			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey yall.<br />Thought I might take some time to look at some recent personal branding decisions deployed by some of our favourite musical artists.  It&#8217;s usually more important to know what an artist/band represents, moreso than how their music sounds like.</p>
<p>Is Ladyhawke destined 2 become a lonely &#8216;cat lady&#8217;?<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/2la6idk.png" alt="Photobucket Image Hosting" /><br />[Image by <a href="http://www.ohhcrapp.net/2008/09/just-in-hour-ago.html">ohhcrapp.net</a>]</p>
<p>Has <span style="font-weight:bold;">Empire of the Sun</span> been watching sillie movies about boys who can ride flying dogs named &#8220;Falcor&#8221;?<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/walking.jpg" /><br />Do u think they contracted one of those artists who works on the side of a busy street and makes &#8216;interplanetary art&#8217; with miscellaneous planets, galaxies, and rays of modern light?<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/neverending2poster1.jpg" alt="Photobucket Image Hosting" /></p>
<p>Will Barry Obammy change his Presidential campaign 2 be less about healthcare reform/nuking Iraq, and start focusing on creating instrumental partie music?<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/obamatat.jpg" alt="Photobucket Image Hosting" /></p>
<p>Are t-shirts about to go through some sort of &#8216;innovative transitional phase&#8217; where t-shirt makers no long print text &amp; designs into shirts.  Instead, designers will cut out their desired designs.  [<span style="font-weight:bold;color:rgb(255,0,0);">WARNING:</span> StrongAlt pictured below]<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/IMG_5753.jpg" alt="Photobucket Image Hosting" /><br />[Photo by <a href="http://facehunter.blogspot.com/2008/09/nyc-fashion-week-ss09-day-4-090808.html">facehunter</a>]</p>
<p>Is M.I.A.&#8217;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&#8217;s ad?  Should M.I.A. have launched her clothing-line in the heart of back2schoolShopping season?<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/mialimited.gif" alt="Photobucket Image Hosting" /></p>
<p>Are the Jonas Brothers going to record a Christian album?  Will 60% of their songs be about &#8216;raising up&#8217; to &#8216;Him&#8217; and/or &#8217;songs that sound like love songs, but are actually about loving G-d/Jesus/Mary/Pontius Pilate.&#8217;<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/jonas_brothers_joe_16001056_wire1.jpg" /></p>

		<description><![CDATA[I just googled &#8220;guy from PNAU&#8221; to find out the name of the zany guy from PNAU.  Of course every1 likes Pnau&#8217;s hit song featuring Ladyhawke entitled &#8220;EMBRACE.&#8221;
I never knew Nick Littlemore was such an essential creative hub for some of the best blog tunes of 2k8 (a.k.a. mainstream music for Aussies).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/l_7ad7c233197a0efbb4766123d414569d.jpg"><br />I just googled &#8220;guy from PNAU&#8221; to find out the name of the zany guy from PNAU.  Of course every1 likes Pnau&#8217;s hit song featuring Ladyhawke entitled &#8220;<a href="http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2008/01/pnau-ladyhawke-functional-team.html">EMBRACE</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>I never knew Nick Littlemore was such an essential creative hub for some of the best blog tunes of 2k8 (a.k.a. mainstream music for Aussies).</p>
<p>Nick Littlemore&#8217;s projects:<br />1.  Pnau<br />2.  Empire of the Sun<br />3.  Teenager  (no yall, not the Teenagers. hehe. I&#8217;m a sillie blogger. laters)</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">EMPIRE OF THE SUN</span> seems like What Music Will Sound Like/Music Videos will look like in 2k12 (in a g00d way).  This song may or may not be the song the blogosphere has been waiting for all summer.<br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="zmM2RwlxGt0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent" ></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zmM2RwlxGt0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br />(Nick Littlemore loves to take his shirt off).<br />The video also features the best face paint mask since the <a href="http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2008/05/crystal-castles-vs-heartsrevolution.html">Heartsrevolution broad</a>.</p>
<p>I also dig the song &#8220;Alone Again&#8221; by <span style="font-weight:bold;">TEENAGER</span>.  It makes me want to be in an innocent, tug-filled high school relationship again (just went through a bad breakup with my HS significant other of 6 years).  This song is like 30 blog years old, though, but moderately uncovered since it was before Ladyhawke and Pnau had built their [HIGHLY BLOGGABLE] brands.</p>
<p><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/teenagerrropergc4.png"><br />(Nick Littlemore loves to take his shirt off.)</p>
<p>When will Nick Littlemore extend his personal brand?  I think he needs to do a few remixes of moderately popular artists under his own name.</p>
<p>If I had a lame music magazine, I would put Nick Littlemore on the cover, and have a sensationalist issue title, such as &#8220;The Savior of Blog House&#8221; or some other crap that would enrage/intrigue bloggers, and enabling the cover would go &#8216;alt-viral.&#8217;</p>
