As I previously mentioned, the Buzzcocks song "What do I get" is being used in a Rav 4 commercial. Now Stiff Little Fingers is getting in on the fun...their song "Gotta get away" is being used in a Playstation game commerical (I think the name of the game was Grand Turismo). It's very interesting to see late 70's British Punk being used for commericals...most importantly...I wonder why? Afaik Punk in that era had little commerical impact ...so it can't be for nostalgia, can it? Robert. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

As someone suggested on the punk77 list a couple of days ago, most likely it simply means that people who grew up on songs like those are now calling certain shots in the advertising industry. Which makes sense ... they'd be around 40. Reminds me of when I name-dropped the Undertones in a criminal courts column in the newspaper about 14 years ago -- no *way* did the readers (or editors -- of whom, of course, I'm now one) have any clue what I was on about.

In another few years we might be hearing This Heat, Dome, and SPK in commercials....
