email killed the postman star

first video goes and kills the radio star and I wonder as I heard some news of another kind of star  (the postman) takes a hit.

my clue? Its Mr email in the Study (or Library) with the lead pipe.

wtf 35 million people hacked.

This will go down as one of the world’s biggest hacks. A South Korea social networking site, Cyworld, has had the account details of 35 million users stolen — that is almost two thirds of the South Korean population (48 million) - and its more then all of the Canadian population.(31 million)

Cyworld is a South Korean Facebook type social networking site. The “Cy” in Cyworld as well as meaning “cyber” is also a pun on the Korean word for relationship. I figured it out with a little help of course,  its sort of a Korean version of Myspace to me. With upgrade options and page editor kits to buy to fancy it or glam it up. The site claims to have an account for every single south Korean in their 20s and is apparently the rage in Korean for this age group.

Hey all,

For any additional questions or comments feel free to post a comment. Thank you for supporting and if you keep following I`ll promise to keep making it interesting.

Under each photo is the bands name and then a comment with a link to discover or remind you who the band is or what they do. `




Smashing Pumpkins

  
Smashing Pumpkins music video - remember those?



Queen



Don`t stop me now



Caribou ( the band)


information on the band name not the animal..




The Roots



American hip hop magic

Sonic Youth

The character is from a Sega game. His name is Sonic.

Learn you they are and learn if you like them.

The Islands

Maybe I should have shown a picture of Montreal and Lavel for the local approach. I ended up deciding to use my Islands instead. The group is from Montreal and is a really good kind of catchy music to catch yourself listening to.



The Cars



not the Disney movie kids;  the band. A really good band.



Hot Chip



This song is almost like the new `around the world` song.

The Police

http://www.thepolice.com/

The Bees

it may be cheesy but I adore the song I love you. listen to and think of me.

Salt -n- Pepa

I kinda wonder if anyone tried to describe this song as something else aside from sex.

Grizzly Bear

the song that made them famous. They have plently of good stuff.

Prince

dashinly good looking music my good mate.

Chocolat

Really awesome Montreal french music band that you should know about; Jimmy Hunt's former gig infact. He's worth a check out to. 

Garbage

rainy day music

The Walkmen

My favorite band. They are amazing live. amazing. Oh the Walkmen.

Bloc Party

Usually the logo makes me want to eat glass.

Cake

are you that girl ?

Deerhunter

umm, if you didn't know; now you know - Deerhunter is really just amazing.

My Bloody Valentine

This is a real band for those unaware. Check them out. I don't think they appeal to all crowds.

The Strokes

just google these guys and you'll find something. let me know what you come up with. New album is coming out soon.

Flight of the Conchords

These guys put fun into music and the sitcom is really worth checking out.. haha. I love it.

Panda Bear

A really good chill kind of music.

The Postcards

There should have really been more then one postcard for the band name - sorry about that. The Montreal band is great and sadly does not perform enough to see live so if you get the chance do it. Yet it is worth a check out and download. 

The Presidents of United States of America

They had a few more then peaches. 

The Black Crowes 

I dont have anything to say about this band. I really never liked them.

Spoon

These guys are as good as a glass of water.

There were other pics which I will post up soon but my computer seems to need to reboot.

for the records they were. 

Pearl Jam  (the jar with pearls inside with a jam label on it)

Arcade Fire( the arcade on fire)

Black Lips  (the 3 black lips)

mind the Gap...because its iconic

How do you reassure the public and yourself and most importantly investors that you are a true an iconic brand?

That's tough question and the answer would be different from each company as they look into the mirror and try to figure themselves out.

With the recent events concerning the GAP I could not stop to think that this was either a major fuck up or a brilliant ploy to prove status. I seriously think it was the second of the two. and if not then why not try? Check this out. (putting my brand manager cap on)

1. This year Gap shares have fell about 11 percent this year. Yet as of last Friday I checked it out and Gap rose 44cents, or 2.4 percent. That's from Oct 4th ( the day the logo went out) to Oct 15th. wowzers !

2. Check out the statements from GAP reps in regards to the " reaction" from the new logo

“We’ve learned just how much energy there is around our brand, and after much thought, we’ve decided to go back to our iconic blue box logo,”

“We know this logo created a lot of buzz and we’re thrilled to see passionate debate unfolding!”

Now do I stop and think that there was really maybe just too much money given to a marketing agency and all the came up with was a facebook rip off logo ? and they decided to it launch on facebook ?

Or do I give them the benefit of doubt of a planned effort of knowing how social media works and what could be caused by the effect of "poking" people the wrong way to get the right results.

all in all I think it was a very interesting turn of events with this activity and a real proof of the social media importance in the grand scheme of things.

So all those want to be global brands.. are you iconic ? could you stir a flurry of activity in the social media world to raise stocks and sales ?

have you seen the new merino Gap sweaters ?

hit me with comments, i welcome them like the gap welcomes you with classic khakis.

think about it...

what about the China miners ?

China mine accident kills 21, leaves 16 missing: Govt

I wonder how much attention this will gather?

The power of media influence never ceases to amaze me when it comes to telling the mass public things. The Montreal Gazette shares this story, yet I wonder and ask myself questions like..

Will there be 24 hour coverage ?
Will there be the creative way of getting the 16 missing out ?
how can we make the miner's job safer?



I know its in China and the goverment is probably not going allow good or real reporting....but does the public care ? will every average Canadian know about this ?

may god bless those miners.

Born Ruffians - Sole Brother

chill song, hope there is some edgy stuff on the new one. These guys play swell live. They are coming to town soon.

Media Mash-up | Girl Talk

Girl Talk specializes in mashup style remixes, in which he uses often a dozen or more unauthorized samples from different songs to create a new song.

The Mixtape | Media Art

An independent artist I found on Flicker named "iri5" has come up with a new way to turn the forgotten art (music) on old cassette tapes into something totally new. Simply Brilliant.
