personally, i think it's cool that some innovative tunes are seeping into
our TV commercial IV drip, whether it's for a company we'll all admit we
admire or one that we think is generally perceived as the antichrist whose
jingle sounds like the theme from "schprockets". i even thought the GAP
commercial which x-faded vanilla ice into "sleighride together with you"
was pretty chill.
but, the commercial ditty which is really pumpin my veins lately is the
newer VW ad, with the yellow beetles in a flower pattern. wicked, high BPM
proto-dolphin d&b, almost sounds like hrvatski on prozac.
any spotters got coordinates on that one?
peeeeece,
