Today is Black Friday, the holiest of holy days for mindless consumerism, so what better time for another edition of Commercial Watch ! Like always, I'm featuring all the latest hip, indie tracks that advertisers are using in their never-ending pursuit to get people to buy more stuff. Since the last edition I've found twenty more commercials you can watch below with MP3s / streams of the songs included. Make sure to click the continue reading link to see them all!

We're getting busy here at Bexperimental.com, the team is gradually expanding with mans like Headphonez and IamJeggs joining the blog as authors as well as Phonez and myself collaborating on some music which we hope to bring to both sides of the Atlantic as soon as it's ready. So I don't really have time right now to be self indulgent but despite that I wanted to make a video and remix an interesting track so here it is, I present Lindsay Lohans Revenge 2012, remixed by me with video editing by me, I hope you like it and if [...]
Fun Fun Fun Fest is fast becoming one of MOKB's favorite festivals to attend. Every spring, we make our pilgrimage to SXSW for warmer weather, music, and tacos. Slowly, FFFF has become our fall equivalent to bookend our summers. The festival offers so much entertainment with in a relatively small area at Auditorium Shores and you never feel like you are crowded because of excellent scheduling of the stages and artists by the fine folks at Transmission Entertainment. This boutique style festival is a nice alternative to the large festivals that tend to [...]
I've been to a whole bunch of festivals in my time, but at 28, my time might be coming to an end. Creaky knees, pale skin and general grumpiness have lead me to start turning down festival invites in the hope that my favorite bands will be playing a sideshow. But Harvest Presents is different. "Harvest is not a festival, it's a feeling." Held for the first time last year in Melbourne, Brisbane and (my home town of) Sydney, the festival was one of the best musical days of my life. Even before the bands were [...]
We've always had one hell of a time at Fun Fest every year, and we always have some fun after the festival discussing our take on each day's events. This year, we're letting each one of our writers provide their own take on the weekend with a personal recap of the goings ons so as to not compromise or impose on any one writer's opinions. I'll be starting things off today with some random thoughts and favorite bands from the best festival in town. Follow the jump for more from me. [...]

Sphongle After an electric night one of Moogfest we were eager for Saturday's festivities. With the first artists hitting the stage around 7PM we had ample time to enjoy all that Asheville had to offer. We had two goals for our time around town. First: sample the local craft beer and second: visit the Moog Factory. [...]
"You're that special someone that makes me wanna give it" echoes through Duke Dumont 's latest anthem, "The Giver;" a passionate take on vocal house backed by echoing clicks, aggressive kicks and synth-lines that are meant to be heard over a great system. The track especially picks up toward the 4 min mark, where pitched-up vocals rotate over a rising bassline before the beat returns to hammer out the final portion of the song. "The Giver" is featured on the split EP, For Club Play Only Vol. 2 , out now [...]

Trevor "Trouble" Andrew lives a life at 31 most guys would envy at any age: He's a professional snowboarder turned musician who now finds himself on tour with Yelawolf, and he gets to design product
Last weekend Virgin Mobile landed at the Merriweather Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland for FreeFest. A Virgin media themed festival coined for it's outgoing charity initiatives through the celebration of live music, dance, culture... and yes, ferris wheels! At a time where people are in the midst of habub about Sir Richard Branson's Galactica space venture and the retired Endeavor space shuttle basically stopping the presses (btw the irony of people adoring a space shuttle from a program that basically died because it has lost support... is beyond us), EDM pioneer Srillex took it upon himself to launch [...]
Virgin Free Fest is a beautiful thing. For those of you who don’t know it, it’s an annual music celebration put on by Virgin Mobile that combines three stages (the Pavilion Stage, the West Stage, and the Dance Forest) and dozens of awesome bands. It basically combines six loves of my life: free things; music; dance forests; boardwalk fries; people watching; and natural light. A few highlights I’d like to mention (but not expand on): 1. Santigold is amazing, as are her back-up dancers; 2. Ben Folds Five and Alabama Shakes: solid sound; 3. Youth [...]
Writer takes Santigold's "Disparate Youth" through the meat grinder, and the result is fuzzy, lo-fi, and delicious.
P&P has been known to show Lykke Li all kinds of love. She deserves it. Aside from being a talented artist, her personality is cool as fuck. Her love for hip-hop has been brought up in countless interviews, and it's when she combines that love with her talents that you get some really interesting results, many of which occur during her live performances. And while we don't have footage from the above performance between Q-Tip and Lykke Li at the 2008 mtvU Woodies , we have assembled some classic clips that we're filing under "Lykke Li meets [...]
We've hooked up with The FADER and vitaminwater to give away two autographed, limited edition concert posters from their uncapped concert series –– 1 from 2 Chainz and Passion Pit 's show in Seattle, and 1 from Wale and Santigold 's show in Chicago. They're also being really cool and throwing in an uncapped tour t-shirt. [...]

Were loving this filthy new take on "Disparate Youth" by 'ghettotech' garage rockers WRITER. The Brooklyn, NY based duo are pretty shameless in their interpretation of the rhythmic hit, exploring scuffed layers and distortion beyond recognition set to a nicely juxtaposed mid-tempo stroll and relaxed vocal. Sample the track below and besure to check out the band's new LP titled Brotherface available October 30 via 3 Syllables. WRITER - Disparate Youth (Santigold Cover) WRITER ( Bandcamp ) [...]

Here's a throwback jam for you in celebration of The Knocks concerto tomorrow night, in LA at the El Rey Theatre on Wilshire !!!! How many people have to go change their shorts after hearing that amazing news? I know, I know. Almost too much to bare. Originally this track, The Keepers , is by Santigold , otherwise known by the name her momma gave her, Santi White . How it went from White to Gold , only God knows. That conversation may be for a later date, but for a [...]
