Music being used in ads...

"There's an interesting editorial over at the Guardian about the use of music to sell products...

"It's always sad to see a much-loved song being used in a commercial. When a tune that was associated with a particular time or love affair gets linked instead to a car or a building society or an investment bank, a bit of the music dies with it."

"It's a pretty good read and there is a mention of Jello Biafra and his struggle to keep a Dead Kennedy's tune from being used in a Levi's commercial. Check the article out here.
It's interesting, and I agree that it's always a little sad. One Punknews.org visitor pointed out that apparently, the new iMac commercials are using an Ataris song.
