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... |

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. |

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. |
