Pitchfork on the VW thing


Recommended Posts

Can you imagine if Volkswagen stuck Glenn Kotche in their Palo Alto research facility? Who knows what he'd do. Maybe he'd write an album. Maybe he'd replace their "you left your lights on" beep. And maybe he'd let his crickets loose in the server room. Hey, it wouldn't be research if you knew what you were looking for, right?

 

this is a funny image for me

off topic, but still kind of funny:

 

I used to drive a VW and the 3 note chime to remind me to put my seat belt on after turning the engine over worked its way, very prominently, into the main riff of one of our last songs.

 

Sadly, they never asked ME to contribute songs for an ad campaign!

I have just seen two of the commercials. They are not bad, for commercials.

I was going to post in Sue's 62 page opus, but seeing as it hadn't been posted in today and was on the second page of the JAF forum, I decided to let sleeping dots dogs sleep.

There's been a for-sale Touareg parked for like a month and a half at our local Dairy Queen. I am not going to buy it.

The band should seriously consider getting a gig poster design that incorperates one of these.

Someone with mad skillz should make that look like the Monkeemobile with Wilco on the side and whatnot.

Just as I am reading this thread with the Yankees-Giants game in the background, on comes the VW commercial with SBS. I think somebody is watching me. :unsure

Let's not pretend there's any more shame in selling your songs to a car company than there is in jumping through all the hoops necessary to get radio play.

Making record for a label=shame

 

Making a record for yourself then selling it=no shame
