Those cool folks over at the 9:30 Club knew I wouldn’t be able to hold this SECRET in for very long… so here it is:
THE HIVES ARE COMING!!!!
Mark your calendars now: Tuesday, June 19th, The Hives will storm the 9:30 Club stage in all their Swedish, well-coiffed, garage rockin’ glory. Tickets go one sale this Friday at 10AM, but we’ve got a ONE PAIR for a very, very lucky person up for grabs before you can even whip out your AMEX to buy ‘em.
So you wanna win? Well remember that highly banned (and much talked about) Kylie Minogue commercial for Agent Provocateur that featured “Main Offender”? Well, go on and tell us all the scandalous details of what song you’d want blasting in the background while you film your very own BANNED commercial for your favorite brand. We promise we’ll feign surprise when it goes viral.
(Winner will be selected before tickets go on sale @ 10AM Friday, April 27th)
this is just too easy. Howlin’ Wolf’s “Back Door Man” for Astroglide.
Lykke Li – Get Some
LCD Soundsystem’s “Movement” for a DFA Record Promo.
Better with the Lights Off, New Boys Ft. Chris Brown for Energy Star Light Bulbs
The Coup – My favorite mutiny
“Hate to say I told you so”…. any insurance company…
The Song: “When The Lights Go Out” by The Black Keys
The Product: Clarks desert boots
The Commercial: Close up of the boots on a hardwood floor, shaking. Slowly pan back, revealing several articles of clothing strewn about (mostly because I love using the phrase “strewn about”). Pan further to reveal the bed (but below the top of the mattress, because we got to keep this YouTube friendly) moving across the room in rhythm.
Tagline: Clarks Boots, there for your walk home.
Grinderman – “Worm Tamer” for a sultry lipstick commercial
“Night Moves” by Bob Seger… http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/ac348/trollfells/BobSegerNightMovesCoverAnimation.gif
Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” for Preperation H
You sure about that date? According to Pollstar the Hives are playing 9:30 Tuesday June 19.
My bad — so excited I mixed it up with the 6/20 Modest Mouse show!
“Fuck the Pain Away” by Peaches, for an aspirin commercial
Ad: “When fucking just isn’t enough, try Tylenol!”
Ian Dury and the Blockheads’ “Wake Up And Make Love With Me” would make a great soundtrack for a Viagra or Cialis commercial.
queens of the stone age- make it wit chu
Lily Allen’s “Not Fair” for a ribbed condom commercial, the ad writes itself from there (or is that too easy?)
Otherwise, if it’s just going to be a sexy commercial with somebody stripping or having sex or something I would probably play SBTRKT’s “Wildfire.”
“Make Me Wanna Die” by the Pretty Reckless in the background of a commercial for the Metro system. It’s getting so bad, I’d almost rather die than ride it!
Fugazi’s Waiting Room for the MVA.
“Four Engines Burning Over the USA” by Screaming Blue Messiahs for American Airlines.
