almax should have clarified - i meant more big big acts, ie 3-10m in sales - i wouldn't call FFD a big act in that regard but yeah i am sure they are doing well with live shows/records etc

one of the greatest myths of the last few years is the success of radioheads 'internet' album - the reality is/was it wasn't much more than wise promo. 1/ it was released in stores, using traditional channels and distro at a price shortly after 2/ by a record label 3/ radiohead had 13 years of massi...

not sure whether i agree with shadow, but i am still not sold on the sentiment that music is 'healthier than ever' now thanks to the net. one of the arguments with the 'liberation' of music is that 'people aren't forced to buy albums of stuff they don't want' ... which might be true ... but even wit...

i guess we can argue back and forth about the obligations of the advertiser in a society sense ... who's responsibility is this and that and blah blah and we can all flame about how awesome we are and how much more we know about advertising and comms and real world realities and shareholder responsi...

yes hardy i acknowledge what I've said isn't a practical scenario, thanks for the flame.

shepherd

mrj - i think advertisers have more of a duty that to just move product ... they need to have some sort of contribution to society beyond the direct consequence of using humans to manufacture/move units and in doing so create employment. society is 'the market' so thus don't they have a vested inter...

Furthermore the Herbal essences ad? WTF is wrong with that? Who is it offensive to? Herbs? Shampoo executives? What has that ad depicted that is offensive? A rastafarian with dreadlocks? Last time I checked rastafarians DO have dreadlocks. Its part of their religion. could be looking into this too ...

i think the KFC ad is an interesting one. For a US citizen the incorrect nature would be obvious. For an Australian not so much. Now - given the whole theme of the summer creative concept is about giving rowdy cricket fans regardless of race or stature KFC to generate a desired result (tickets, quie...

Yessir. Its not too late to change your mind and play this set Ben! BE THAT GUY!

have to agree dan, that justice record is killer and it stands up well a few years after release.

shepherd

i agree gnat - FF are such a great band. i lost my mind with the first album and the next 2 have been really good too i reckon.

shepherd

Has anyone else seen the Rock The Bells doco - Redman is mega ripped in the hours leading up to him playing ... so much so I am surprised the guy can even perform (he barely makes it to the show). Imagine he's still doing the same thing now.

Out of Order will always be the start of my breaks love :smt007 and for that, Ben and Nick, I really fucking thankyou!! :lol: So many night partying, best being Soul of Man... they had a video camera I beleive and filmed nearly the whole set.

i think the reason many taxi drivers people have experienced are individuals with limited english skills and a lack of knowledge around directions/roads etc comes down to the low pay offered (due to cabs being a low margin, volume business) combined with extremely high levels of employment in Austra...

it'd sold 2.8m units even before the name was unveiled.

the name is irrelevant ... all it is is a brand extension which will drive more use of the product and more sales.

i personally don't like it, but i like what kraft are trying to do to diversify the product and drive more revenue.

i think the issue of whether it's getting worse or otherwise is irrelevant ... what's happening is ridiculous. no one should feel unsafe in their own city after dark and no one should be dead after a night out. i don't see much being done to address the larger issue and contributing factors. the med...

do they teach accounting in the Japanese language in Australia?

i reckon that'll will go for about $450-470 quick.

decent location - 6-7k from city ... nice exterior ... pretty standard inside but there'll be enough demand around it to push it to mid 400's from the first homey couples

I'm disappointed with the lack of support from people on here

why is that, cos not everyone is bang on your idea for organising a party? i think everyone is pretty supportive of doing something to help ... some ppl disagree that having a party might not be the best idea.

As NakedAge said earlier, some people can't spare the cash at the moment. I'm one of those people.
