i'm curious what youtube stars people would find less irritating to see on a commercial?i was not so much irritated but saddened a little to find keyboard cat shilling pistachios with "snookie"
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 3 January 2011 18:29 (thirteen years ago) link
but with Pomplamoose, her harmonies are so amateurish that they only increase the awkwardly precious, off-kilter feel of the music
isn't that on purpose? they're going for a lite(white?;-))-jazz sound. apparently the guy's dad was a jazz pianist

I would actually like these people better if they'd take the logical step of adding a bandmate or two and becoming the New Monkees.

So far, Pomplamoose is still somewhat obscure but has procured a small, yet intense fan base of fellow YouTubers. All it will take is the acknowledgement and approval of the Converse-wearing set and their fame catapult them into ubiquity.

yeah, I can hear some of that (but how u kno so much about insufferable indie guy's family?) in the "Deck the Halls" clip, which is pretty darn slick and normal by their standards. but based on some of their more off-key fuckups, I can't tell if they're shambling indie ingenues or, like, classically-trained professionals playing the part of shambling indie ingenues.

I don't particularly care either way tho. just boredly ilx'ing to myself at the moment.
I wonder though, is elaborate self-harmonizing a common feature in indie-pop, either in 2011 or 1995? it seems like the kind of trick that indie pop kids shy away from because it breaks the illusion of a down-to-earth band laying everything down in one take.

have been hating these commercials all xmas break, tho actually just watched the (seemingly unwatchable) beyonce cover video, and they changed the music enough to where I'm wondering if I'd hate them so much had the commercial just been that cover. I don't know enough about twee to hate it in any articulate way, but I do know I hate that weird look this girl is always giving the camera, and that vibrato style. Obviously she can hold a tune, but it's like she's trying to *not* project, to sound frail or something.
The guy, I didn't much have an opinion on -- to be honest, he seemed really enthusiastic, so I wasn't for sure this was a real band, or just actors.
― Dominique, Monday, 3 January 2011 19:04 (thirteen years ago) link
is it also hyundai that's doing those kind of subtle mashups between pop songs and xmas tunes? like they'll include the riff but won't put in the chorus which would be the normal mode of doing things. (like if you paid for the rights, you'd probably want to hammer it to the audience to get your money's worth, but they didn't do that here)
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 3 January 2011 19:11 (thirteen years ago) link
ooh which chain had those ads with christmas tunes over the "bust a move" beat? those worked surprisingly well
― goole, Monday, 3 January 2011 19:14 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah that might be it! I want to say target, but maybe it didn't work well at all if i can't remember if the gimmick was for target or hyundai.
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 3 January 2011 19:22 (thirteen years ago) link
And while we're talking about other annoying Christmas commercials w/ songs: this Jingle Bells/Our House mash-up was on every other commercial and was driving me crazy.
