oops. looks like i did open that fishy kettle. I guess what I was trying to
say moreso is that film producers/companies and advertising people should
try and be a little more creative in their choices of artists to utilize.
even though I've said before on this list that I personally detest "our"
music being used in advertising... film I don't mind so much since that's
somewhat of a kindred creative pursuit to music.
anyway, I don't mean to point fingers at anyone on the list at all or to
downplay European music in general. just stirrin' shit up!
