As part of a new advertising campaign “designed to convey an edgier style associated with wireless,” AT&T has recruited director Wes Anderson to create six television spots like he did with his popular American Express ad. Check them all out after the jump!
Check out this “viral” Bob Dylan marketing project that allows you to remix the infamous Subterranean Homesick Blues film made by D. A. Pennebaker by recreating the messages that appear on Dylan’s cards. I’ve already clogged my friends’ inboxes with video messages from Mr. Zimmerman. If you create one, share the link in the comments below!
I apologize for the lack of live updates during the festival - it seems that I failed to correctly configure Hypeful for receiving reports from my iPhone. Anyhoo, I had a blast and am traveling home today. So, it may be a skim day on posting. However, I will be writing later on this evening and you can expect a bucket full of posts tomorrow.
I wanted to let Hypeful readers know that I’ll be doing live (probably brief) updates from Austin City Limits 2007 all weekend long from my iPhone and then doing a more thorough wrap-up next week. For those of you who couldn’t make it to ACL Fest this year, there’s awesome news - much of it is being streamed live online this weekend.
While Hypeful offered you tips for surviving ACL yesterday, I thought I would share some more general tips to festival survival from Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips. As a man of the people, Coyne knows what concertgoers face at big music festivals - events that are both the best and worst things for music fans. Bend an ear and gain some sage advice from someone who knows the ins and outs of summer music festivals.
