ok i saw just about the coolest commercial i've ever seen in my life yesterday. its this Levi commercial. its pretty much a single shot comm. of this guy driving a Chevy Nova down the street. the shot is looking through the open passenger side window over to the driver and in the passenger seat is this wacky yellow Muppet that is getting down to whatever the driver has in the tape deck. and i mean he is really grooving on it...hes got the head bopping and the finger tapping and the driver is just going about his business like this Muppet was like just one of his wacky buddies. theres not a single word in the whole commercial, just this rad ass track playing on the on the system and its hilarious! then the Levi logo flashes down in the corner for a sec. and thats it. genius! anyhow, has anybody seen it cause i want that track. is sounds like it could be found here if not anywhere else. i know some of you watch TV and listen to more stuff than i do so could you please let me know. this kind of remindes me of the time everyone wanted to know what the music from the newer VW adds was. i wonder if its the same addvertizing peeps. i guess Levi has a site where you can find out... love that Muppet// ?-???-?

The puppt is Flat Eric, and he (it?) has become quite a celebrity over in the UK where the commercials (there are several) have been running for a while now. I'd heard that they were considering introducing the campaign over here in North America, and I guess they have. http://www.getflat.com is the official Flat Eric website, but if that doesn't have the info you're looking for, try doing a search on "Flat Eric" - there are a buttload of sites.

hey, no, wrong. that commercial is very boring and really lacking of any redeeming value. the track sucks. boring, repetitive beat. yawn. awful. there's really nothing interesting going on at all. please work on your definition of a good avert, and furthur, good music. - wells oliver / s0ewoliv@titan.vcu.edu " The ball is round.

I read an article about this campaign a couple of weeks ago, and apparently the commericals are for a line of non-jean pants that Levi's sells in the UK. Part of the reason it took so long to bring the commercials the North America (even though they're set in the US) is that Levi's wasn't sure if they wanted to introduce the new clothing line over here. I guess they decided to do so if the commercials are appearing on US television.

hey, don't wheel yourself over to the ol' keyboard on my account. (HA HAA!) no no, sorry dude :) i'm not making fun of you...i know somewhat how that feels, i guess. a couple of years ago, i had a friend that was in a wheelchair. she use to be all anxious like that. she was in physical therapy for like 6 years. she's all up and walking now, but the best part was that her whole attitude on life changed which was cool because she could be a real bitch at times ;) i just had to put up w/ her shit or leave. don't trip though. things should get better, but after that last comment, ya butt hole, i should probably go to you doctor and have him give you the wrong medication =). i would say "don't give up champ" but that sounds to much like one of those corny local public service announcements. anyhow, cheers// ?-???-?
