The same sort that decided The Kinks weren't good enough at their own song midway thru an ad campaign. (Some may recall a commercial a year or so back where The Kinks original played for awhile in the ad, but then it was inexplicably replaced by some made-for-the-commercial version.)

What would be wrong with "better music" finding it's way into some "kids" lives via some AIRPLAY? Of the ENTIRE,original song,presented the way it was INTENDED by the creators,with it's original meaning intact,as opposed to being perverted and trunctuated to serve the needs of a corporate sales drive?? What is the message that is being sent when Nike uses "Search And Destroy" along with some footage of their products? Something like "IT's survival of the fittest,and >you'll be left behind unless you have our product"?? and >I don't think better music IS being presented to the kids via commercials.I think more effective ADVERTISING is being inflicted on the kids,and whether that does them any good at all is something >I doubt. I doubt anybody here would argue that we'd rather hear the music on the radio. Given the state of commercial radio today, that's virtually impossible. So I would argue that virtually any airing of 'better' music, even on a commercial, is okay. (I'm not going to get into a discussion of individual artist's hypocracy or morals because it depends on the artist, etc. It is weird to hear songs associated with rebellion on tv ads, but then again it can be kind of weird hearing the same song being back announced by a dj!) It's certainly not optimal, but exposure is exposure, even if the corporation only has $$ in mind. Hey, at least they recognize that the music is cool (or that people will think its cool). Even if they don't care about the songs themselves, that's still getting cool music to the people. I think it's okay because while some people might be sitting out there thinking, cool shoes, think I'll buy them, others might say 'cool tune, think I'll find it,' and eventually end up at the same shows we go to... I was amazed today while watching tv to hear "Hombre Secreto" (Secret Agent Man) by the Plugz(?) from Repo Man being used for a black and white Miller commercial. At first I thought it was just my hangover getting funky on me. :) I know that if I didn't already know the tune, I would be searching it out. >I seriously doubt NIKE used "Search And Destroy" as a public service gesture.They did it because their research told them it would give them a "cutting edge" image, which would help them sell more shoes.And shouldn't Pepsi commercials feature only the Spice Girls? Thinking that TV advertising with "quality music" is some sort of advancement,is like thinking that scud missiles would be improved If they landed on you with a quote from Shakespeare >written on the side. But what if the songs use in the commercial leads to airplay, increased interest in the artist, and maybe even a hit? (As has happened in the U.K. with The Clash.) Who knows some kid could hear "Search and Destroy" on a tv commercial and consequently seek out Iggy's stuff and maybe even embrace the songs original intent or meaning even if Iggy has abandoned it and the shoe company doesn't give a shit. Besides, after a SCUD missile hits you (assuming they've improved the accuracy) :) you can't seek out more Shakespeare. At least it's possible to walk away from a commercial thinking, "cool music." (As I have with Timberland's use of Howlin Wolf and some watch company's (?) use of some great old standards.) I know it's settling, but I've given up on commercial radio and MTV (alright, I gave up on that a long long time ago, but it did introduce me to Fishbone, the Violent Femmes, and IRS' the Cutting Edge). Strange but true: I know the guy who drives the car in the "Da Da Da" car ad. We used to teach for the same company, and then he moved west to become an actor....

(favorite lyric: "i'm gonna make him mine tonight, i'm gonna get in his pants tonight and i'm gonna make it right.") AND just so there is some slight surf connection, the only cover on the lp is a totally kick ass version of the beach boys' "drive in." their second album just came out last week and sounds totally different but is also great--think runaways. much more produced, but not in a bad way. it's bands like this that make me realize all over again what great, dangerous rock & roll is all about--the donnas could wipe the floor w/ all of the shit bands on mtv and so-called alternative radio... and they're younger than any of em! they're on tour right now and i'm totally psyched to see them here in austin in a couple of weeks--heck even my girlfriend is excited to see them! rock & roll, baby! joe - -------------------------------------- Date: 2/5/98 2:05 AM To: Joe Emery From: novapup@ix.netcom.com - --------------5F416F4E379F-- ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.
