My favorite is a car commercial used M83s Don't Save Us from the Flames which is about a fiery car accident. And also VW using Psychic TVs Roman P - lyrics "are you free are you really free?" Referring to Polanksi's arrest for being with an underage girl.

Target once had ads with Devo's Beautiful World in them but Gerry and/or Mark probably allowed because Devo songs in commercials is really funny.

It’s no longer online because it predates the internet and they had to actually remove it from circulation but Disney made ads and a trailer for The Tigger Movie with Semi-Charmed Life, which I guess is one answer to why Tigger has so much energy

The number of people who dedicate it to their mom who passed away, it makes you think if they heard any of the lyrics beyond "in the arms of the angel." You know, the whole "you're so tired of the straight life/ when everywhere you look/ there's vultures and thieves at your back/ stone keeps on twisting, you keep building the lies/ that you make up for all that you lack." Yeah, that's certainly not a song about overdosing and dying.

I remember seeing an automotive ad that used only the first line of the Dandy Warhols' “Bohemian Like You,” and then awkwardly cutting to a bunch of “Cause I like you/Yeah, I like you” and "whoo ooh ooos." Fake edit: found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm3A4uKbM6U Also, using “Pink Moon” to sell Volkswagen Cabriolets is a little tone deaf. I know the song sounds pretty and lyrics are open to interpretation, but whatever the song's talking about, it ain't good.

My new mix dropped a little early this week. Funky library and jazz with a little avant-garde pop thrown in for good measure. All vinyl all the time. https://www.mixcloud.com/Radio_RapTz/moss-appeal-37-ft-dj-moss/ Next month is Rocktober and I am tempted to just play Dopesmoker in it's entirety. Does the Melvin's Lysol album count as one song? I know it is comprised of multiple songs but it is one seamless track. Thinkin' bout long songs now.

That's kind of an interesting one because that song being in the Volkswagen commercial renewed interest and Nick Drake and brought attention to his work that hadn't been there in decades. I bought the CD at the recommendation of a friend around that time and there was sticker on it announcing it had the song from the Volkswagen commercial. Say what you will that stupid commercial probably did a lot to keep his music alive.

If you bought all three albums at $7.99 that would still be at least five dollars more than what those three box sets cost.

I got an email today for a shipping notification from discogs. Apparently when I got drunk on Saturday I ordered a mint copy of The Reminder by Feist for $20. Happy surprise, especially since it's out of print and normally goes for more than $60. Hopefully I have a better experience than when I ordered Metals by Feist and got a hosed up copy by a German seller who refused communication and I only got my refund from paypal when he refused to respond to their inquiry.

What the hey, I got a bunch of odds and sods at the thrift store, was actually kinda excited about a couple of old records like this:  Did not even know he did a solo album. I'm not such a fan as to buy this at a store but I was once. Here, another that I really loved 30 years ago:  One of the last hippies. I loved her songwriting back then. A couple of obscure Wendy Carlos:   And I got a whole buttload of obscure German dance hall music from the 60s. This is the world I was supposed to have grown up into, playing horn in an ensemble like this.  And on a slightly more serious note, here, Mahler's symphonies all for $5.  Oh and here's a couple good'ns:    Oh, here, one of my teenage crushes:

Oh, and I acquired a new needle for my cheap 78 record player, so I'm gradually getting ready to rip those exercise records I showed you all. And I mad a discovery, the glossy rectangles shaped like record jackets actually open up and it turns out they are the illustrations for each exercise.  Here's a couple of examples.   so there you go. The first known exercise records. If you want I'll put up all the illustrations but it's basically just 6 pics like these.

Man all I got by her IS Switched on Bach. Anyways latest pickups from the thrift store are thus: I'm fully expecting 3/4 of these to suck. Something new for the shelf of local folks at least, I can slot it it next to Chuck Mangione. Armand is best known as one of the owners of the House of Guitars store here, btw.

I was going to say the other one was the Shining 7" but it appears that that didn't get a release back in the 80s.petit choux posted:I don't know much about her really.

Although I find the Tron soundtrack to be pretty underwhelming. Sonic Seasonings is a bit different from most of her early work because it wasn't an electronic performance of classical music but it was original compositions.
