Insta-hipster with the hipster iPod
posted Apr 25th 2005 9:17PM
What, listening to that those two namedropping Le Tigre and LCD Soundsystem tracks wasn't enough of a lesson to get
you started on your road to proper hipsterdom? Well, if you want to kill two birds with one stone, just hook up the
Hipster iPod, a 60GB iPod that comes pre-loaded for $900 with 900 properly music-snobbish albums, including but not
limited to The Shaggs, Can, T-Rex, The Modern Lovers, the No New York comp, Gang of Four, The Pop Group, Throbbing
Gristle, The Homosexuals, The Fall, and many, many more. Now all you have to do live in Williamsburg and you're totally
set to kick out the mad jams. And yes, we know this is a joke. Or if not that, still highly, indubitably illegal at
best.
P.S. - No comments about us living in Williamsburg, please.

do people outside of new york even know what williamsburg is?
do people outside brooklyn even know what williamsburg is??
Of course we all do, you non-hipster.
this guy is insane, and with the exposure he's sure to get from engadget hes already in jail.
althought I must admit that I had the urge once to sell an external hardrive of mine, totally maxed out with MP3's... and then i "strolled" over to ebay and realized that several hundred entropenures had beat me to it, and were charging far less than what I was reasonable, considering the time and energy invested in personally ripping all that music.
gaaawwd, i hate hipsters. those obnoxious bastards. why do they have to be so darn cute and trendy....

yea i think its funny that he said he needs money for rent but he has his own site lol. i dont think that dude needs money at all. plus the songs sound like garbage
actually, here in park slope (aka the iSlope), i'm convinced we have more pods per square block than anywhere else in the city. yesterday i looked in a window and saw a hipster jamming on his guitar into garageband on his 17" powerbook with an iSight, using ipod headphones. i wanted to kill myself, then kill him...somehow i was sure i could manage it.
#5 "plus the songs sound like garbage"
Hmm. Just hmm.
i don't want an ipod, but he could at least drop his soulseek handle. yeesh.
Now if it would just come with that new album by Moby then maybe I'd shell out $900. Cause heavens knows I TOTALLY pay for music downloads!
Do it for cheap by getting the SXSW torrent. That's south by southwest... normies.
I wonder how they make any money off this... Perhaps they actually just repeated the first 450 songs and are banking on the fact the iPod battery will die long before anyone finds out.
Well I'm from broooklyn and thank heavens he lives far away from me cause if ever meet this sob ill beat the shit out of him
Im sorry this isnt hipster unless every bootleg and release of the ny dolls is on there. and what, you pay $900 and no color customization? LAME!
Anyway, that being said... im off to williamsburg today actually. Flight leaves in 10 hours. Bedford ave. say hi if you see me in my moth-eaten, confusion is sex bright orange sonic youth rag. :)
I don't know any of the listed artists in that article *gasp*
He's a poser and a sell-out, doesn't even have the new Decemberist's album and no Broken Social Scene! Ha, I fart in your general direction.
"Well, if you want to kill two birds with one stone"
...Don't kill birds, it's not nice.
forget kazaa, emule, bittorent etc. use station ripper and fill a 200Gig disk in 1 week for free. oh, sorry i mean, you can pay for it if u want
after 2 days of downloads you ll have the hippest/coolest/snobiest song collection in your neighborhood
It looks like GoDaddy.com stole the hipsterpod.com website. It was just there a few hours ago.
#13, Assuming (a big assumption) that this is real if he already had all the CDs, he just copies 900 the songs to every iPod. unlimited copies can be made from CDs...
I thought you meant Williamsburg, Virginia.
Don't forget the Kaiser Chiefs, the Futureheads, the Killers, Bloc Party, everyone else who sounds like the above four bands, ok... you can run me off the stage now.
