I really appreciated this fan video for Trader Joes. Especially since we recently discovered that the Cambridge Trader Joes, right down the road, has a license for wine and beer. Almost like being back in San Francisco! (almost)
This might seem sad, but I've been waiting for this for a rather long time. MTV has videos available online at MTVMUSIC. Currently advertising seems minimal, but the video selection is also lacking several artists I searched for. I'd happily have appropriate banner ads up if it meant more selection. I'm keeping fingers crossed that they add to the library as time goes on, but with over 25,000 to browse through, there's enough to keep me amused for a while.
I know posts have been lacking lately, but instead of an update on my not so exciting life allow me to divert you with this dated commercial.
This goes to show that the good old days kinda weren't...unless you're the guy with a subservient wife and girls at the office who know how to work a hotplate.
It's interesting to note that this is the SECOND Folger's commercial I've posted on my blog. Someone on their internet marketing team deserves a raise.
Stumbled upon the website for Future Loop Foundation which is currently featuring the upcoming album Memories From a Fading Room.
While I've never encountered anything quite like this, it seemed almost too familiar to be brand new. Maybe I've just been a bit more nostalgic lately than in the past and this whole concept resonated especially strongly for me...or maybe I just wished I'd thought of the idea first.
Mark Barrot has taken family recordings/interviews from the 70's and paired them up with ambient music. Pairing this with old 8mnm family videos edited to the music makes for a rather brilliant experience. Of course, if ambient music makes you itch, I'd give this one a miss. Otherwise, check it out. the sea and the sky
