You can't like her, she's a racist.

Hey tweedy haters - the lovely cheryl was cleared in court of any racial boo boos, so knock it out, or she'll knock you out.

Cashley Hole is my current favourite (loose) spoonerism.
It just pips Party Mellow.

Are ads only supposed to have shit music?

Has any band ever gone on to great success after an ad campaign ends?

Dandy Warhols success would be a tipping point in the industry's gradual shift from seeing adverts as bad credibility for their roster to being a new avenue of airplay.
It used to be that advertisers would ask record labels for permission to use music and now it's labels hawking their NEXT BIG THING to advertisers with good product placement.
I'm not too happy with this...there's one Kosheen song I really liked for it's summery psychedelia & now when I hear it I'm reminded of what a wonderful job An Post are doing and why they air-brushed Barrow Street.

yeah but the ads seem to mark the high-point in the bands' popularity, rather than a stepping stone to higher things.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'higher things' especially when preceded by 'the ads seem to mark the high-point in the bands' popularity'.
Generally bands sell more records AFTER the 'airplay' the advert has afforded them.

yeah and what was that dude.. aqualung. I think he did alright as a result of that volkswagon ad or whatever it was.

 

[therealjohnny]

What about that guy beethoven , he did an ad for the British territorial army

didnt do his career any harm

 

[RSJ]

That UK band cable did alright from doing a sprite ad. They were about to be pretty successful when their exmanager sued and subsequently bankrupted them. They'd a great b-side called "The we-did-the-music-for-the-sprite-ad Blues".

 

[Flux]

Jose Gonzalez / The Knife...complete no-hopers until that ad came along, seem to be taking it to a higher level.

 

[Mitchum]

Elliot Smith and Good Will Hunting...er hold on...let's define 'higher things'.

The song on the ad gets played, but it usually precipitates their disappearance.
