flyers
Not sure if this an advertisement for the band CUT COPY or some sort of meme/’dance sensation’

Yall. Was just browsing the internet and saw this flyer thing. Does n e 1 know if Cut Copy has a new album coming out? Did they create a flyer to promote their upcoming album IN GHOST COLOURS? Kinda confused. I h8 the internet because nothing has an authentic context. u just kinda have 2 guess what everything means. The internet would be better if there was some sort of unified wikipedia tagging system that gave everything a bit more 'meaning'/'context.'

Does any one know what the key on the bottom left corner is? My Dell desktop keyboard has a "C" and a "V" key, but there isn't one with that weird symbol on it. Might have to get a USB keyboard attachment or download a 'weird characters' app. I hope that some1 makes an 'app store' for PCs. Personal Computers could use some of the functionality that iPhones have. Does n e 1 else agree/want to start a 'startup' with me?

I have a lot of ideas about technology and user experiences, but need to go to technical college to be able to execute them. Might regret going down the 'design school' route. :-(

Pitchfork comes under fire for controversial SXSW flyer, beer+buzz band parody meme


Do yall drink beer? Do yall listen 2 buzz bands? The popular website Pitchfork Media has created a SXSW flyer meme that is meant to appeal to beer drinkers who are in2 buzz bands.  SXSW hosts over 300,000 parties 1-2 weeks, so it is important to create flyer that generates 'tons of internet buzz.'  Their flyer has come under intense scrutiny from buzz band fans, beer fans, and graphic designers from all over the world.

Wonder if the Neon Indian bro will be offended that they branded him as a brown skinned savage according to his little picture?

Worried that Pitchfork h8s Native American savages [via Cowboys and Injuns].

Is Memory Tapes really the 'Stella' of bands? Is Best Coast the 'Blue Moon' of buzz bands?

Washed Out = Coors Light?  Never tried it, but have heard it was a watered down frat boy beer.

Are these beer memes 'half assed' by a design intern, or did they 'waste money' by hiring a creative agency 2 do this? Do yall think that this flyer is better than the identity work done for the Videogum + Stereogum brands?

We can only assume that this flyer was made to 'go viral', but more importantly, appeal to the non-music fans who are in the Austin Area for SXSW. It seems like they will probably be technology bros who 'like premium beers.' They will see this flyer, then think that there will be premium beer for free if they attend.

The Windish Agency is one of the elite alternative booking companies for most relevant artists. We can only assume that this party collaboration with Pitchfork represents some sort of monopoly/collusion between two mega entities in the indiesphere.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Miller Lite is an official sponsor of SXSW. Do yall think they feel left out of this flyer, or are they 'pissed' that all of these other beers get 'mad representation'?

Will these beer companies 'sue the fuck out of Pitchfork' for parodying/exploiting their brands?
Will any of these buzz bands replace their logos with one of these brand parodies?
Will a buzz band denounce their
What is the worst flyer in the history of the world?
Do yall support of denounce this flyer?
Is Pitchfork going to try 2 'take over' Texas during SXSW? Worried about this imagery.
