From The Onion:

Cancer June 22 - July 22
Rock venue managers from across the country will praise your ingenuity and business savvy next week, after you successfully employ a sheepdog to corral and guide a lineup of Wilco fans into your club.

Draw your own conclusion, but if it looks like a rat and it smells like a rat and it, um, tastes like a rat, then, well, it probably is a rat.

I'm not sure I listen to any "underground" hip hop...

But I suppose, on the whole, you are correct.

Next time you go on tour with the New Pornographers, I'd really like to come.

Brian has a great point and I'm shocked the Dunn did not put up more of a fight. The irrational disdain for anything popular is spot on.
If I had to define a hipster graduate student to a space alien, I would simply introduce him to Big Daddy. Hell, Big Daddy is a pretty hip name.
