digital comb-overs and part-time punks
I thought everyone was up to speed with the 'digital comb-over' thing coined the other week by Jeremiah Owyang?
He says:
'Many companies are entering the social/green/community space, with hopes of impressing customers, yet despite their best intentions, they could come across as inauthentic, and be damaging their own brand.'
The new marketing and social-everything is a committment to changing the way stuff is done. (Im)permanently. Not a badge to stick on when it suits or a few buzzwords to ping around.
You have to mean it, man. Or else you're just a part timer.
It's fine to fake it until you make it, but to just fake it will fool no-one.
'They play their records very loud - They pogo in the bedroom - In front of the mirror - But only when their mum's gone out'
'Here they come - La la la la laaa la - La la la la laaa la - The part time punks'
I wanted to illustrate this with a vid of said tune by The Television Personalities but there's not one on You Tube.
I did, however, find this version by a cool multi-instrumentalist 8 year old kid called Dennis.
