Creamtastic 'I Feel Like My Whole Life Is Ridiculous, Really': Television-Breaking, Cat-Killing Hipster Musicians on Judge Judy
Posted by Tracy Moore on Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 8:37 AM
Check out these jokers who recently appeared on Judge Judy, possibly the best Judge Judy ever. (Everyone's a card-carrying devotee of Judge Judy Sheindlin's abrasive, tough-talking, take-no-crap, fine-tuned bullshit detector method of running a courtroom, right? Right.)
Whew! Musicians, you guys. Or rather: Whew! Hipsters, you guys. But really, when you combine musicians and hipsters: Look out. Shit can get pretty crucial. Don't you love it when they go out into the real world and have to, like, talk about their lives like it's normal to, like, not have jobs and get fucked up all the time and not remember what day it is and shit? Fun features: a painfully obvious lack of an on-the-grid existence; lack of the kind of self-awareness that says, Stop fidgeting around like a junkie; the fact that Totally Metal dude doesn't seem to realize admitting he was "pretty wasted" makes him a fairly unreliable narrator in the courtroom; the mention of the existence of a friend named Turtle; that the deceased cat at issue here was named Trips; that the accused cat killer is apparently in a band called Kitty Porn; that nobody thought they needed to even brush their hair. Punk-rock hipster witness, friend of metal dude, is the best though, BTW.

Ha. I love your description of them. Too bad I can't watch it a work.
I understand the whole wanting to just focus on your art thing, but when you think you can scavenge off others and live in selfimposed poverty, that just makes you a deadbeat. And last time I checked, most people consider it cool to be clean.
Sorry to rant. I'm just into that whole independent thing(and being clean).
But they only smashed stuff outside!
The punk rock witness is totally the best. Did he call Judge Judy "Mama?" Love it.
Also, she's in Wham City. They should have subpoenaed Dan Deacon to shed some light on the subject!
I love that dude's last tweet is a response to someone calling him a kitty smasher and a shitty musician.
hipsters love: cocaine, talking about how wasted they were, parent's atm card (esp. when over 26), and leather jackets (because they aren't into the trend.)
Dude, you should actually check out her band, Teeth Mountain. Its actually super sick.
fucking hilarious. "I feel like my whole life is pretty ridiculous." no fucking shit
I can't stop watching the end credits sequence. It's the kind of editing that, in a just world, would win Major Awards.
I know! Just last night I was remarking the same thing -- that it was probably one of the most brilliantly edited sequences I had ever seen. It's perfectly paced, the music swells at the exact right time, it goes back to the punk-rock hipster dude just enough. "Underwear on the counter!" Catch phrase 2010.
