Members NoirAbattoir Posted October 17, 2008 Members Share Posted October 17, 2008 Instead of playing garbage, or some tired crap from 10+ years ago, why not play cool, obscure songs like the ones you hear on car commercials? :confused:Why is it that advertising executives for car companies know what decent music is, but radio directors don't?

Members RoboPimp Posted October 17, 2008 Members Share Posted October 17, 2008 because car commercials are trying to seem "hip" whereas the radio stations are just playing what they're paid to play. try college radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bowlingshirt Posted October 17, 2008 Members Share Posted October 17, 2008 why not play cool, obscure songs like the ones you hear on car commercials? Like when Cadillac played the hell out of that Led Zeppelin song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted October 17, 2008 Members Share Posted October 17, 2008 I remember hearing an Allman Bros "revival" bastardization on a Red Lobster commercial once: "People can you feel it, Lobster everywhere!" I know gregg was the one selling out to that bull{censored}. I'll never forget it and never forgive them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted October 17, 2008 Members Share Posted October 17, 2008 see, selling out your song for a commercial but leaving it 100% intact isn't THAT bad... selling out your song and letting them twist it up into a steaming pile of advertising horse{censored} is just crap.

Members rileykill Posted October 17, 2008 Members Share Posted October 17, 2008 Check out KGSR in Austin. I'm convinced it's the best public radio station in the entire USA. They keep a running playlist online. Take a read. KGSR 107.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HeartfeltDawn Posted October 19, 2008 Members Share Posted October 19, 2008 Grandaddy, Modest Mouse... Who else? Flaming Lips gave 'Do You Realize?' to Mitsubishi and the Walkmen had 'We've Been Had' for the Saturn Ion. 6o3FOXypot0 Devendra Banhart's "Little Yellow Spider" was used for an Orange mobile phone ad. BhHwlIVeflw Martin Gretch is a great example of someone fairly unknown doing an ad, giving Open Heart Zoo to Lexus. Xja7UXSZmps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
