...catchy record filled out with electronic beats and sounds that make it good French company to Portishead. She followed it with La Disparition, stripping the sound down to simple acoustic songs. It was her third, Not Going Anywhere, her first in English, that got the interest of the hipster crowd on American shores, which continued with 2004's Nolita, named after her Manhattan neighborhood and imbued with her time spent there. In addition to her own albums, she has written for others, including octogenarian jazz and bass nova icon Henri Salvador, and a side project with Icelandic musician Bardi Johannson...
...Spider-Man 3 isn't very up-to-date either; indeed, it's defiantly anachronistic. Black-Peter is fond of 40s jive talk ("Now dig this") and antique hipster choreography. Mary Jane, who harbors the outmoded ambition to be a Broadway musical star, sings a ballad ("They Say It's Wonderful") from Irving Berlin's 1946 show Annie Get Your Gun. The film's main emotional points are loyalty to your parents, or parent figures, and fidelity to your friends - the lessons of the uber-square Andy Hardy movies from the 40s.

Not exactly a time I like to remember with fond nostalgia considering that I was also wearing a white eye-patch...
...hero. He played one on The O.C. and redefined the type. As Seth Cohen, he was into comic books and erudite references and pushing Chrismukkah onto the national calendar, but he owned it. None of that David Schwimmer cautiousness, that Tom Hanks self-mockery, that Rainn Wilson hipster alternative cluelessness--not even the John Cusack exasperation at the idiots running everything. Brody's nerdiness was unapologetic, So Cal slow and so self-assured, the network let his character have a hot girlfriend. His new archetype was successful enough that two years into the show, he started seeing scripts for pilots...
...been to the events of such organizations knows that they can be rife with pretension and snarky comments, people showing off what they know and pretending to know more than they do.Books can provide entrance into cultured circles the same way obscure bands can help you be a hipster or knowledge of Britney’s disdain for underwear can establish your pop culture credentials. Perhaps the best lesson to take from Bayard is not how to bullshit, but rather how to read in a world where everyone is bullshitting. —Staff writer Madeline K.B. Ross...
