Music Tuesdays - Trouble Town by Jake Bugg
This song is shared partly in honor of Coachella this weekend and next. Jake Bugg of England will be a performer at Coachella.
Tangent - has a random song ever fit a brand's logo more appropriately than Jake Bugg's song "Lightning Bolt" fits this Gatorade commercial? It's uncanny.
Tangent no. 2 - Also in honor of Coachella next week I'll be highlighting the artists performing there that we here at FIWK have enjoyed over the past year or so. Are there are any artists playing Coachella that you'd be particularly excited to see? Anyone you're surprised is on the bill?
Commercial Throwdown: Small Hands, Smile, FIWK
With a list of featured bloggers longer than the featured rappers list on Lil Jon's Grand Finale, I present to you yet another commercial throwdown. Contributing their finds are our friends Grace from Small Hands, Big Ideas and Lijit and Caitlin aka C-Mac from Smile Like You Mean It.
First, here's what Grace said about her choice:
"This time I chose Evian-Roller Babies Live Young
"This commercial is not only viral in nature (spread like wild fire) but it's simple, invokes humor and is back dropped with Rappers Delight (classic!) Seeing dancing, roller babies jamming out to Rappers Delight is unique, made me laugh, pass it along to all my friends, and sub-consciously I was definitely thinking about Evian water. Mmm. I appreciate viral videos such as this and think that Evian did a great job executing this new "Live Young" campaign, while getting everyone to "talk" about the Dancing Roller Babies."
Aaron submits the following Bud Light commercial:
C-Mac has posted this Wal-Mart commercial as her submission.
And finally, I choose this Geico fiddle commercial from Geico's 'rhetorical questions' commercial series.
So there you have it, the gauntlents have been thrown - now tell us what you like.

Weekend Comedy 12/28
This was taken directly from the commercials that Scott threw down earlier this week... make sure you watch his "auto tune the ads" link, it's fantastic also
Commercial Throwdown - American Express vs Virgin Atlantic
Caitlin of Smile Like You Mean It is championing this commercial from Virgin Atlantic:
You are now free to vote for ours, which is superior. Just like our last throwdown was superior.
Neither is as mind-blowing as the HTC 'You' commercials but ours amused me as much as the Jack in the Box prison commercial, albeit with a different humor style.
Side note: this song, Bach's Prelude to Cello Suite no.1, is amazing and also featured in one of the best moments from the West Wing
