Music in Australian GetUp!’s “It’s Time.” commercial

How can you not love this video (if you haven’t seen it yet)? It took me all of five seconds to go searching for the stunning background song.

Let’s Colour Project commercial: Jónsi’s “Go Do”

JĂłnsi recently licensed his song “Go Do” off his stellar solo debut, Go (our review here), for use in a new commercial (Dulux Walls Ad) for the Let’s Colour Project. The Let’s Colour Project is a worldwide initiative for local communities to paint schools, streets, homes, and squares. My words will probably get in […]

New iPhone 3GS commercial: The Boy Least Likely To's "Stringing Up Conkers"

The iProducts pulled a fast one on us this time. For their latest commercial, “On Hold”, they’ve incorporated the typical cutesy pop music we’re used to from Apple ads…but something’s amiss. There are no vocals!! Instead we hear a hand clapping, acoustic, bells-y background courtesy of The Boy Least […]

iPad promo video features Wakey!Wakey!'s "Almost Everything..."

I know I’m a few weeks late, but I only recently stumbled upon the YouTube video so I decided to post this bit of info now. I also didn’t want to let it to go unnoticed because every time I watch the video I think about the music more than the iPad itself. That’s […]

New Radio Shack commercial features Let’s Go Sailing’s “Icicles”

Well, the mainstream is picking up on this a bit late, but better late then never, right? Let’s Go Sailing’s brilliantly sweet The Chaos In Order has been a constant listen since it came out a couple years ago. One of the catchier tracks is “Icicles” (though it’s hard to pick […]

New iPod Nano commercial: Miss Li's "Bourgeois Shangri-La"

You’ve seen the new iPod Nano commercial that shows off its video capability and features another adorable unknown artist (where does Apple find them??). So now you’re wondering what the song is. I know I got a text requesting it yesterday evening. Everybody’s dying to know, you guys! It’s […]

The Worst Things: Evian’s roller skating babies commercial

Dear ad executive,

I know you think CGI babies doing adult-like things is the best, but um no. It’s definitely the worst. Especially this ad that somehow sells water (drink it and you’ll be able to skate like only an infant can??) and is set to the tune of “Rapper’s […]

Sprint Pre commercial: Io Echo

I’m so glad phone companies are finally pretty hip to new music. Sprint’s new ad for their Palm Pre features LA band Io Echo and a lot of fancy features my phone doesn’t have. Because you might be all “what’s that music in the ad? It’s so […]
