I told you!

Have you seen the version with Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse Of The Heart"? I think it works even better.

King5 totally scooped you by airing this during the news yesterday. In it entirety. I so fucking hate it when national ads get aired as news.

I thought it was a British product, in which case it's not a national ad but an international ad, and therefore, however narrowly, better fodder for local news than the overwhelming majority of the shite they put on the air.

That's tremendous! What a beautiful animal. He's obviously really feelin it. For some reason I was expecting it to turn into an anti-marijuana commercial or something.

I still hold to my theory. That is Peter Gabriel in the suit, since he hates Phil from Genesis days.

Poorly executed borrowed interest. Snnnnnnooooze.

Lazy, lazy advertising written by stoned hipster trust-fund kids with soul patches and signed off on by lame executives looking for the next big YouTube thing.

This is much a better use anyway.

I believe this video may have done history wrong. There should be no cymbals on that drum kit.

Phil Collins came in to help Peter Gabriel with his third solo album (aka "Melt"), doing drum patterns on songs like "Intruder". At the time, PG thought that high-hats and cymbals were a cliche sound in music, so they build a drum kit without either.

IIRC-- somebody feel free to correct me-- that was the drum kit that Collins used to record "In the Air". Also, he used the "gated percussion" technique that was developed for PGIII.

No. 11: Thanks for that link, and mom, thanks for showing me the comedy of Ernie Kovacs so long ago.
