you all have my personal guarantee that this sucks

the next time someone asks me to define irony, i will play them this song.

The Hasidics in Williamsburg will have the last laugh, of this I assure you.

the_other_scott (October 31, 2007)

considering they own half of the fucking buildings there (or have sold them for millions in the last 2 years) yes, you're right.

I don't appreciate the whole "them vs. us" mentality that a lot these guys and Say Anything have been perpetuating lately. Sorry if people with beards and foot tattoos don't like you guys, maybe you're just not their cup of tea. You don't see Rod Stewart getting all bent out of shape because he thinks that opera fans think they're too good for him.

This was especially funny to me because I know a kid with a beard and foot tattoo that doesn't like them.

This album is terrible.

im going to williamsburg next summer.

haha. what the fuck was that? i live in williamsburg and there are things that i can't stand about it...overly ironic hipsters, mustaches, and shitty overblown garage rock but i would never feel compelled to write a song about it, let a lone make a video for it. what a bunch of clowns.

do these guys realize that the way they are dressed in this video is completely derived from the scene in williamsburg?

do they realize that people in Williamsburg aren't judging them on the way they look but their horrendous music?

that was fucking horrible. on so many levels. yikes.

not to mention, these guys look like they fucking live there. like they hopped on the L train, took notes, and dressed like that.

that completely deserves to be posted twice. I see these guys in LES all the time, the only cool thing that ever came of it, was one time the producer they worked with, Machine, was hanging out with them, i went talked to him for a bit because he is rocks.

that must suck, you're a musician, someone recognizes you, but would rather speak to your producer.

If you want an example of a GOOD song about how much Williamsburg sucks, check out "Barfight on Bedford Ave." off the first Crime In Stereo record. Lyrics as follows:

I've noticed that you like to live your life
on borrowed friends and borrowed time.
We don't live that way done here,
those bonds have formed throughout the years
of the worst times, never the best.
Your superficial smiles and two-week old friendships
don't impress me
The best of you couldn't get the least of my interest.
Things change as quick as a hit-and-run
There's a lot of red lights between these days and the rest of our lives.
Tell whoever that was to be careful which ones he runs.
There's nothing left but to put my faith in friends.
So ink up that skin and do your best to fit in.
This is your last chance to hold on to what you've been given.
Cause I don't mind, it's kind of flattering to me
watching you drown beneath all the things that you wish you could be.

Word.
