about

I don't know what a hipster is. But I read an album review in Pitchfork magazine that said they're really bad, and I sometimes ironically want to get reviewed in Pitchfork Magazine, so I thought I should write an ironic song about an ironic time that I once wore skinny jeans to work, and all the irony that ensued. I thought about adding more instruments, since this project is mostly a showcase of my multi-instrumental talents, steady musicianship and mastery of all styles of popular music, but then I decided that it'd be really ironic if I just sang off key over an out of tune guitar and left it at that. Actually, it's always ironic when I go off key. Or when I don't. You don't even know what I mean anymore. So I win. I am now cooler than you. Forever. Also, thanks for reading this, babe, but get back to writing your book. It's more important. I love you.

lyrics

There are lyrics to this song, but you probably don't want to know them. Also, there's a free bonus track if you download this entire album, which is still, as of early August 2010, entirely free. It won't be forever, so get on it. On the other hand, the free bonus track will still be free even when you have to pay for the album, so don't hurry too much, and pay for all the other stuff. It's cool. I'll appreciate it.

You might ask, unironically (I said that ironically) why I'm including a free track with a free album. It's because I'm a hipster.

Whatever.
