---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 16 Aug 1998 14:16:17 -0400 From: Samiam <samiam2@ix.netcom.com> ^Currently, TV commercials in America feature much better music than ^what's played on 'progressive' radio. My local stations are full of ^Matchbox 20 and Three Blind Mice (slag intended) -- they all sound the ^same. It's true... I keep hearing bands like Lush or Stereolab wafting from the television during commercial breaks, but I never even turn on the radio anymore because I've given up. (Also the reception is bad in my area, so I don't get the smaller stations.) Have B & S ever showed up on "120 Minutes," to anyone's knowledge? ^ If ^ B&S decide what sort of commercial to have their music played with, I ^ wonder what sort of products they would endorse? I love this question. Some kind of sweet crispy breakfast cereal, maybe? ^If it hasn't been already answered (I'm way behind on Sinister digests), ^the Dream Academy called it quits in '91 after the 'different kind of ^weather' album. Thanks, by the way! jessica m

Speaking of hearing music you love when you least expect it... Has anyone else been startled by the TV ad for Acuvue contact lenses that plays a remix of The Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town"? (This might be airing only in the States.) I haven't heard that song in ages, and it brings back memories... Whatever happened to The Dream Academy, anyway? I lost track of them after the second album. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
