When i hear my music in an ad I become bitter, towards the product, the artist
and life in general, without really examining why. I'm probably just mad
because I'm not special anymore.
On the other hand, I've noticed Levi's mentioned once ot twice. Also without
thinking (that's their point isn't it?), felt generally good towards them
because because of where they were advertising. I've seen there commercials
during lots of 'my' stuff, particularly AMP in the beginning when it was all
super low budget desktop animations and a website, can't think of the name right
now, that was all music videos. Now I don't deny that some ad guy probably sat
down and said "What is it kids are into these day? What the hottest thing
around" or "What am I into these days?", but in my mind especially the web ads,
translate into Support. The money to pay for the server and bandwidth so people
in Iowa can hear Air isn't cheap, its takes the kind of money that a major
corporation has.
Then on the other hand, I got 2 new 12"'s today: Thievery Corp EP's Encounter
in Bahia and Fila Brazililla's Bovine Funk. I didn't listen to either in the
store and will have to wait until I got to the radio station to hear them
tonight as my cats destroyed my TT needle.
Another hand, I liked the new UNKLE alot. But yes, very commercial and I was so
disappointed in the Mike D track. I wanted it to be the song that was missing
from Hello Nasty album. The adventure/story a la` High Plains Drifter, except
with Shadow on the beats. Shadow comes through, as always, across the entire
album.
More hands, last night I heard on Jason Bentley say something about a K&D remix
of the Modonna song, the one with Goodbye in the title? Anyone know if this out
or if it is only for head Maverick people?
