Bio
Director of Engineering Salon Media Group, Yes I'm the guy who pulls together the applications on Salon's websites. Often I'm focused, often I'm un-focused, but always with Salon's best interests at heart! If it ain't working it's probably my fault! But don't let that stop you from reporting it anyways :)

Sony commercial that never aired in US

Rate: 0 Flag

This was one of the first Sony Bravia commercials. It never aired in the US, but was filmed locally here in San Francisco. I've got no clue who the band is, but the music is way awesome. If any knows the band, send it to me :)

The music is “Heartbeats”, a song by Swedish band The Knife, performed by José Gonzáles, off his album, “Veneer.” This was actually featured on Video Dog, too: http://www.salon.com/ent/video_dog/ads/2006/03/16/balls/index.html

Due to the way comments are done in People Aggregator, my last comment was just double-posted. This can be avoided by processing form values then redirecting to the appropriate location. Otherwise, the back button is pretty much broken by "Do you want to re-post data" messages....
We should also add a 'Delete comment' button if it is the owner of the blog viewing the list.

You can hear a live version of the original on The Knife's MySpace page -- a different, less dreamy and more '80s-synth vibe, but still cool. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=16339226
