Storm brewing over Starbucks disc surprises Moore
|
why do people treat starbucks as the "ultimate mainstream lifestyle brand?"
It is just a place to get coffee. |
haha hahahahaha
|
i swear i haven't encountered any real person that's not in the media who are actually upset about it. jeez, it's just a dumb compilation, it's going to have chloe fucking sevigny writing some crap about how she included kool thing or dirty boots because it reminds her of summer of '91 or some shit.
but all publications, whether they are online or physical are like "all their fans are crying sell out" when probably ten out of us, from the OFFICIAL SONIC YOUTH FORUM, did in the first place. |
Dude, I'll sip on my latte with the comp in the corner of the room while jamming away at Kool Thing on Guitar Hero. I don't give a fuckckckckckckck.
|
People still upset? This is not a fucking big deal. We all do shit for money, get over yourself people. By the way I am drinking my cup of coffee that I got from starbucks.
|
Here's how it works: if it truly offends you, boycott Sonic Youth and shut the fuck up. If not, bring on the frappuccinos!
|
Not too sure why so many are upset over this. I'm a little dissapointed with T but he's allowed to do what he wants.

Actually, I believe that Chloe Sevigny wrote about The World Looks Red. |
Nothing terribly exciting in the article, but I like the comments section underneath. It felt like a home from home.
I wish SY would do more commercialised shit. I want a 2008 calendar to hang on my kitchen wall, and a diary for my desk, with Thurston's entries already filled in: 5th january - do improv thing w/ local guys... 8th february - dentist... 23rd February - personal appearance @ starbucks in leafy surrey... et cetera... |

|
Ive got the Goo poster, mug and album, and i know someone with the Tshirt so i could pretty much turn Sonic Youth into the ultimate lifestyle brand.
|
I want the Daydream Nation debit card. They only charge 2.1 % interest on overdrafts of over £ 2000.

because there are too many fucking business grads out there who need to overanalyze everything in terms of marketing. I'm looking frward to seeing the 'bucks checkout area covered with the SY promo material - their vids on the plasma screens required now at the stores. Why, I'm enjoying a strong cuppa 'bucks right now. And the odor of dry cleaning chemicals in my sweater... |

Trust me, a few fo my friends were pretty up in arms about the whole thing. I could've slapped them to be honest. |

Hahahahaha. Best! Best! Who fucking cares already? Buy it or don't. I'm going to. |

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. |
Quote:
i bet those friends read pitchfork or some other publication religiously. the whole "lifestyle" thing is not something reflected to the public (at least not yet), is a strategy and company mission...that or they are just justifying their own success and try to describe their public. hole in the wall, overpriced coffee shops have more "lifestyle brand" than starbucks; they are as much a lifestyle brand as mcdonald's is. |

omg but if they did id get my arse down the gym |

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...

funniest post ever!!! 1) probably not bo diddley, but chuck berry and little richard have sold MILLIONS of records. 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. |
Sonic Youth are Mammon.

who did you call mamón, güey? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mamon |
nah, he means ma'mmon like this:

Mamon in every possible sense of every possible spelling.

ha ha ha

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. |

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"
