many thanks to Lazlo for doing the obvious and going to the VW site to
set the record straight re: music beds used for the Bug ad campaign
(reposted below for all those who missed it - can we let it drop now?).
that thread was starting to touch on my last good nerve. an interesting
thread, but overall not that important. yes, I am amazed to see the
crossover of "electronica," although we all knew it was coming, but
honestly I could care less what VW, Nike and all the rest do. even it
is my favorite artist. it's not gonna stop me from listening nor is it
gonna stop me from searching for new soundz. perhaps therein lies one
upside of what was once underground crossing into the mainstream - it
keeps us moving. and that's why we're here (idm).
and wells, don't take VW to task for oh-so unsubtley including a vocal
clip that "_says_" 'little fluffy clouds.' it wasn't them. that snip
is part of the original vocal sample that mr. patterson used as the
basis of the track in '91. feel free, however, to accuse VW of
unsubtley positioing it within the commercial the way they did. as
stated, I could care less about VW. just wanted to clear up any
misuderstandings.
have a great weakend everyone.
