Hey yall.
Thought I might take some time to look at some recent personal branding decisions deployed by some of our favourite musical artists. It’s usually more important to know what an artist/band represents, moreso than how their music sounds like.
Is Ladyhawke destined 2 become a lonely ‘cat lady’?

Has Empire of the Sun been watching sillie movies about boys who can ride flying dogs named “Falcor”?
Do u think they contracted one of those artists who works on the side of a busy street and makes ‘interplanetary art’ with miscellaneous planets, galaxies, and rays of modern light?
Will Barry Obammy change his Presidential campaign 2 be less about healthcare reform/nuking Iraq, and start focusing on creating instrumental partie music?
Are t-shirts about to go through some sort of ‘innovative transitional phase’ where t-shirt makers no long print text & designs into shirts. Instead, designers will cut out their desired designs. [WARNING: StrongAlt pictured below]

Is M.I.A.’s new clothing line trying to appeal to authenticallyAlt 12 year olds? Is this promotional image supposed to be going head-to-head with a traditional Target/Jc Penny’s ad? Should M.I.A. have launched her clothing-line in the heart of back2schoolShopping season?
Are the Jonas Brothers going to record a Christian album? Will 60% of their songs be about ‘raising up’ to ‘Him’ and/or ’songs that sound like love songs, but are actually about loving G-d/Jesus/Mary/Pontius Pilate.’
Seen n e personal brands that u r willing 2 gimmick urself in2 lately?
Plz send me ur personal branding questions if u need help aligning ur brand with today’s modern society.

MIA’s clothing line is sooo ironic cuz zany afrikan blipsters will never be able to afford $75 tee shirts, unless they’re the children of some chief/warlord. i feel like this shit is kinda racist, like the hoodie with the watermelon print, she should also make one with fried chicken on it M.I.A. X K.F.C.

did NEone see that movie about crazy christian kids at camp? that little girl who said she sometimes “dances for the flesh” probably has lust in her heart for 2 out of 4 jonas bros.

on the contrary, ian, I think that MIA’s new clothing line will appeal to white people every where who still “want to be down” but don’t want to travel all the way to africa or even “downtown” and buy a real african printed dashiki (too authentic). these people do not want to spend a whole lot of time studying the tribes, the prints, the issues (so many choices !) but still want to show every one that they are generally empathetic to the plight, the struggle of the black/brown/yellow/indigo children of the inner cit-ay and whatever issues are going on in zimbabwe/the rain forest/antarctica/the south side.
1 world, 1 tug yall.

how do old people (25+)update their personal brands without looking like a “cool parent” or like they’re trying to be a young alt?
how do you move past indie/careless/anti-fashion/post-grunge?

i’m making home made world trade center cookies for 9/11. i like to bite the tops off and them pulverize them to cookie dust.

What if your personal brand is basically waking up at 1:00pm hungover and picking up a wrinkled T and a pair of shorts and calling it good? Wouldn’t usually shower till later in the evening…. I’m looking to update this brand… perhaps I should start combing my hair?
