I know that I haven't lost any respect for artists such as Wilco or Kings of Leon for selling their music to commercials. It seems that most radio stations refuse to play a variety of music, they stick with the same few songs/artists and MTV &amp; VH1 are no longer music channels, so what choice do they have. They need a way for their music to be heard, and let's face it, a lot of people watch TV.

You may have noticed more and more bands and artists gracing TV ads with their songs over the last few years, and they’re not just shilling for iPods. There are lots of car ads and other products that seem to be stacking up rocks’ heavy hitters like records in a jukebox.</p> <br class="clear" /><p><a href="http://www.chanvillager.com/community/bakerblog/sound-sellouts-or-savvy">read more</a></p> http://www.chanvillager.com/community/bakerblog/sound-sellouts-or-savvy#comments commercial entertainment music opinion rock television TV Fri, 11 Jan 2008 10:02:07 -0600 BakerBlog 2162 at http://www.chanvillager.com
