Hello Tomorrow

Still enjoying that Spike Jones/Karen O ADIDAS joint (Chiat/Day, holla). My bad for not blogging it last week. Go here for the full length Squeak E. Clean MP3.

OK, how much did Adidas pay each and every one of you bloggers to write about this bullshit commercial? Was it the shoes?

Woah there "eagle". Take your meds. I thought that commercial was great. Certainly heads and shoulders above yet another Toyotathon commercial.

I could care less about the commercial or the shoes...but that song is so pretty and addictive. I'm just happy to have the whole thing to listen to. Thanks.

I for one love Karen O. Saw them last year at the Glasshouse, even got a facefull of Karen's spit out water (well...maybe that's not all that great... damn, I shouldve gone for a checkup after that...lol)

I, for one, think the commercial is beautiful. Good concept, great song and the special effects are tasteful and not distracting. Great execution. I wonder though how much Spike Jonze had to do with the concept.

Fantastic! Thanks Gum for posting this, for I've been wondering who the song in that commerical was by, (Adidas evilly decides not to print it onscreen). I find the commerical very pretty, with the visuals and audio easily making me believe it's a dream sequence. One of the more watchable, least annoying commercials on air these days...

I'm also a fan of Karen O... she's noticeably getting the Courtney Love treatment from the public, which is annoying. It's image, people.

just a commercial? i dunno, at least millions of people have seen (and enjoyed) this spot as opposed to the three of yinz that have heard my band.

i doubt jonze had anything to do with the concept, but great directing and great song.

Is it me or is this not the full length of the song. I agree with all of the above, just about. This has been one of the best commercials that I've seen in a long time. Concept is great and the fits perfectly. However, that link doesn't display the full lentgh track (well if it's 1 min. long, that's just nuts). I do know that it will be available on iTunes on the 12th of this month.

Look all those hatin' music snobs out there...you're entitled to your opinions but don't be hatin' on me or anyone else because they like the tune or the commercial. You sound like a bunch of jealous frustrated artists...

The commercial is great but I would not have looked at the TV if it weren't for that song. I have been trying to find the full version for weeks!!! You rock! Thanks for the download.

Three phrases should be among the most common in our daily usage. They are: Thank you, I am grateful and I appreciate.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
