Thank you, commercial jingle

[John N.]

I would like to thank the ad agencies that take the time to hunt down good, yet obscure music to use for their commercial jingles. thanks to this practice, I have discovered new sounds and bands that have added much needed variety to my humble audio collection.

 

       One of the new artists i recently discovered through an add for the show "Justified" was the artist Lissie, and her song "Little Lovin". And what a find. Lissie is a talented young singer/songwriter, somewhere between california guitar pop, and country. The result is neo hippie-ish melody (in a good sense) with lyrics that wouldnt be out of place in a  Waffle House jukebox in middle Georgia (also in a good sense).

 

Glorious!

Thank you Dedita, that was an excellent cover.

that's one way to look at it. On the other hand, they often get much needed exposure from it. If they are a new band, that could be the difference between obscurity and a successful career. Its a shame when good bands or singers fade while trash like The BIEBER continue to get ridiculous amounts of press coverage. That just makes me want to puke blood.

       That said, i also bet that they gain alot more listeners than they lose through being on an ad, at least if they are talented.

I enjoy that when one of these bands gets discovered by an ad agency, they immediate lose all cred.
