As an advertising professional, I ask you...do hipsters care about deck protection? Do Pamplamoose fans understand the damage water can do to an unprotected deck?

i think the ads are totally stupid btw, mostly because as mentioned they were airing this shit during the height of football season when normally the ads are all about how you're a homosexual with euro tendencies and mommy issues if you don't drink bud lite, or howie long calling you a pussy for not having the right kind of truck./― omar little, Tuesday, January 4, 2011 11:06 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark

like fucking poignant commercials for insurance companies, the whole thing isn't bad cuz it cheapens indie rock, it's bad cuz it ad agencies are so hip and cool and good production values now, it almost cheapens the *idea* of emotions and feeling....
Not sure much has changed since Don Draper days.

I feel like I have read somewhere a philosopher or sociologist saying the same basic thing but way pre-indie-music -- in fact I think he said that irony and cynicism were reactions to this cheapening by advertising, although now irony and cynicism are a huge part of advertising.

kind of surprising to think we're over half a decade removed from iron & wine being used in m&m commercials, also this is at least four years old:

the only thing pomplamoose can do now is some kind of double reverse fakeout sort of thing and put this thread in their electronic press kit; kind of like how Robert Fripp would put all those years of accumulated bad reviews in the liner notes of Crimson anthologies.

xp to Hurting 2:
TV cheapening life was like 50 percent of the humor of Laugh-In and early SNL, and of course a big part of punk. The main difference between the gag reflex here and the one greeting "This car is like punk rock" in '92 or the Minutemen Volvo ad in '00 is there isn't so much any objection (at least that I've seen on this thread) to bands whoring for automobiles, or even bands whoring for automobiles with an aesthetic rooted in an anti-corporate ethos (which was a shock for me as recently as a decade ago, but became less so as Low appeared in Target commercials, etc.). The objection seems to be to bands whoring for automobiles with an aesthetic rooted in an anti-corporate ethos when:1.) the band is bad, putting the worst face on the aesthetic or highlighting its abuses, or2.) the aesthetic is no longer "cool" because it's everywhere, embraced by people with jobs and kids, or3.) some masochistic combination of the two where you see an aesthetic both being ruined and further ruining the culture.
― Pete Scholtes, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:21 (thirteen years ago) link
i think the objection when applied to a beloved band like hum is that the commercial isn't flattering to them, rather than a cry of sellout but there is still an objection. if movies have the power to uplift songs than certainly commercials have the power to ruin them.
― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:26 (thirteen years ago) link
er then i mean. not that movies don't uplift songs more than commercials most of the time (c.f. every use of "walking on sunshine" in movies versus commercials)
― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:28 (thirteen years ago) link
embraced by people with jobs and kids
Yes, god forbid those absolutely awful people with jobs and kids like music. Fuck them.
