I think think people at the ad agencies know anything about music. I think they just pick something that sounds strange and go with it, or their friends tell them what to use. I think the old trend was (and sort of still is) to use popular songs that *everyone* knows and can identify with. But some companies (Microsoft) are trying to use music that they think *nobody* knows as a way to make themselves look like they are on the forefront of technology. Either that or the fact that d'nb, dance music, etc. sounds like what some of my friends call *computer music* and being a computer company . . . steve. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
