Music in Commercials
User_Name:
I don't give two shits if a song is played on a commercial.
If it's a good song, it's a good song.
The popularity of a song doesn't lessen it's quality, and it wouldn't deter me from listening to it.

An unrelated commercial with a great song: http://www.bravia-advert.com/

That Commercial made me cry.
But no this topic has just come about in the right time. I decided to look into Jose Gonzalez (who does the song in the add) after a friend said "He's actually really good, he did that bravia add" and I'm like "awesome" so i got his 2003 album, which has the add song on it, and I'm very pleased.
I think it's a combination of the add, and the good friend brining it up, however if someone asks, i was into him before the add came out.

The problem I have is that I'll see a commercial, hear the song, forget about it, and then download it by complete coincidence a few months later. It's happened with Supergrass, Le Tigre, Kings Of Leon, and the Walkmen so far.

I bought Bryan Ferry's As Time Goes By just to get his version of "Falling in Love Again", which was used in the Victoria Tourism ads a few years ago.
Also, I bought the Go-Betweens' 16 Lovers Lane because of the old Channel 7 promos, which used "Streets of Your Town". Although not the line about butcher's knives and battered wives.

I tried to imagine what that song would be used to advertise and all I could think of was an imaginary brand of cheap beer that has a strange gritty substance at the bottom of the bottle.
