The MisShapes-Pulp Battle: We’re Pretty Sure We’re Going To Lose This One

December 1st, 2006 // 8 Comments

Arrrgh! It was bad enough that the New York city DJ crew MisShapes had to MisAppropriate one of our favorite Pulp songs; now, they’re even starting to crib their fashion, too. Why hasn’t Jarvis done anything about this/ Is he out shopping for oversized novelty spectacles again?

Also, to BPM magazine: Please. These guys are neither punk nor a phenomenon. They’re Gelflings with stylists.

    Personally I’ve got nothing against the MisShapes crew, but you folks are aware that, outside of NYC, they’re known to, oh, about seven people, including me?

    Don’t insult gelflings like that!

    Does anyone over 22 dare show their face at Misshapes?

  4. Brian Raftery

    That’s what I always want to think, but then I see the national-magazine covers and backpack ads….but yeah, we tread lightly with the MIS kids.

    they’re a hop, skip and pomade away from opening a weekly night in vegas. after all, west coast fucktards need to sweat and sway with a Sparks-swilling, herpes crowd too.

    I’m deeply entertained by the idea that the Misshapes kids are driving DJ technology in NYC. No one uses Serato there? Really? Even if every other dj in the tri-state area is hopelessly married to vinyl and cds, what you use to play records isn’t what makes a dj great; neither is the “we’ll play what we want, to hell with the audience” attitude.

    Hey, I’m really looking forward to the cross-over attempt, where they have to, you know, actually do something. That is something besides looking perpetually hungover.
