So who ARE that insufferable indie couple in the new Hyundai TV ads?

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.

'when does the sex tape drop' i think is what we are all really wondering

fwiw I find her beauty mark gross

BTW, these jackasses are from SF, not Portland.

dude its a mark of beauty xp

hyundai sex tape

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.

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)

ooh which chain had those ads with christmas tunes over the "bust a move" beat? those worked surprisingly well

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.

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.

What happened to the good old days of commercials during football games being about slightly funny Paul Ruddish bros, and buxom friendly girls, selling us pizza and bear through kinda funny jokes?

the one i'm thinking of might have been part of that campaign

xp

*beer

Although the bear era was wonderful too

they sell bears in the States? you disgusting savages

ah too late

In this thread I found out that you pronounce Hyundai different over there. We say Hi-Und-Eye.

jag you are

you're right, verizon is the culprit. sorry for blaming hyundai and target, and sorry for remembering it being subtle.

love that the new vanguard of "independent music" is basically trying to be a glorified lolcat
