Have you noticed the latest source to discover cool new music and revisit old gems? Yes, I thought you did - commercials! The trend blew up with Feist's 1234 for Apple's iPod Nano, continued through a thousand (at last count; a moritorium?) using the Black Keys, and the latest is Heineken's use of Love Letter by the fabulous Australian girl group, Clairy Browne & the Bangin' Rackettes. Gone are the days when artists were hammered for selling out, leaving us with just bland little jingles or Muzak in the style of current trends. A new generation of Mad Men (don't you dare go all sexist pig on me) is on the loose. This is a good thing.
