Word. First time I heard it, I was reading (I usually have a book or something to read during the commericals if I'm watching the tube) and the jingle caught my ear, so I looked up to see what it was for. When I saw that it was Microsoft, I felt icky. But I still dig the tune. :) Greg -- Greg Clow - greg@stainedproductions.com - http://www.stainedproductions.com feedback monitor - electronic & experimental radio/reviews/interviews http://www.stainedproductions.com/feedback/ 158 Close Ave. 2nd Floor - Toronto, Ontario M6K 2V5 - Canada --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Just curious, (and pardon me if it has been dicussed before) what do people on this list think of the music for the Qualcomm ads, particularly the one with the pencil? -- JohnT/CountV "Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this." - Tony Soprano Design by Coercion - New Years update, with image manipulation section; http://www.m-ideas.com/coercion/index.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

The one with the pencil is Grand Nip's "Nip", available on the first RUC compilation CD "Monolithic Minds" - don't know about the others, though. -- JohnT/CountV "Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this." - Tony Soprano Design by Coercion - New Years update, with image manipulation section; http://www.m-ideas.com/coercion/index.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

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, NP : aril brihka: deeeeeeeparture in time (smooth like buttah') -- Jeff Davis pHlow@earthlink.net fn:216.533.6303 fx:216.266.2310 text:2165336303@mobile.att.net pHlow.linx: home.earthlink.net/~phlow/ Bochum Welt: www.bochumwelt.com Rotator Locator: hyperreal.org/music/rotator/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I think it points very much to the fact that people who work at ad agencies are more aware of what is going on in music than the 'average' consumer. The strict formatting of American radio doesn't make it very likely that anything even remotely adventurous will enter people's consciousness that way. Now, if the artists featured in the ads had enough clout to demand that there be a track/title listing in the ad's fine print, I think we'd see some of them increase sales substantially. -- JohnT/CountV "Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this." - Tony Soprano Design by Coercion - New Years update, with image manipulation section; http://www.m-ideas.com/coercion/index.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

He's a trumpeter. Released 'Green Machine' on Astralwerks some years ago (94/5) - sort of nod your head noodly (IMO) but I've heard some other more alive tracks off various comps and his newer work (I think a double CD was released last year) is paced a little faster than the earlier more ambient leanings.
