I used to live right near that hill. Bouncy-balls invade North Beach!

I really liked that Nick Drake VW commercial, cause it did get me interested in his work. There are plenty of people who are like RARRRRRR IT'S A HAPPY COMMERCIAL WITH A HORRIBLY DEPRESSING SONG WORST COMMERCIAL EVER, though.
I also like that one ad that plays Grandaddy. And the other one that plays Postal Service's "We Will Become Silhouettes". Cause I like both of those songs. (They were both car commercials, but you couldn't get me to name teh car for the life of me. Talk about great advertising, eh?)
surefunk:
if it's done well, it can be cool. but it still feels weird sometimes, like when there was a modest mouse song in a nissan commercial last year. just get this feeling like "wait...what's that doing there?"
if it builds up an audience for the artist, then that's great, but i wonder how easy it is for people to even find out who the musician is if they haven't heard the stuff before.
Kai:
Or people could be awesome like Tom Waits and not want any of his music in commercials, and doesn't want people imitating his vocal style[READ:Whiskey addled scratchbox of doom], and when they did he sued the hell outta them. TAKE THAT, CAR COMPANIES THAT LIKE TOM WAITS

Blitzkreig Bop should not be used for Pepsi ads where the cans are moshpitting in the freezer and talking.
