i wonder about this ad. it was said before that advertisers chose
electronicmusic because of its lack of meaning. then there's this
stereolab song about war and bombshelters. sure it's a nice, quirky song
but do ya think anyone listened to the lyrics before choosing it for the
ad?
i was happy to see this combination for a commercial though: one of my
fave bands and the car i drive (okay maybe not the C70coupe, but close
enough).
