on a different tip...outta curiousity what's your opinion of all these u.s. commercials with electronic music, jungle mostly. without mentioning names of gigantic entities let's just say that a jeans manufacturer seems to be using what sounds like ed rush and nico. i've seen plenty more adverts with the corporate guys trying to hide behind the latest and greatest 'new' musical scene. i've read quite a bit about electronic music being used on cable channels as fill in music here on the list in recent posts. i'm curious if any of you feel like it's a good thing, 'cuz i'm having a hard time seeing anything positive about it myself. i feel like my generation is being directly marketed too, and it's often times hard to spot the actual advertisers these days as things are so vague. the more confusing they make it, the more hip. and if it's confusing, we all look at it harder and remember the advertisers better. the next thing you know you're posting to a listserv in a sense advertising again. if you post in response to this, be vague about who you reference, because then your not feeding in to the campaign. top amen out.
