It is smart marketing for both parties, dunno why we would be picking on this. Of all things they did wrong over the years.

I thought late shows were kind of universally frustrating to all concert goers and there seems to be literally NOTHING marketable about this, and you are taking a half-baked unwanted thing and trying to spin it in a positive way but all of it seems completely ridiculous and unnecessary

Here's an idea, how about a Jim Beam®-sponsored restaurant event where they take an hour and a half to bring you your food because of the great bonding experience of sitting at a table with friends you love

It's almost like advertisers have no fucking idea what they're doing, and websites are totally at their mercy because no one else is giving them money

Did any of you ever know that "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" is actually a song about addiction? Kind of makes its choice as a beer ad even more suspect. Or perhaps ... subversive?

I dunno everyone decided en masse that no one wanted to pay for music so it seems churlish to mock everyone who's trying to navigate through the rubble

i think the fact that everyone rolled over w/r/t Converse Rubber Tracks/Mountain Dew Green Label/The oral history of 285 Kent producing events for our million-dollar website presented by TopShop means that no one cares anymore, dogg
