It’s like when one of your favorite tracks from an album gets used in a commercial.

It’s cool but also sucks.

Like when Plastina Mosh’s "Supercombo Electronico" got used in like a Verizon commercial.

Haha, how about when Run The Jewels got picked up for use in Cadillac commercials? Their lyrics are hilarious and subversive, so it’s weird as hell to see it in a bougie car commercial. Killer Mike and El-P have to get paid I guess but it was kind of surreal seeing them become big because I’d been a fan of both independently over 20 years ago. Been listening to El-P’s stuff since the first Cannibal Ox album with KM not too long after that.

Knowing those two, they probably love the irony of a corporation paying money to use RTJ’s anti-capitalistic, transgressive songs in an ad, let alone a brand like Cadillac.

But hey, it’s “ju$t” money

I’d like to think they are smart enough to not be happy about their transgressive ideas being recuperated.

That’s a good point. I’m familiar with the concept, but didn’t realize it had been formalized so distinctly, so I suppose you’re right.

It’s interesting, though, because one would think that’s there’s always going to be a balancing act between wanting to make your message more well known and wanting to keep it unadulterated.

I just love hearing the recent sonic commercials because at the end you can hear the unmistakable voice of Marc Rebillet (Loop Daddy) for a fraction of a second saying “wanna live free” and I get so happy knowing his music wasn’t tarnished by commercialism, but he likely made bank of that 1 second line.

There’s a cover of Aerosmith’s Dream On that’s sung by a scandinavian performer in that rich, deep, lush way you expect, and it sounds beautiful.

It’s the typical “take a rock song and slow it down for a solo” thing they do with every song on those amateur-with-celebrity-judges talent shows, but it sounds actually natural and real instead of this generation’s Aguilaran Vocal Gymnastics. But she only did it for the commercial.

My goto for calibrating my sound systems. First track seems like it was meant for it.

Ninja Tune records in general is awesome. If you like Mr Scruff, you’d probably like most of the stuff on their label.

Also, Kid Koala is a turntable genius. Love that guy!
