This radiohead thing has reminded me of the classic article by Steve Albini:

For the sake of all musicians that I know an love, I hope Radiohead is onto something big.

A bit of both probably. A) doing something new and unchartered always makes for great marketing and always sets a standard and 2) i think they wanted to get away from labels, all they do/did was reap earnings that they never really earned

I don’t think they thought about creating a new model, or Industry. When it comes down to it, they want to remove themselves from the Business and just create…

Right?

Or Maybe they did and are marketing geniuses.

Let Down is my favorite Radiohead song of all time. Greant band – I didn’t know about the new album, I’m gonna get it now.

Well put Chris. It’s crazy how things have changed since we were younger. Coaching at Lutheran has definitely made me very aware of how different things are for these young women. It’s nice to see a man with some perspective about all of this as well. Kudos to you!

I couldn’t agree more. I look back at pictures of myself and my girlfriends in our middle school/high school days and we were very plain. We wore T-Shirts and Jeans and lacrosse shorts and our hair was usually in a pony tail. We weren’t all that concerned with looking perfect.

Now, at 25, the amount of time it takes to look ‘acceptable’ is unreal. I’m much happier in my sweatpants and a t-shirt from high school than out at a bar under what feels like pounds of makeup trying to look like every other girl.

At least I had a childhood without the pressure of perfection. I have a sense of self and can brush off the pressure, but what’s to come of the middle school girls of today?

Kudos to Dove for stepping out from the norm.

Fair enough.
Although I think the distinction is that people from these companies won’t be at the party. They will be able to have their products placed and used at the party, but they won’t be there actively trying to sell you on anything. Their products are merely part of the experience.

so idk…from a marketing perspective it sounds like an interesting idea. but from the perspective of someone who would go to a party….

do you really want people to feel like they’ve just been invited to be a part of some big ad campaign? idk. feels a bit manipulative to me. like, “hey…1/2 the people here are really trying to sell you something but they aren’t going to tell you that up front. in fact, they are going to pretend to want to be friends and just hang out.”

just a thought. lol
