SWM Sks 1 4 CYHSY
From Fishbowl LA:
I'm on assignment for a national indie music magazine (no, not Pitchfork) to review the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah show at the Troubadour on 10/5. All of my friends already landed their own tickets, so I thought I could use my +1 to meet someone new.I had to read this twice to make sureYou: Eastsider, knows the band already, appears semi-regularly on Cobrasnake.com, okay with being ignored while I take notes for the review.
Me: pretty much what you'd expect.
Reply by Oct. 1st. Pics are, of course, a must. No fatties.
As far as the "pretty much what you'd expect" part goes, I can only think of this description from a thesis about ILM and "rockism":
- 24-35.
- Has had sex with around five people.
- Drinks, maybe smokes socially, inc. pot; no harder drugs.
- Works in either computers or something tangentially related to the entertainment industry.
- Out of shape.
- In debt/still paying student loans.
- Attended at least one Lollapalooza.
- Has worn an ironic t-shirt at some point in his or her life, AND then later decried ironic t-shirts.
- Grew up in a suburb of a major city.
(Updated post excerpt per baggy's suggestion. How, indeed, could I leave out the fatties?)

You posted this just to start a flame war; I can tell. My blood pressure's rising on account of this douche, but I will not take the bait.

If I wanted to start a flame war, I'd have called the post "Not Pitchfork? What else is there?".
On second thought...

What a coincidence, my turn-ons include being ignored while people take notes...

Wow, that national indie mag must be really struggling these days...

Why did you assume it's a guy looking for a date?

"...appears semi-regularly on Cobrasnake.com"
Dear fucking Lord!
Yes, I'm taking the bait, if only to point out that this is why "Indie" music sucks and will never be taken seriously by those who don't appear semi-regularly on Cobrasnake.com. It's rarely bands that destroy a music "scene," it's the "fans."
Get the fuck over yourselves.

please tell me that the post is a joke. the guy offers up the lame excuse that all his friends have tix to the show. then requires that she appears on cobrasnake and doesn't mind being ignored. beggars can't be choosers.
i guess i took the bait too.

Well, now you know what the people who write and review music are exactly like. Valuable opinions, indeed!
Then again, there's always jed.
Someone should Scott Stapp this guy. Pics are a must, like seeing the lead singer of a Christian rock band tooling around a Denny's looking for teen poontang.

"Why did you assume it's a guy looking for a date?"
Simple. A girl could get a date to the show... And the girls that appear semi-regularly on the cobrasnake are more attractive than the men, if "Blue States Lose" can be trusted.

Wow, this guy is a true dick. Does he know that most of the chicks who "appear regularly on cobrasnake.com" are underage? Listen up stereogummers: I am going to submit my pic because I am dying to go on this cheap man's "date" just to rip this pathetic indie boy to shreds and then report it all here!! That way he will be properly punished for his numerous offenses (not least of which is, he thinks CLAP...is worthy of a review in a natl indie mag.)
And PS: true pros don't take notes in public, bozo. You do it discretely, on the sly, preferably in the bathroom. Or just use your head and type it all down the moment you get home...

Also, the concert's on the 6th (and 7th), not the 5th.
Mind you, a pair of tickets just went for 120 bucks. That's at ten dollars originally....

jesus fucking christ what a bunch of pussies. no one else finds this posting the comedic hit of the craigslist year, on par only with the guy looking for a girl who enjoyed "animals, the green and sucking it." I;m surprised this is actually a topic of discussion, but I would bet money that the poster is male. what, girls pull bust "no fatties" now? incidentally though, if it was a girl I think I'd be in love.
