211. 13th floor elevator song in a dell ad

grbchv! (gbx), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 03:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh shit, I've seen that ad so many times, and it makes me sad every day. Roommate G doesn't appreciate the crime. :(

APPARENTLY HE DOESN'T HAVE NUGGETS COMP.

ha that "freaked me out" yesterday AM, heard the song coming from the bedroom like whoa "is Roky Erikson a guest on the Today Show?"

mark coleman (lovebug ), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 11:26 (seventeen years ago) link

but I don't really give enough of a shit for it to be a true bummer, hopefully Roky gets some money out of the deal?

i remember how floored i was the first time i saw the vw "pink moon" commercial. i had been playing the pink moon lp earlier that day or the day before and when the commercial came on i got very confused, like "wait, is that coming from the tv?? i don't understand!"

Tho it would've been cooler if the Dell PCs were red; they could've used "Fire Engine" instead.

Oh totally, I never feel like it's about the artists -- of COURSE they deserve to make money from their projects, and need money to live on in this crazy system that we use. It's more the marketing exec who comes up with the tunes that I feel ire toward...or his hipster underling? Whatever, it's all about the "cool" person working there whose job it is to spot happening things and co-opt them.

i know a dude out in portland who licenses music for commercials and he always tries to help out bands he likes first. that's how the ponys wound up in a fucking all-state commercial last spring or how the tyrades wound up being broadcast coast to coast despite only having two 7"s released. not so much co-option as friends helping friends.

whenever i don't have a toothpick i like to use my library card or a crisp dollar bill.


srsly. gross, but effective.

The back of an earing can work, but not for those truly annoying bits that get between teeth -- for those, you need to rip a bit of poly thread out of the cuff of yr shirt (cotton usually isn't strong enough).

Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Once I knew a kid named Yoon Im Porthos. He was Korean/Greek, and had poor self image, and pronounced his own name "Uhnimporto."

You aren't going to get infections unless you somehow jam the post INTO your ear, causing a new, open wound and not into the proper hole. That's just madness, just don't be a spazz and you're fine.

(Note: I have never actually used an earring to clean my teeth; Laurel, that's completely bizarre)

I have dental floss in easy reach at work, ever since I got crowns (HI JB) my teeth have started saving something for later.
