No dearth of creative ideas

This is another idea I think is totally brilliant. To introduce Oasis’ new album Dig Out Your Soul, BBH New York came up with the idea of getting buskers in Manhattan to give the songs’ debut performances, instead of releasing them in stores or performing them themselves.

The album releases only on October 7th. More here and here. Also, take a look at the happenings behind the scenes of the Friday event:
