Mugshot Monday - “Surly Brewing Company” coffee mug  w/ Surly Coffee Bender at Birchwood Cafe.

Now, this is what I call a coffee break! Actually, my friend Corey and I headed over to the Birchwood Cafe to pick up some lunch, so I decided to snap a quick Mugshot Monday and share a can of Surly Coffee Bender. It’s really good beer. I got it at Birchwood a few weeks ago and they serve it in a very cool Surly glass coffee mug, which is a nice touch.

Here is Corey drinking his “half” of the Coffee Bender:

And here is the awesome can design and the other side of the mug, “It’s never too early to get surly.” Indeed.

I think I need to buy me one of those coffee mugs. But it doesn’t look like they are for sale on the Surly website. Now worries, I’ll get the Trucker Hat instead.

I don’t mean to be disrespectful, just instructive, but I’d like to comment on the comments of Sen. Coleman and Gov. Pawlenty. As we know, Coleman won the 2002 Senate election 11 days after incumbent Sen. Paul Wellstone was killed in a plane crash. Polls showed Wellstone was going to win that election. For Coleman to call Franken “an accidental senator” is tragically ironic, for there are some who believe Coleman was the original accidental senator.

KIA Soul - A New Way To Roll 2010 / This or That | HD 720p (via Pubdujour)

Had a great conversation with a friend. We were talking about the “gatekeepers” in American society, and how those who don’t fit inside the box are ostracized. 

Which led me to mention that I love how the original hip-hop artists defied convention, wrote their own rules. Self-determined, they managed to totally flip the music industry’s script. When they were dismissed by the major record labels, they established their own cottage industy. And just look where hip-hop is now.

My friend agreed and started singing the Black Sheep song in this hot Kia commercial. You know, the head-banging song with this hook, You can deal with this, or you can deal with that?

The song’s actual title is “The Choice is Yours.” It’s obviously not the first hip-hop classic that’s been used in mainstream advertising … but it’s always nice when one of these funky old-school cuts is dusted off and introduced to a new and wider audience.

The early hip-hop closet is bursting at the seams with great songs just like this. But hey, don’t tell Madison Avenue, okay?

Visit HipHopPress to read all about the Kia Soul Hamsters ad campaign.

Well put. That Black Sheep record was/is great. Makes the hamster ad better/tolerable, without a doubt.

I like cows, a lot. But this ‘cows & cows & cows’ video is totally crazypants.

The recent totally awesome Old Spice social media campaign did not convince me to buy their product. That’s not because I didn’t like the advertising — in fact, I loved it. And it’s not even because they didn’t answer my question. Not a big deal. They were busy, and there were better questions. I discovered that the core product features of Old Spice just do not appeal to me, regardless of the brand. I don’t immerse myself in manufactured smells. And I won’t start now. But the campaign did make me think actor Isaiah Mustafa would be an interesting guy to follow. Also, the Old Spice copywriters were brilliant, so I’ll search for them on twitter and follow them, too. It’s interesting: I had a positive response to the Old Spice advertising, a negative response to purchasing the product, and a positive response to the individual personal brands contained within the advertising production of the campaign. It’s such a complicated (and awesome!) marketing world we live in these days, huh?

Call me a grumpy old codger, but I liked the old way better. For one thing, I used to have at least a rudimentary idea of how a newspaper got produced: On deadline, drunks with cigars wrote stories that were edited by constipated but knowledgeable people, then printed on paper by enormous machines operated by people with stupid hats and dirty faces. Everything is different today, and it’s much more confusing. For one thing, there are no real deadlines anymore, because stories are constantly being updated for the Web. All stories are due now, and most of the constipated people are gone, replaced by multiplatform idea triage specialists. In this hectic environment, mistakes are more likely to be made, meaning that a story might identify Uzbekistan as ”a subspecies of goat.

Q: If I already take a “GPOYM” on Mondays, can I still take a “GPOYW” on Wednesdays?
