Big Things Poppin: Madison Hype Initiatve

So where have we come from several months ago when the Madison Hype Initiative was born? Where has the hype gone? What have we achieved?

Well there have been things. More gutter basement messes with the arrival of the Ghetto Division in Madison for the FMF ’09 secret afterparty scene. Oh and don’t worry, there will be more to come from them next weekend. We may have even spawned our own movement to keep the shit hype…if you know what I’m talking about.

We had some good times this summer too. Part III of Dan Deacon came through to beat the terrace up for a little while. More and more indie music seems to dominate the scene and the now infamous Matt and Kim hit the scene…since they are a big deal now. Church.

Our friends Nigel and M$M came through once again and even LA Riots made the trip to our borough in southern WI.

From La Ville Apartments to Bangerville.

From Asian Kitchen to Wongz Wok.

Moves have been made. Things have been done. More is to be done though. Let’s see your hype. We will bring it. And bring it hard next week. You do your part in the meantime.

so i guess we are moving up the ranks in the hype world. 21st over all. damn. must have been the wavves show (which is now a running joke amongst us not for the music, just how hype it is).

hipsterrunoff1

no but seriously about 25% of the bike around are single speeds, more and more tight pants emerge, and i just saw a bro wearing crooks and castles. we are doing our part to make this the mini brooklyn of the midwest and it seems like we are making it work.

and many others are doing well too. i mean how else would wyndham manning get elected if he didn’t work the mildly socially conscious hipster vote. we have regular dance parties now (where zebo at hay hay HAY), random people showing up on party pic sites from chicago, even a panel on how to b hype. wavves – all that needs to be said. women – coming to a terrace near you soon. i mean hollywood holt is here judging break dance battles the same weekend u-n-i is performing and wale is performing at the event known for repping ‘real hip hop’ (where krs-one b?). and the word juke is thrown around regularly in the streets.

but there is more work to be done. we need more basement shows. we need a back room bike shop where they dont make you pay excessive prices (cough yellow jersey). we need more of the shitty bars around to be venues and even the small ones to suck it up and build a stage. there is more stuff we need but i wont go into it. oh maybe a good shoe store.

anyways if we want to reach the top of the list even if it is in the blogosphere we need to start an initiative. the madison hype initiative. jackmode on the name game biddy martin. if you care or dont care to care then just do your part. but open your basement to a band. let manning grow his warlock of a beard without the scrutiny of the badger herald. take back the pub. make fun of the kids at madison avenue. and in the end rep your shit to the fullest. if we can make this happen:

we can make anything happen. we r da world.

cause even if its only the list of places visiting a blog. that shit is gold in a hip world. lets make it happen/rain.
