ok, former indie rockers are getting jobs at car companies writing ads.

It was only about 8 seconds worth, but still it was from "Stars" - the first time I heard it I was half asleep, I sat up and THOUGHT I saw a Cadillac logo on the screen.. but I didn't have my glasses on so I wasn't sure.

Tonight, it was on again during CSI Miami. Yup.. Cadillac and Hum. I guess I can't blame them, I always thought they deserved a bigger payday than they got.. but still it's weird and kinda creepy, it makes me feel old. I think their last major ad campaign featured Led Zeppelin..

Hopefully some yungins will hear that and go "Damn that rocks" and Google it and buy some Hum albums. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the message of the commercial (When you turn the car on, does it return the favor?), but hey.. what are you gonna do.

That's a good song. Maybe more folks will buy the cd.
I don't think I can afford a Caddy, though.

NBC keeps stacking these other car commercials with an old Clash song, too.

Crap.

Maybe everyone in Hum got an Escalade.

they should've done an ad for Hummer.

Yea, it was a Nissan Ad.. "Pressure Drop" methinks. Then I got that song stuck in my head and realized that "Ball and Chain" by Social D. has the same chord changes. Funny.

I heard a fugazi song on nascar last week... Seriously. It was just a couple of seconds, but it was an excerpt off of place position, I'm 90% sure.

The Who's I Can See For Miles is in a Honda commercial now.
