Congrats are due to Andrea Bartz and Brenna Ehrlich, two soft-spoken twenty-something girls from Williamsburg who just landed a book deal for their tumblr “Stuff Hipsters Hate.”
From their agent:

“Stuff Hipsters Hate appealed to me for two reasons. First, it was a Tumblr site, so it had already been formed in a community and so wasn’t just being read, but was part of a subculture’s conversation about itself…Second, the authors are truly writers. Their humor is not a result of a cheap gimmick; they have voice.”

From the girls:

“So, cat’s out of the bag: After a cuppla whirlwind months, we’re going to turn Stuff Hipsters Hate into a handy field guide to hipster scorn. In Fall 2010, awesome indie publisher Ulysses Press will release our analysis of the mating habits, habitat, theology, grooming practices and preferred entertainment of the modern-day hipster, with helpful graphs and charts to understand the elusive character of the trendy beast.”

To celebrate, they’re throwing a party at Glasslands on Saturday, February 13th.

Does this mean Wolf Blitzer is going to start wearing skinny jeans and doing blow with Terry Richardson at Market Hotel? Bizarre.

CNN announced today that it will be teaming up with Vice’s VBS.TV, overseen by Spike Jonze, on certain reporting projects on its website. The first will be the Vice Guide To Liberia. Vice’s founder, Shane Smith, has a pretty classic quote in the release:
“Most people who hear about this partnership will think, ‘Vice and CNN, hmmm… That’s an odd pair of bedfellows for you.’ And you’d be right. The ‘Hipsters’ Bible’ hooking up with the World’s News Leader is a bit odd. But as our company began to evolve and cover stories around the globe, CNN was our first and only choice for a partner. In a world of hyper-partisan opinion-led ‘news,’ CNN’s credibility and reach put it in a class by itself. We couldn’t be more excited with a partner unless it was Jimi Hendrix (nod to all the Baby Boomers out there) joining our rock and roll band.”
CNN is also teaming up with Sub Pop band the Handsome Furs to show their band’s first tour across Asia, filmed on Flip cams: www.cnn.com/IndieAsia

Speaking of CNN, if you missed this footage yesterday of Anderson Cooper in Haiti, it’s pretty revealing—and also very upsetting.

It’s been said that the best thing we can do is get cold, hard, cash in the hands of those leading the relief effort in Haiti. To help make that happen, a few local venues have stepped up to offer benefit concerts in the upcoming days. Here are three. Feel free to leave any others you know of in the comments.
Tonight at Union Pool, Joe Driscoll, Living Days, Pagoda, and Sam Bisbee will perform at the Chances for Children Benefit for the Creche De L’Enfant Jesus Orphanage. It’s $15. They have an eye-roller on Gawker today with the quote, “Show the world that hipsters care,” which makes me cringe but whatever, just suck it up and donate for the children. Here’s the story: “The orphanage lies on the outskirts of the city, but because of the devastation in the Haitian infrastructure their food and water supply will be depleted by next week. New Yorkers, Duke and Lisa Scoppa, are in the process of adopting two children from the orphanage and are now heading this fund raiser to get the orphanage the supplies they need to survive.” Aside from door proceeds, all taco truck proceeds will go to the Red Cross, so go hungry.
Tomorrow night, Robert Randolph and the Family Band will be playing “a very special jam session” at Brooklyn Bowl as a benefit for the Red Cross & Wyclef’s Yele Haiti. This one’s $25 and 100% of the event’s proceeds will go to organizations. You can also bid on a package that includes eight tickets and three hours of bowling on lane 6 (“best sight lines in venue”) at Charity Folks.
The Bell House is hosting Strength Through Unity: A Benefit for the Victims of the Earthquake in Haiti next Weds., Jan 27th at 6pm. It’s $50. Jimmy Fallon, The Walkmen(!), the Cold War Kids, Sondre Lerche, and a few more bands are set to perform and 100% of the proceeds are due to go to Save The Children and Partners in Health.

Shinobi Ninja plans to release an iPhone game called “Shinobi Ninja Attacks.” In it, users can play as a band member as they battle from Brooklyn to Club Babylon, fighting ‚”evil hipsters named ‘Larry,’ douchebags from the Jersey Shore and angry subway bums.”
The game is set to release on January 28th in the app store, coinciding with a show that night at Le Poisson Rouge.

It’s inspired by their song, Brooklyn To Babylon. Video below, which def features a Mr. Bungle t-shirt:
