Pick Your Personal Brand Wisely

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Anti-Smoking Subliminal Public Service Ads for alt...":

wearing a D.A.R.E. shirt is about as alt as wearing a "vote for the pedro" shirt
unfortunate personal branding choice!
:-(

Is it alright to burn my DARE shirt, or do I just give it to a thrift store and hope no1 re-purchases it?

I wonder if people still feel confident about their personal brand being lined up with Nappy Dynamite. Does wearing a Vote for Mexi shirt say 'I saw Nappy Dynamite several years ago, and I am still proud to identify with the cutting edge quirky humor'?

Does n e 1 know where I can buy this t-shirt?

what's worse: hearing "paper planes" at best buy, or hearing "d.a.n.c.e" at taco bell?


I just want 2 b authentic, wear authentic clothes, and shop+dine in authentic establishments. What can I do to 'stay ahead of the curve' without feeling like mainstream entities r stealing my identity?

Strawberry Jam: I Already Have The Leak, Should I Actually Buy It?

When we all got the Strawberry Jam leak, we told ourselves, "hell yes! I'm going to buy the actual album when it comes out."
It's been a few days since Strawberry Jam came out, and even I find myself wondering if I am going to actually buy it any time soon.

I feel like next time I'm in a CD store, I'll probably pick it up, but for those of you who want to make yourself feel better, tell yourself:
I will buy Strawberry Jam when my relative gives me a Best Buy/Borders/B&N giftcard.
In the past, you've probably had to waste that gift card on some other mildly fulfilling CD, but now you can have one to look forward to.

MP3: Animal Collective - For Reverend Green

You should probably just Buy Strawberry Jam at Amazon. That's the spirit of the music blog.


Gaga BB! why r u so HOT and CREATIVE?

Honestly I had a dream that I was u. But then I WOKE UP and had to go to my real job. #FML

U look good doing some promo for Best Buy. I shop there now that Circuit City is closed. I love buying music there! My CD binder is srsly almost full! I lovelovelove album art and creative jewel cases. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE buying off iTunes, but my Honda Civic is old and doesnt have an iPod connection and my CD player is old so it doesnt play burnt CDs. I remember when my exBF worked at a speaker and car window tinting shop, he promised he'd pimp my ride. But the only thing he pimped was my body, and I ended up doing a 2 month stint as a trafficked human before the cops busted him. I testified against him and only served 2 days of a 30 day sentence. I miss my prison BF (she was a girl).

Gaga LOOKS GOOD! Cher who? #TeamGags

Panda Bear encourages u to buy his album at Best Buy for $7.99. Has he 'betrayed' record stores?


I was browsing the Paw Tracks website, which is Animal Collective's custom record label. Panda Bear's TOMBOY was recently released, and it seems like they 'negotiated a deal' with Best Buy to underprice CDs in order to generate mad sales for Panda Bro. They even made this 'coupon'/'flyer' encouraging people to go to Best Buy in order to buy it.

Personally, I am a loyal Best Buy shopper, and it is my #1 source for purchasing indie CDs. But I could see how some other 'authentic record store indie fan bro' could be pissed at this gimmick.

It is just good to know that Panda Bear is not interested in 'staying authentic' and 'winning over the hearts of the micro criticism-sphere.' His music is PRICED TO SELL and he is looking to expand his brand to the Best Buy mainstream marketplace. He needs 2 'stop effind around' with 10.0 visions and make some $$ for his expanding family.

U can't buy 4 walls and adobe slabs with buzz dollars, that's 4 sure.

Do u <3 Best Buy?
R u pissed at Paw Tracks + Panda Bear for encouraging u to buy a CD as Best Buy?
Is TOMBOY 'performing' commercially?
Do mainstreamers want to hear this album, or should they check out 'Person Pitch'?
Do u <3 the Geek Squad?
Have they ever fixed ur ________?
