Weird tv appearances!
« on: 04 Aug 2006, 20:06 »

Guys, I saw/heard a few strange things today. First, I was flipping channels, and came across a "jackass" style tv show on mtv, and they were playing the  NEW PORNOGRAPHERS as background music for like twenty seconds. Then, not five minutes later, I'm flipping through channels and see the Futureheads playing, on cartoon network, for a crowd of little kids. They looked pretty lame. I really have no idea how to respond to this. I may have not cared about the Futureheads, but what the hell is going on here? Any thoughts on this, comments, or accounts of other such things going on? While we're at it, who would we actually want to see on television, and who would we not want on television (besides everyone already on there)? does being well exposed always undermine the quality of an artist's work?

When you put a song to an ad, you've sold out and nobody likes you. Then, after a while you become cool again because of double backlash.

Am I the only one tired of hearing the song Woman - Wolfmother.

I really like Wolfmother, but I personally feel that's their worst song off of their CD. Yet, I hear that song all over the place. It's on commercials for almost every new T.V. show. Same with the song The Great Escape - We Are Scientists.

Yeah, while I don't even like Wolfmother that much, Woman is the only song on their album I would decribe as "Frustratingly vapid"

And lets not forget Pavements appearance on Spaceghost.

"Introducing... The Beatles!"

"SPACE. GHOST. LIVING THE HIGH LIFE!"

God that was great.

Incidently, that Johnny Cash on Sesame Street thing was goddamned bizzare. It had a much happier ending than the original song though, which was nice.

When I asked my doctor why it hurt when I urinate, he pointed out that my penis was on fire.  I guess that's why he's the doctor.

Didn't Pavement do the Theme song for Space Ghost: Coast to Coast?

I might be amazingly wrong here.

I never expected to hear Grandaddy's "Nature Anthem" in a car commercial.
