From The Rad Report

I'm not down at South by Southwest with everyone else on Earth getting wasted and watching free concerts. But I've been keeping up with it as much as possible. Did you see this last night: someone threw a lemon at Danny Brown and hit him in the head. It's kind of funny it was a lemon, but people who throw stuff at artists are idiots. Boo to you.

Speaking of South By Southwest, I'm sure you've seen all the stickers for Keep Austin Weird. I grew up in Santa Cruz where Keep Santa Cruz Weird was a bumper sticker on every other Volvo. A quick google search also reveals there is Keep Portland Weird, Keep Boulder Weird, Keep Louisville Weird, and even Keep America Weird. Have you ever thought about this? What's with middle-agers and their Keep Everything Weird? Is their some threat in the near future where everyone is going to conform to boringness? I think not, and I sure as hell aren't putting this lame ass sticker on my shitty volvo anytime soon.

    

And last but not least, it's been raining a lot in California this week so I've had a lot of time to spend in doors. I've been fooling around Tumblr and found some pretty funny blogs. How about this one - Hipster Branding. I don't know if it even makes sense. But it does make you think about how logos effect the image of the company. Goldman Sachs looks like a nice friendly organization. Kentucky Fried Chicken looks like a place that actually serves edible food. Wow.
