New Windows Phone Ad: What if?

Looks like we finally lost 'em." In the background, stacked vocals shimmer. It's Simon and [...]

#39 – What's That Song?

Jan 28, 2011, 11:07am Safety, Fun & Learning
#39 – What's That Song? Here are two very different songs for you. The first is a pretty recent rap song that got some heavy rotation over the summer. When I read that NaS and Damien Marley had put together an album I was tripping. NaS is one of the best East Coast rappers out there, and the fact that he was married to Kelis for two years (one of my favourite R&B/pop singers) only makes him that much cooler. The fact that the guy who wrote Illmatic and the most talented son of Bob Marley were releasing a record together was (literally) music to [...]

Reese's Gears
Filed under: What's That Song? 'Excuses,' the Morning Benders Seemingly fresh from the mind of a very mechanically minded 8-year-old, the jagged ridges of two mechanical Reese's Peanut Butter Cups interlock and gradually mesh as gears. The instrumental opening to the song 'Excuses,' by the Morning Benders , plays as the soundtrack to this marvel of confectionery engineering. The commercial is consistent with other recent Reese's "back to basics" rebrandings (orchestrated by ad agency Arnold Worldwide), which features large yellow [...]

#30 – What's That Song?

Jan 21, 2011, 4:26am Safety, Fun & Learning
#30 – What's That Song? Time for another one of these, methinks. First up is a song that was sampled by Daft Punk,then sampled by Kanye West. And Diplo's got a version on his Decent Work For Decent Pay. And there's almost certainly a 'four on the floor' crappy house remix too. Now I'm not averse to the odd remix (although my sister does accuse me of hating on originals all the time), it just has to make the song into something new. Here's the Daft Punk version, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger [...]

'Go Do,' Jónsi Breaking free of his notoriously anti-commercial band Sigur Rós , lead singer Jón Bor (Jónsi) Birgisson has shown that he's less averse to lending out his songs. And Jónsi went big-time: The Icelandic musician allowed Ford Motor Company to use his 'Go Do' to sell some big ol' SUVs.
