Justin Brings His Box To The Garden
The teenyboppers and the JT-loving hipsters packed Madison Square Garden last night to watch Timberlake make a very special addition to his live repertoire. People writes (Thanks Mike):
Though Timberlake kicked off a raucous set at 9 p.m. that had audience members including Donald and Melania Trump on their feet, the real fun started at 11:20, when an announcer appeared to introduce "a new band" that had "the most watched video on YouTube." He ended with, "Can [this concert] get any better than this? Hell yes it can!"ThighMaster was less impressed:Then Samberg and Timberlake took the stage – in their Color Me Badd-style costumes and facial hair from the SNL sketch and, of course, presents attached below the belt. To wild cheering they sang "D--- in a Box," changing the holiday lyrics from "Christmas ... Hannukkah ... Kwanzaa" to "Valentine's Day ... Flag Day ... Kwanzaa."
I will never let myself be dragged to a show like this ever again. While I actually do enjoy the kid's latest album, cept for that unlistenable 'Sexyback' track (I still don't get how the rest of your pleabs loves it), everything that he played that wasn't on said album reminded me why I loathe 98% of the poop they pipe onto MTV. It was like watching a 2 hour half time show programmed by the people who choose the winners at the People's Choice Awards ... I'd rather be closer to a man tea bagging his nut sacks 5th ave into my mouth than drink from this white man's R&B bs brew.But Thighs Wide left before the very special boxes; who knows how much he would have hated it then? Here's a pic, via Platform|Launch|Action.
Or just relive the fun here.

Haha. NYTimes referred to Pete Wentz as a hipster. Very funny, and very true. Oh you hipsters, fuck off.

Fredo's referring to that NYTimes article about JT-loving hipsters, so not unrelated!

Thanks, Scott.
What's with the new stereogum phenomenon of posting comments and not bothering to check out the links.

I was there and can say that it was worth every damn penny! I go to a LOT of concerts, and this man sure can put on a show. "Dick in a Box" was just the icing on top of a very yummy cake. But I do think that after seeing this plus Lily Allen on Sat. night, I'll be ready for something a little more rock n roll.

This explains why I saw a whole bunch of girls in JT gear last night. (SMH!) As a fan of JT, I can't stand 'SexyBack' either. 'D!ck in the Box' has to be one of JT's best take on a sense of humor.
