Going commercial
Posted on February 10th, 2008 in Daily Life |
So I’m a sucker for music in commercials. It’s to the point where Sora sees, say, an Apple commercial, and immediately asks if I have downloaded the song yet. If the answer is not “Yes”, it’s usually “Not yet”. I decided to see if I was certifiably over the edge yet, and it turns out that only about 25 songs of mine (out of over 1200) are from commercials. For your voyeuristic pleasure, here is the list with lots of entertaining links. I’ll still be downloading commercial themes, but rest assured, there’s plenty of other crap that I’ll be buying too.
