Goats on Acid

Unknown bands.

It's what everyone wants to know.  And what everyone wants everyone else to not know. (If that makes sense).  

These delicious morsels of music usually have ridiculous names that you most likely will forget by the time you walk out of your "hidden" bar and you wake up from your drunken stupor.  

For Example:

"Aw man, this mad hot guy told me the name of this new band, it was playing at the Green Room and everyone was going crazy, what was that again?"

"Holy Flying Monkey Shit?"

"No, that's not right"

"Love Be Still Heart Pound Fast?"

"Ugh, no, fuck being hung over and blacking"

What's the best though, is when you go up to a "hipster" and start talking about your new find, like when me and a friend went to Solin (the weird rez for McGill) and shared our love for Goats on Acid (a band we made up).  We would tell them about how elusive they were, the enigma of music, and that you couldn't find them online because they didn't believe in giving into the corporate misery that is the internet.  All we did was spew lies, and they would nod AND ACTUALLY SAY THAT THEY KNEW WHO THIS BAND WAS!

What's wrong with the hipster culture?

When you talk about an actual band like Neutral Milk Hotel, they don't know, but when it's fake they do?

People try too hard.

Way too hard.
