.
Is a holiday in cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in cambodia
Where youll kiss ass or crack
Pol pot, pol pot, pol pot, pol pot, etc.
And its a holiday in cambodia
Where youll do what youre told
A holiday in cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul

Now go fuck yourselves.

Has anyone told him his band sucks yet? My ex-friends used to rant and rave about Aloha.
P.S.
How the hell is three months long enough to be considered a "Brooklynite"? In 2002 I lived in Brighton Beach (that's right, who needs Williamsburg when you have Brighton Beach?)for a year. Can I claim myself as a former New Yorker?

No, but it might make you a hipster....lol.

If you were born in Brooklyn to Brooklynites, moved away to PA, lived in Cincinnati for a while, and then wanted to move back to Brooklyn all along, does that make you a hipster?
Because hipsters scare me. A lot.

if you take a minute to look at alohas myspace page, the band describes themselves as "experimental, pop, progressive"...what??!?!? i think "gay, weak and boring" would be more suitable
born and raised in williamsburg before it became "williamsburg"...
die you midwestern fucks...
