(I know, riiiiiiight?)
This guy is the real deal for at least the next year or so.
His name is sorta juvenile: Bruce Springersteen. He's got a new album out called, "The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle".
Dis guy is the hipster of all hipsters. I'm surprised Pitchspork hasn't run a story on him yet. This album might be my favorite of the year, and I can see bright things in Springersteen's future.
Check out these ultra-hipster, sensitive "bad-boy" lyrics:
"Them schoolboy pops pull out all the stops on a Friday night/The teenage tramps in skintight pants do the E Street dance and everything's all right" - The E Street Shuffle
He also loves to go to "ironic" beaten down "theme" parks:
"And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag/I got on it last night and my shirt got caught/And they kept me spinnin'/I didn't think I'd ever get off" - 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)
THIS GUY IS FOR REAL, KIDS. YOU HEARD HERE FIRST.
Imagine if Eminem, Bob Dylan, and Arcade Fire wrote a album. That's what this sounds like. No kidding.
Here's a track from the album. Tell me what you think!
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!
