The.Well.Set's Own Genuine Gentleman

Dear Genuine Gentleman,

How long should a girl wait before she has sex with a guy?

Well, well, well, I always thought that women had this figured out. It surprises me that in the era of “sexual equality” women still have to deal with this quandary.

Here is what goes on in the mind of a Gentleman:

1. First night: Awesome, I got laid. Did I even get her number? I wonder how many other times she has done this? I might or might not call to ask you out, but definitely to get lucky.
   
2. 3^rd date: Awesome, I got laid. I wonder what she thought of it? I hope I get to do it again because I always do better the second time.
3. 1^st Month: Awesome I got laid. I think I really like her but what made her wait so long to sleep with me? She must be a good girl?
4. God this is a long time: Awesome I got laid. Finally. Finally. Finally. Thank God all my effort has finally paid off and I am a happy man. If I did not like her so much I would have broken up with her a long time ago.
5. Marriage: Awesome I got laid. Actually this is not that awesome because we waited so long that I have forgotten all my moves. I hope she doesn’t think that I am always this quick and bad. I hope we have chemistry...
   

So, ladies, all you have to do is decide which one suits you the best. Just remember: he'll talks about you to his buddies because he is going to talk and talk a lot. So, don't do anything that you would regret having spread through the grapevine.

Ladies, thanks for your time and keep the questions coming: genuinegentleman(@)thewellset.com

Totally Rad New Hipster Act: Neon Indian

For quite some time, the brain child behind Neon Indian was kept a secret. Who was this man bringing back techno 80s pop in such a fun and brilliant fashion? No one knew (hence the picture on his myspace page). Well my friends, the secret is out. Neon Indian is Alan Palomo. Son of Jorge, a Mexican pop star from the 80s, Palomo gets inspiration from his father’s glory days and incorporates them into his dream-wave hipster sound. He’s also the DJ mastermind VEGA – his beats are hot. I’ve had the privilege to see VEGA perform and hang out with him; he’s a totally rad dude. He also made his album, “Open Psychic Chasms” in my boyfriend’s scary old house – I know, I know - I’m so hip.

My favorite song on the album is Deadbeat Summer. So fun, light and catchy. I’ve been listening to it a lot lately with these rain-filled days.

Here’s what Pitchfork has to say – “Working with Brooklyn-based visual collaborator Alicia Scardetta as Neon Indian, Palomo has brought all the best of 2009's summer sounds-- bedroom production, borrowed nostalgia, unresolved sadness, deceptively agile popcraft-- together on a single album.”

“Open Psychic Chasms” hit indie record stores today – so check him out and you’ll be on the forefront of the Austin hipster scene. And he’ll be playing the Blue Stage at Fun Fun Fun Fest on November 7. Buy your tickets here.
