Adverts are single-handedly ruining music.
Well, not single-handedly exactly, but you know what I mean.
They've propagated the new wave of boring "authentic" music in a twee John Lewis style. Car and mobile phone ads have folky cutesy acoustic bollocks to subliminally convince you that the products are friendly and in no way harm the environment (exhaust gases and coltan exploitation are nothing to do with them).
It's because music is so effective at manipulating mood and emotion, I know, but it makes me resent listening to it.
The Pixies thing should be a crime (Thomas Cook?).
And have you also noticed that for white goods the words 'hundred' and 'pounds' are now removed? ?299 is two-nine-nine, not the costlier-sounding TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE POUNDS!
Manipulative bastards.
