​"We're just another boyband/The girls are underage but we don't care/And when you throw your panties at a boyband/After the shows we keep your underwear," or so the trio from the Midnight Beast sings in "Just Another Boyband."

These young lads from the U.K. are a comedy musical group, and will be at Coachella, so pack some clean undies.

​If there's anything hipsters like to do in autumn, it's to walk around breathing in their own melancholy, feigning solitude while trying to suss out meaning from their iPod earbuds while kicking around dead leaves. In their self-conscious sorrow, wearing earthy-toned cardigans and beanies in 75-degree weather, hipsters of Orange County will rejoice in this most emotionally downcast of seasons. (Because looking sad is cool, right?) If you're one of these hipsters and want some recommendations, here are some our favorite autumnal albums to soundtrack your dejected promenades.

Various online media outlets have been reporting Facebook is experiencing a numbers slump. Sky news writes approximately 6 million North American users deleted their accounts in May, in addition to 100,000 British users. This is a drop in the bucket when considering Facebook reportedly has roughly 600 million users, but after reading about Justin Timberlake's involvement with efforts to purchase former social network juggernaut  Myspace from News Corp., it got me wondering about what social media was originally intended for and why it's popularity can be represented with the see-sawing graphics of a bar chart.

Remember Friendster? Yeah, neither do I. But I'm told it was mighty popular at one point. It was quickly eclipsed  by Myspace until Mark Zuckerberg got into the social network racket by duping his college peers. Like rats from sinking ships, users migrated from one site to the next with stopwatch predictability. But why?  Don't  all these sites do the same thing (i.e., allow us to cyberstalk our friends and co-workers)? The only cause I can point at for these unexplained  diasporas is due to the invisible hand of the hipster culture.

Yes, those mustachio wearing, fixed-gear riding, Panda Bear-appreciating douchebags whose self-righteous musings are rivaled only by Grateful Dead fans. I would argue it's the hipsters' unwavering desperation to look cool that has led to the rise and fall of various social networks. More after the jump.More >>

​The lineup for the eighth annual FYF festival in downtown Los Angeles was announced today and if bloggers mean anything, it sounds like lots of people are excited. Bands such as Death From Above 1979, Explosions in the Sky, the Dead Milkmen, Guided By Voices, Broken Social Scene, the Weakerthans, No Age, Avi Buffalo, OFF!, Cold War Kids and Pink Mountaintops are just a few of the groups scheduled to perform.

That bill alone would attract plenty of attention, but fuck all those bands because the Descendents are playing!

I interviewed singer Milo Aukerman a few months ago regarding his group's show at the Long Beach Arena with Rise Against and Bad Religion. After the jump,  a few notable quotes that didn't make my story.

There's a thin line between looking like a hipster clone at Coachella and looking like a damn fool. Low-budget chain shops like Forever 21 and H&M seem to be jumping on the Coachella fashion bandwagon. We're here to tell you that you don't have to spend cash (that can be used for food and gas) on new rags that are only going to get drenched in sweat and dusty desert air. Even if you're not a fashion maven, you can still make a fashion statement without looking like a reincarnation of a young Cosmo Kramer. What's wrong with turning a few heads? Plus when you look fashionably conscious it's easier to sneak into the VIP area.
