I don't know if the Soul Servers are any good but I have some advice for them: Keep your Myspace page, update your web page more often and please try to stay away from the hipster press.
A recent Pitch profile of the group took place at (get this) a local KFC. I guess Nadia Pflaum's "White Woman must Save the World" instinct didn't kick in because she really should have told the guys that the food served there will kill you faster than a career as a KC rapper.
Anyway, what annoyed me most is the goofy antics of the group which Pflaum delights in retelling. She refers to them as "new-millennium Three Stooges" when she was really thinking Stepin Fetchit times three. (I can read the mind of all white women, ya know)
Again, in the age of blogs, text messaging and boost mobile or whatever there is no reason to rely on a trendy white woman in order to get the word out about your endeavor. This kind of article reeks of 1993 and it has tacit liberal racism and goofy hipster elitism written all over it.
Put simply, it's not a big deal to be featured in the Pitch anymore. Better to speak for yourself than let a white woman do your talking . . . Because, believe me, they won't shut up.
The pitch sucks anyways! Half of the damn paper is covered with ads in the first place!
ReplyDeleteWeak!
I like Nadia :x
ReplyDeleteThere are alternatives to the "alt press", you know...
ReplyDeleteWhether its upskirt cameraphone .tif files, Tony's mysogyny, or Pitch's tabloidism, this issue proves there's just no new ideas since Lennon sang "Woman is the nigger of the world." She's gettin' used.
ReplyDeleteThere's been no progress, bloggies. You aren't enlighted Tony. Tony's got the same scapegoat/whipping post since before the world got www.

But I think Tony does put a unique spin on things by masking his interest in all things Gay with T&Eh.
Your mind is a bloated, decaying testicle, Tony. Nadia's gender, race or hipster cred have no real bearing on her writing of this music story -- which is just what it is, not a sociopolitical whatthefuckever. Your recourse to distorted stereotypes is reminiscent of a demented old woman who sits on her porch barking about those evil hook-nosed Jews who want to take away her jewels. And what do you know about the world thirteen years ago? You say: "This kind of article reeks of 1993 and it has tacit liberal racism and goofy hipster elitism written all over it." Nice job of aping every low-rent conservative radio loudmouth in the country. In 1993, you were whacking off to scrambled porn in your parents' living room in the dark of night (good thing you have a computer and an independent residence now), and your tacit, or rather explicit -- racism and misogyny, which, being so utterly witless, come across completely limp-dick, do nothing to alter the fact that this kind of story is wholly beneficial to our local hip-hop scene, of which you remain as willfully ignorant as the whitest rich bastard in Leawood.
ReplyDeleteYour fear of hipsters is hilarious, as is the chip on your shoulder about being a well-known blogger whom the mainstream media ignores. If you're so proud of yourself for being a part of what you might call the real alternative media, then why don't you concentrate on actually providing people with some kind of intelligent insight rather than sophomoric, ineffectual dick waving and bitchery? My challenge to you is to actually go out and try to have a good time in this town. Go see a couple of good local bands and write about the experience. I know that's a daunting proposition, what with all those terrifying hipsters running loose out there, snatching purses, strangling children and coming up behind people to rub expensive pomade into their hair, but I think you'll survive. Sitting around keeping track of the news through local TV web sites, filtering it through your nut-stroking philosophy and adorning it with softcore porn is turning you into a festering, gooey ball of hatred and ignorance. Get out and have some fun once in awhile for Christ's sake.
