I’ve moved into a new place which prevented me from having internet and updating this mix like normal. Obviously I’m on the internet now so that’s one hurdle down, but I still don’t have TV which may have influenced this week’s theme. I think I’m still on a Radiohead high since I decided to entitle this week’s mix after one of their b-sides.
That DeBeers ad - with Cat Power Stevens
That HSBC ad - with Miss Leslie Feist
That Axe ad - with Brazilian Girls
That Microsoft Zune ad - with the Shins
That Gears of War ad - with Gary Jules for Fears
That Outback Steakhouse ad - with a beautiful steak
That University of Phoenix ad - with the University of Pornographers
That Gap ad - with everybody in vests
That Gap ad - with everybody in leather
That VW ad - with Mr. Blue Sky
That VW ad - with The Big Day
That Ford ad - with a cute girl
I must say that I enjoy all the songs in the commercials, but can’t say that I totally approve the usage of them in a few. But then, I’m not the one with millions and they are so what do I know?
