Meme hijack via gorillavsbear
I think that the marketing team behind Animal Collective are ‘pure geniuses.’ Not only did they ‘perfectly brand’ MerriPostWeather Pavillions, and totally ‘overhauled’ the band’s general brand–they also know how to ‘inject the band into relevant discussions.’ I think this was filmed ‘before MJ died’, but I feel like they somehow knew that ‘MJ was going to die’, and wanted to ‘get as much buzz as possible.’
Sometimes it is important to ‘jump on a megameme‘, such as the MJ death. If you are important/famous/relevant enough, people are ‘interested in hearing what u have to say’ about a newsworthy event. Feels like it is ‘beneficial for content providers’ for an ‘alive famous person’ to reflect upon a ‘dead famous person.’ U can then ‘write a blog news story post’ about it, and get ‘mad hits.’ I think it is important to seem ’sad’ and ‘appreciative’ when some1 who was somewhat influential dies. Sometimes it also seems appropriate to be ’shocked.’
Not sure who is the ‘kewlest’ member of AnCo. Think that Panda ’seems chill.’ Not sure if Avey is ‘well-branded’ in a Gilligan hat/bucket hat. I feel like Geologist’s gimmick of ‘wearing a headlamp’ seems like a great one, but I think he needs to ‘commit himself’ to the gimmick 100%, and wear the headlamp during all hours of the day.

If I had seen him without his headlamp, I would have called him and told him ‘get your goddamn headlamp on.’
Feel like they have probably lost out on hundreds of thousands of dollars worth or ‘merch revenue’ by not selling a Geologist headband.
Would definitely rather have a headlamp than a ‘bucket hat.’
Still trying to ‘brainstorm’ sweet merchandising ideas for indie bands. Starting a consulting firm.

@chrises, i can’t stop thinking how bad panda looks in this vid. i think he got his man mammaries by like ‘partying hard’ or something which i respect but ‘damn, bro, damn’. he’s had his ‘ego blown’ and it went straight to his head.

also as far as merch goes will probably myself invest in laser tattoo removal.
somebody needs to get rid of of the idiotic decisions of an entire generation.
feel like people might decide- hay, maybe this islamic star and crescent tattoo my irish ass got because it ‘looked’ ‘cute’ wasn’t a good enough reason.
there are enoughreasons to remove stupid tattos to fill a bible. gonna get rich removing armpit tattoos, tattoos of stupid ass dinosaur fish, ’stars,’ mastershake, ‘matching hip guns’, mario-bros. whatever the hell it iss, i’ll make it like
your retarded ass decision never happened
I’m like a modern day Richard Nixon.

@anon,
i feel like you ironic single quotes around “looked” in the context:
” ‘looked’ ‘cute’ ”
are unnecessary.
maybe i feel like you probs should have consolidated your ironic single quotes to put emphasis on the entire phrase, as opposed to each word separately. for example:
” ‘looked cute’ ” as opposed to ” ‘looked’ ‘cute’ ”
like, when u have it the way u have it, it really makes me question their physical act of looking, which i dont think is what u were intending. i think you wanted me to question their judgement, not their eyesight.
maybe this isnt a ‘point of contention’ for any1 else
but it seems ‘very important’ to me right now
