TRESemmé - Flawless Curls - Jamie Leonhart (feat. The Resource) - Told You

Well, don't have much to say about the ad. Girls. Curls. That's that.



You can listen to the full song at LastFM here.

Guiness - Alive Inside - Champion - No Heaven

All around it's a pretty good spot. It definitely grabbed my attention, one of those wasn't-actually-looking-at-the-TV moments and looked up because the music very quickly caught my ear. I checked out the rest of the album "Chill 'em All", the unlikely conclusion is that of dipping into the various waters of electronic music. Who knew?



The full song:



And can be purchased from Amazon.

Sony Playstation - Network - Her Space Holiday - Pass It On

It's funny because Her Space Holiday used to sing distressed songs about girls and drug abuse. I was shocked to learn that this track was a product of theirs. Who knew? It's nice to know they could cheer up and even want to pass it on. Happy to hear it.

This song will become available in 2009 on the EP "Boys And Girls".

Gaultier - Madame - Miss Kittin - 3ème Sexe

Miss Kittin can pretty much reinvent herself and remain on the tip of style whenever she likes. I rarely hear a track of her's that doesn't perk up my ears. Always a pleasure.

Zappos - Put A Little Zappos In Your Life - Donavon Frankenreiter - Free

The animation is super fun, almost kind of Song of the South in a more urban scenario, very much dig it. And with the aid of chill surfer guy sand-songster Jack Johnson, Donovan Frankenreiter is paralleled perfectly with this cartooned commercial. Enjoy.




The full song:


The song can be purchased on iTunes.

Windows/Vista - The Mojave Experiment - The Ruby Suns - Oh Mojave

When Seinfeld was doing those spots with Bill Gates, they were awesome. This, eh, not so much, but I still think the music is fun and yes it does lead us to an interesting band, The Ruby Suns. So, thanks for that Windows or Bill, which/whoever.

Levi's - Live Unbuttoned - Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - (Do You Wanna) Come Walk With Me?

This ad seems to cause a lot of "jibber-jabber" on YouTube. People do lie, but most people don't repeal so many lies so quickly right after lying, at I least I didn't think they did. As Fugazi put it, "it's not what they're selling, it's what you're buying". Wise words.

Absolut - Pillows - Boum! - Charles Trenet

Pillows for all! Ah, if only it were this easy and fun, with a French soundtrack to boot or Boum! in this case.



The full song:
Boum! - Charles Trenet

Microsoft/Zunes - Zunespass - 1. Common & Pharrell - Universal Mind Control 2. Afrikka Bambatta - Planet Rock

Common having evolved from Common Sense does help to explain his uniqueness, ability to redefine himself and come back with another hot track, as common sense really isn't that common at all. It's also never a surprise to learn that Pharrell is behind what's droppin'. Always choice. And of course, without Afirka Bambaataa where would electro-clash, dance rock, Missy Elliot, Beck (and the list goes on) be? He is the man, but where would Afrika Bambaataa be without Kraftwerk and Kraftwerk without CAN and CAN without Lamonte Young and Lamonte Young without Erik Satie.... Guess we'll never know where the seed was originally planted, but it's nice to know it's fruit bears endlessly : )



Universal Mind Control:
Universal Mind Control - Common

Planet Rock:
Planet Rock - Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force

Southern Comfort - Soco & Lime - The Lodge - Suspended Moment

Normally I'm not interested in posting originals, yet this ad displays that some of the music houses out there are really stepping it up. The Lodge, an outfit in NYC, managed to pull this off. I honestly would never have guessed this was original music. Anyway, looks like we'll have be checking back in with The Lodge on occassion to make sure we're completely in the know.



Check out the deal about The Lodge <- here. Click on menu, then Our Work, then Our Featured work to get their current list including this one.

Wii - Fit - Friendly Fires - On Aboard
