Irie Guy Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 gross.I completely concur. Dylan and the Dead do Starbucks, what a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Gross?? Like EMI or Sony are any better. Just because it's corporate and make their living on a manufactured commodity (humans love coffee)?So are there reasons in particular that this is gross?? Not everybody cares enough to start their own grassroots businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Way I see it, fewer people are going to blink at me uncomprehendingly when I pull any of these my favourite tunes out at a campfire jam. Or not. It's probably nothing worth making too much of a fuss over. Who the hell buys cds at Starbucks anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Who the hell buys cds at Starbucks anyway?probably a ton of people, which is why they sell them. or were you being facetious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 No, I mean most things with a mininum of three twists of irony, which makes them incalculably indecipherable at best. That's how I plan to avoid government intelligence agencies when they come after me for all the things I've written on internet discussion fora over the years; I've just opted to never made sense.(But speaking more practically, I'd haver to see stats of people who hang out at Starbucks vis-a-vis people who hang out at campfire jams before anything I've said makes much palpable sense anyway.)(And, fwiw, I'd be perfectly happy taking on a research position as someone who studies people hanging out at Starbucks and people who hang out at campfire jams.)

Guest Low Roller Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I hope that Starbucks does a massive marketing campaign by putting Jarry Garcia's face on every mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 No worse than the dozens of other companies making a fast buck off another unnecessary Grateful Dead compilation. File under meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 another unnecessary Grateful Dead compilationIf the Dead is looking to expand their fan base (or demographic), this sounds like an ideal (maybe even necessary) way to do it. I doubt many GD fans will buy it (I won't), but there will be a bunch of people who'll take a chance on it (more because they know the name, and not the music) while waiting for their alpacinos.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bald guy in a blanket Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 In an era when record companies have managed to all but decimate the artistic credibility of popular music, to the point where the average person seems to regard music as background filler, I have the urge to applaud any new-ish (if questionable) attempt at distributing music of substance. Keep in mind that many of us music obsessed folk love the "surprise factor" in the discovery of (and subsequent obbsession with) newly found music...well...if the record industry can't muster this anymore, let's see if it can happen for people at the coffee shop.

lickthecoil Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) Man, I was in Starbucks last week and saw it sitting there. Took me by surprise. I was really going to rant in my blog. It just seemed wrong. The more I thought about it though, if it gets the music out to more people who normally wouldn't have had the chance to hear it, that's not a bad thing. I just really hate Starbucks. lol. Edited August 8, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagochips Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 A few years ago when I was working at a CD store that won't be named, we had these guys come in with multiple copies of brand new shrink-wrapped CDs and DVDs they had presumably lifted from Chapters and Starbucks and HMV. My boss would buy everything really cheap and then resell them just below the regular retail price even though they were exclusive to, say, Starbucks. That is how I first encountered Bob Dylan's "Live at The Gaslight 1962." Great CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
