Austinist's Will Mills Gets Dunked For Charity [Video]
Bibles and Rhymes: An Interview with Why?'s Yoni Wolf
Last week's Chronicle has an excellent article by Marc Savlov about a handful of local DJs that we've long adored: the kids of Car Stereo (Wars) and Learning Secrets, plus Prince Klassen, DJ Mel, and KidIndie.
What's going on with the Austin DJ and club scene that, seemingly overnight, it's transformed into something akin to the Please Kill Me-era East Village NYC art-punk scene of three decades past? Reinvention, that's what.

Please Kill Me-era East Village NYC?
Ha ha ha. Haaaaaaha. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha. Ha. Haaaaaaaaaha. Haaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahhaha. O. O. O. O. Haaaaaaaaha. Haaaaaaaaaaaaha.
[Wipes tears o' laughter from eyes] I guess it doesn't hurt to aspire, Austin.
Listening to mash-ups is like listening to any ol' P.Diddy/Puffy/Puff Daddy song from over the last decade. Get real. Sure they're fun, but they lack any real substance. Instead of being on the tip of what's next, rehashing the old into the new seems to be Austin's cup of tea.
are you fucking kidding me?
austin is too busy patting itself on the back to do anything interesting or original.
despite claims to third coastdom, we're as provincial as it gets...
"Please Kill Me-era East Village NYC art-punk scene of three decades past" was definitely not about spending way too much money on an outfit that looks like it was actually from three decades past, or about playing the newest mp3 remix they got off fluokids.com
mark savlov obviously has no idea what he's talking about. just like these djs. i guess it maeks sense.
i'll agree that marc's article was way off.
nothing will ever be like nyc during that time period. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
i will defend the dj's though.
i love how these assholes can comment in the comfort of their own homes and not have to deal with the consequences. the difference between you and the dj's mentioned is the fact they're trying and you're sitting on fat ass, not doing shit.
that's the way things have always been here in austin - the 'indoor people' who don't do shit, sitting on their high and mighty asses smoking weed and go to their shit day job, never supporting anything and hate on the internet and THAT'S IT.
the scene is only as good as the people in it and to be honest, it's not the dj's you should worry about, it's little bitches like yourself who think you can do better and never do a fucking thing about it. how pathetic.
so keep living in your world, where everything is better somewhere else. believe me, dj's in nyc, los angeles, frisco are not all good. most of them are terrible...
how 'bout all of you lick my balls and get move away! please!
I'm so glad that so many people find this as ridiculous as me. It's like the New York Post saying that rich "homeless" kids who jizz on magazine articles are the new "Andy Warhol"'s. And, I'm pretty sure they were doing this in NY and LA at least 2 years ago.
