Ok, this has been bothering me for awhile now.

Does anybody remember that commercial (I think it was for a Touareg) out quite a few months ago; where there was a couple driving through the woods, then stop, and the girl gets out and gets on a bus?

What was the music in the background? Just a guy voice with an acoustic, doing some arpeggio.

Richard Buckner. It's called "Ariel Ramirez" and it's on an album called Since.

Well alright! Thank you muchly.

On a related subject, Sam Prekop coupled with Kleenex. Who'd have thunk it.

Actually Sam just did a huge Target TV spot.

"Wake up 'cause I wanna go...

You can have it all...."

Really? Cool!

I must admit that I don't really watch the box...there's probably all manner of good promo-related music these days...

Since is an album of great goodness.

Has anyone seen the Tampax tampon commercial that's playing "Hot On The Heels Of Love" by Throbbing Gristle?

Several Commercials took me aback a few years ago...

One of the instrumental tracks off of the Prekop record (the first one)... the track with the gentle piano and was sort of sparse) was in a very unrelated Tylenol commercial with a guy looking all head ached and shit...

Jim O' Rourke's Women of the world being used in some really serious looking Investment/bank or something corporation ad. I do remember it had a presumably rich couple relaxing on a beach with that "i'm multi-ethnic and i gots cash to burn cause my bank that digs on O'Rourke got its shit together"...

And the eagle ear that i have once picked up on the most obscure of all the ones i have ever recognized. There was that Levi's commercial that used the first half minute of a track on "Directions in Music" by the man they called Bundy K. Brown. It was the one with the guitar through what sounded like a leslie whilst a pair of jeans looked "all being constructed whilst awesome dudes from cool bands collaborated and shit".

I have given up, all of this. I do find it hilarious that both MTV and VH1 insist on filling their tv shows and several ads with music that they never ever would play on the air. I do recall hearing tracks by the American Analog Set incessantly last summer or so, whilst teenage gals and Jock fuckerfuckfuck dudes were all like "lets raid rooms/and be depraved on spring break while sensitive indy rock that i could never appreciate, let alone notice wafts through the speakers of a generation slowly selling itself to McDonald’s and continue to force feed shit into my puerile lives filled with inane ring tones and bullshit cinema that only shines the light on the unfortunate failure of my parents generation to raise me correctly, which in itself is an unfair statement, as one could argue that the failure truly lies in the generation prior paving the way for a generation born into a world of privilege that will be next to impossible to afford to live in without the diminished returns from our rich parents, because our education comes second to my tan and 'hooking up' and Shit". Say that without breathing.

I need a nap

i just heard a pinback track on a commercial, but i don't know wut...
