Commercial Music
 

Whenever I'm at my computer I usually have my TV set muted or pretty low with a ball game playing. Occasionally though I'll actually take my headphones off for a bit if there's a good show on or something. Sometimes a commercial will come on and I'll hear a song in the background and be like, "Wow, holy crap! That sounds amazing! I wonder what that is."
Then I'll turn back to my computer and look it up on yahoo, and I'll find a pretty cool artist I didn't know about previously.
A couple examples of artists I've learned about just through commercials:

Incredible song. First heard this on I think it was a Honda commercial 4 or maybe 5 years ago. Fell in love with it instantly.


First heard this song on an Ipod commercial a few years back as well. Had never heard of CSS before this.



I can't be the only one who does this ><

I found out about Matt & Kim because of that commercial for I think it was Bacardi? Don't remember but it was the song Daylight.

Can't say I've ever discovered an artist because of a commercial, but that's not to say I've never heard a commercial in which I found the music appealing.

Here is a fine example. I saw/heard this commercial many times when it was new and loved the special effects, the chick, and the music. I never bothered to check who the musician was. Later on, I happened to get into Dabrye and recognized the song while listening to his album.

Related note: I like Muse, but I'm frekkin tired of hearing them in every other commercial nowadays.

I heard Stars by Hum used in a commercial (I forget what for), it's an awesome song though.

A yes great song, it was in a Cadillac commercial.

ok, Do you know the songtitle/band in the new Cadillac commercial?

I found out about Nick Drake via that Volvo ad Pink Moon was used in.Slightly ashamed to admit that.

I haven't watched much TV lately, the one with the Hum song is honestly the last Cadillac commercial I have seen.

There's one with Phoenix's 1901. I thinkt that's the newest one.
