Courtney Love made a mint off of Cold Case this week. The show was set in 1994, and you know that means that there were no other bands that year other than Nirvana. All of the music was from In Utero (my favorite Nirvana cd). Don’t expect Cold Case music every week - it pains me to admit I watched it even this week.

Get In Utero on iTunes.

Because their last commercial sounded so much like Regina Spektor, they’ve decided to do a commercial with her - and it’s a cool commercial.

Music Box (iTunes) - Regina Spektor

Life inside the music box ain’t easy.
The mallets hit the gears are always turning
and everyone inside the mechanism
is yearning to get out.
And sing another melody completely
So different from the one they’re always singing
I close my eyes and think that I have found me
but then I feel mortality surround me.
I want to sing another melody
so different from the one I always sing
But when I do the dishes
I run the water very very very hot
and then I fill the sink to the top with bubbles of soap
and then I send all the bottle caps I own a float
and its the greatest voyage in the history of plastic
and then I slip my hands in and start to make waves
and then I dip my tongue in and take a taste
it tastes like soap but it doesn’t really taste like soap
and then I lower in my hole mouth in and take a gulp
and start to feel mortality surround me
I close my eyes and think I’ve found me
but life inside the music box ain’t easy
the mallets hit the gears are always turning
and everyone inside the mechanism
is yearning
to get out
and sing another melody completely
is yearning
to get out
is yearning
to get out
is yearning
to get out

Just finished watching the Journeyman pilot - and because of its time shifting theme, they use a lot of music to match the period. Well done, especially the end. I hate adding a serialized drama, but with the Heroes lead in, it might hang around a bit. Some songs from the show.

Sarah McLachlan - Building a Mystery (iTunes)

Oasis - Champagne Supernova (iTunes)

The closing song is Look After You by the Fray.

Look After You (Lyrics)

If I don’t say this now I will surely break
As I’m leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate

Oh, oh,
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I’ll look after you

There now, steady love, so few come and don’t go
Will you won’t you, be the one I’ll always know
When I’m losing my control, the city spins around
You’re the only one who knows, you slow it down

Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my Baby
I’ll look after you
And I’ll look after you

Look After You Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com
If ever there was a doubt
My love she leans into me
This most assuredly counts
She says most assuredly

Oh, oh
Be my baby
I’ll look after you
After You
Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhh

It’s always have and never hold
You’ve begun to feel like home
What’s mine is yours to leave or take
What’s mine is yours to make your own

Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I’ll look after you

You are so beautiful to me (repeat)

Tonight’s episode of The 4400 ended with the great Pixies song Where Is My Mind.

Lyrics to Where is My Mind
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But theres nothing in it
And youll ask yourself

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin

I was swimmin in the carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin to talk to me koi koy

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin ?

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If theres nothing in it
And youll ask yourself

Where is my mind (3x)

Ooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh

This is an oldie but I love it anyway - the Geico Airport Commercial (video below). I love the song enough to use it as guide for the kind of vibe we wanted for our wedding cocktail hour music. The song is Remind Me by Royksopp

The new Apple commercial for the new video iPod Nano (the fat nano) features Feist’s song 1234 from the album The Reminder. She sounds a lot like Bjork.

Lyrics to 1234 by Feist
One Two Three Four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless, long nights
That was what my youth was for

Oh teenage hopes are lying at your door
Left you with nothing
But they want some more

Oh, oh, oh
You’re changing your heart
Oh, oh, oh
You know who you are

Sweetheart, bitter heart
Now I can’t tell you apart
Cozy and cold
Put the horse before the cart

Those teenage hopes
Who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up
To one little lie

Oh, oh, oh
You’re changing your heart
Oh, oh, oh
You know who you are

One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, and ten
Money can’t buy you back the love that you had then
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, and ten
Money can’t buy you back the love that you had then

Oh, oh, oh
You’re changing your heart
Oh, oh, oh
You know who you are
Oh, oh, oh
You’re changing your heart
Oh, oh, oh
You know who you are

The Jeep commercial currently running with a collage of different historical images with Jeeps in the background is using the song Sunshine (Go Away Today) by Jonathan Edwards.

I missed this one in my earlier post about Wilco’s music being used for Volkswagen. The song is called Sky Blue Sky from the album of the same name.
