      when one of your favorite tracks from an album gets used in a commercial.

      There’s a cover of Aerosmith’s Dream On that’s sung by a scandinavian performer in that rich, deep, lush way you expect, and it sounds beautiful.

      It’s the typical “take a rock song and slow it down for a solo” thing they do with every song on those amateur-with-celebrity-judges talent shows, but it sounds actually natural and real instead of this generation’s Aguilaran Vocal Gymnastics. But she only did it for the commercial.

    Ninja Tune records in general is awesome. If you like Mr Scruff, you’d probably like most of the stuff on their label.

    Also, Kid Koala is a turntable genius. Love that guy!

        Also Metronomy, Little Dragon and Amon Tobin. For the aging hipsters in the crowd.

        Al’s I saw Kid Koala a couple times in the mid 2000s including a little bar show that was fucking amazing. We played bingo at the little show. I just found my bingo card a few days ago.
