i don't see how starbucks are a lifestyle brand seeing as they only make coffee. it's not like they have an airline and branded soft drinks and fitness clubs.

Pictures of the skateboard please!

When is this coming out anyway?

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

it's just a fucking overpriced coffee shop, who gives a fuck about it or coffee or a cd you don't have to buy? jesus. the only good thing about starbucks, we have 3 in our town, and all 3 of them have the prettiest girls i've ever seen in my town of 42,000 people. they have to be doing SOMETHING right...

brb, goin to Starbucks

SY has been bitching about record companies for ages,no one is forcing them to do bizeness with these dudes,the biz side has never been about,all that we are the world shit.Chuck Berry,Little Richard & Bo Diddley ,had to sell 60 records to make a cent. When Thurston wore the EP t-shirt on t.v. last week,he was advertising,and everyone on here is like,I want a cool EP shirt.
EP is not the fringe indie label it once was,it's like legit and established now& it means they don't just bank roll bands.There are plenty of smaller labels,who could handle SY-Lookout-Ted Leo's music manages to be everywhere,what's wrong with Matador? I know the guys from Dead Meadow-it seemed like a good situation for them-they did what they wanted to do musically.Drag City,of course Drag City wouldn't touch SY-probably because of Starbucks to name one thing.Then ask yourself,what kinds of things does DC put out? Are Neil and Jennifer struggling to make ends meet,cuz there on a small label.

P.S. get the sand out of your vagina please, you have enough there to beach a whale or two

this makes me wonder....how many boardies have livejournals? hmm.

2) you idealize labels like if they were the holy grail of the world, THEY ARE ALSO BUSINESSES!! (oh sorry, "bizenesses"); lookout get royalties from green day and not just their first two albums, matador do drop bands when they don't sell enough records just like the majors (see bardo pond) and drag city now have international distribution; i don't see how you consider these labels small or fringe.

Because people are so disconnected and eager for a sense of community that they're willing to invent it anywhere. The whole "coffee house community" thing is a silly sham. I agree.

And I, for one, like the absurdity, as TM says, of a Sonic Youth CD in Starbucks. And it's better than, say, a Stones CD. Now if we could only get Starbucks to stock LPs.

i pity the fools.

but in some neighborhoods that was indeed the truth circa 1997, before earbud headphones became the "fuck off" accessory of choice.

there was this coffee house in federal hill (baltimore) that was the best meat market EVARR.

they have since changed location i believem they used to be on charles st.

http://one-world-cafe.com/

BUT ANYWAY.

also the starfucks near university of maryland in the XXI century used to be a grad student hangout until a place w/ the cheeseball name of "college perk" (as in college park) took over.

zee riviu

that's not the case with generick shopping mall hellholes however.

I BLAME THE SUBURBS.

I wasn't aware that they were bitching. It seems to be a bunch of indie hipsters that are doing all the bitching.

You ask any of the recording musicians on here if they'd like the chance to have tons more people exposed to their music, you can bet they'd say hell yeah.

"indie hipsters"

there is always someone to hate. blacks, women, gays, and now hipsters.
