Hipsters are Scary with Moujan:

MZ is scared of hipsters. You should be scared as well.

Why hipsters scare her:

1. Their clothing

2. Their hair

3. Their attitude

4. Their way of talk

5. Their love of neon clothing

6. Their musical tastes

7. Their so called "thrifty" attitude

8. Their love for American Apparel

9. Their constant denial of their hipster identity

MZ does not mean to offend. She is sure that hipsters are very nice people with charming personalities.

Music with Heather: TV on the Radio

TV on the Radio rocked Treasure Island with songs from their epic new album: Dear Science,
Favorite record from 2004: Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

friendly advice...

You girls could use a little fashion styling. Then you wouldn't have to be so intimidated by the hipsters. Negative spin reporting comes off as insecure. It also turns off viewers.

Styling could brighten the show too.... just a little constructive criticism from someone in the industry. Might help the coolness factor as well. You ladies are beautiful but the styling is not so much....

Lots of love. You are doing a lovely job on camera!

Hot chip interview and TV on the Radio props! (Does that new album not kick much ass?!)

I thought all the ladies did great. I don't know her, of course, but Heather seemed much more "herself"-- nice and relaxed, having fun.

"Indie" means independent, of course, but I think it's much more than just being on a non-major label. It's more about an independent spirit in which the music was made or marketed for that matter. Of course, now it's just a genre that people use as a quick reference to a certain type of rock/pop.

Musical genres are dumb, but also a necessary evil when trying to quickly catagorize a band.

This all being said, I do believe genres are somewhat irrelevant in this age of musical self-discovery. Leave genres to radio stations. I'll search for my music by means outside a genre base.

Heather you seemed much more relaxed and natural talking without the prompter... or maybe intoxicated, not sure which.
