The Aimless Dovepuppets
...a band I've invented as a kind of litmus test for hipsters.
They're coming up in Hoxton, I tell them. They're about to break big time. I've got their first EP on first-press seven inch vinyl. Only the boring black vinyl though, not the super-rare, only-five-ever-made picture vinyl with the hand-inked sleeve.They're a kind of post-fusion, post-colonial electro hip-hop feminist collective who happen to play gigs when they're not sitting in dark corners and cutting themselves.

Responses and consequences:

Response:
I've never heard of them. Are you sure you're not making it up?
Consequence:
A good person. Buy them a drink. This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

Response:
Yeah, I've heard of them. My friend's got the *gold* vinyl.
Consequence: Wanker, avoid.

Response:
I liked them about three months ago.
Consequence:
You feel that itch in your knuckles? That's God's way of telling you to smite. No jury would convict you! Attack! Kill!

Why would you like someone who accuses you of making things up just because they haven't heard of the band you're bleating about?
That just makes them as condescending a prick as you are.

Condescending prick? Born and Bred!
'That just makes them as condescending a prick as you are.'
As I said, the beginning of a beautiful friendship. We condescending pricks have to stick together.
Pricks...sticking together...Mmm. Heh heh heh.

Interestingly enough...
I did a similar thing in the Winchester area whilst I was at college a few years ago. I made up an emo band called "My Yesterdays Wednesday", and even booked them into a regular pub-haunt of me and my chums to sit and watch the emos turn up amidst great comments such as "I was friends with the guitarist" and "I liked them when they were playing their first gigs, before they were commercial" :/
