In a major attempt to start a heated debate, I'd have to interject on
one thing: music is a commercial thing, and thus musicians sell to the
highest bidder even before commercials are made. Now, both the Aphex
commercial for Pirelli tires, and Biosphere's Levis Jeans commercial
were absolutely brilliant works of art. Like the respective artist's
music, the commercials did more than simply sell a product, they were
enjoyable to watch, and spoke well for the artists. Now if it had been
artless commercial schlock, you'd have something to argue about...but
you do remember the levis commercial right? What a great spot.
