now playing: heard it on the tube


i used to always listen to music on the radio (listening to casey kasem's countdown on z100 over the weekend was like a religious ritual),
but now i hardly listen and have no idea what is current and new. 
instead, i rely on npr music, itunes and the tube.
below are a few tunes from commercials we are absolutely in love with.

01 // how i want ya (feat. lara wilson) - j-man (netflix)
02 // if it wasn't for you - various cruelties (zales)
03 // bright whites - kishi bashi (microsoft windows 8)
04 // bring me close - mindy gledhill (fruit of the loom)
05 // walking the dog - fun. (expedia)
06 // fallin' - connie francis (target)
07 // together - kina grannis (disney)
08 // sweet disposition - the temper trap feat. victoria bergsman (diet coke)

do you have any favorite songs you heard on tv? 
please share! would love to grow my music library.
happy weekend! 

xoxo, 
jane

  1. Some of best music I've "discovered" were used in commercials too! These days, I no longer listen to the top charts...too loud and repetitive - a sure sign I'm getting old!

  2. NPR is my music source. I love NPR. I often peruse movie soundtracks, too. They have turned me on to some good music.

  3. oh wow, "bright whites" is in a commercial. it's one of my favorite songs! at a show, he mentioned doing commercial jingles in Japan, but he didn't say anything about windows 8. kishi bashi is definitely up there on my favorite artists list!

  10. I love the song you're playing above, you have excellent taste in music, Jane! I used to listen to Casey Kasem on BJ105, lol now I listen to the repeats of it Sunday Mornings when we're out driving around looking for something to do.

    I find music I like everywhere. One song that stands out that I discovered via a tv commercial is the Dandy Warhols "Shakin", It was the background music for a car add. Do you have a grooveshark acct? I'd love to check out your playlist!!!
