I know what you're seying about celebrity endorsements, and you're right, shit like that has been going on for years in one form or another, but where do you draw the line? No one ever does, which is why we're deluged by ads that we don't want to see everywhere we go. Sure, there may be stuff in there that we might be interested in, but it gets lost in the crowd (well it does for me anyway) - I've given up watching most TV partly coz I can't stand being pummeled with ads for shit I don't want or need - There are very few areas of our local or global community where a recommendation for a good product is accepted at face value - if people are going to start plugging stuff to their friends just for financial gain or to be seen as "cool", then we're really in trouble. Maybe I'm just paranoid. Maybe in about 10 years buzz marketing will be as commonplace as TV or banner ads, or maybe it will be a fad that will fade out as people revolt and refuse to plug shitty goods to their mates. We'll see... First up – thanks for the compliments gents, and the thoughts, Leukozade.

I could not find another way to congratulate The Kleptones for ‘A night at the Hip Hopera’. Fantastic! I’ve spread my thanks by giving a CD of it along with ‘Never Trust Originality’ to all my friends.

Happy Christmas!

After all, is their any difference between this "new" practice and the age old practice of product placement that celebrities have emraced and proliferated over the decades. How many products for example have celebrities been given in exchange for their subliminal services???? Moreover, how many celebrities succumb to the evils of 'gift-receiving' to the extent that they then expect EVERYTHING for free? In my observations - quite a few, from Russel Crowe to Elton John, the stories remain infamous of "celebrity swollen head syndrome". How many Louis Vuitton bags would have sold at $2000 a piece if every Star including Madonna, Cameron Diaz and J Lo didn't say "YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE ONE"? They're only stitched and stencilled leather!! At least this new practice gives one back to the littler guy. True word of mouth is impossible to achieve due to the decades of marketing and advertising that our society has been exposed to. Who really knows why you like something anyways?? Put it this way - if the cool guy at school tells me he likes David Byrne or the Kleptones, I'm gonna believe they're cool and therefore bias my own judgement anyways. Its been going on in various forms for years. Who cares if the cool kid gets paid to influence me cause he's gonna do it anyways Cheers Leukozade I hear you – but i wonder what’s the fuss?
