dont know if you blokes across the pond got it or not, but i just saw a mastercard commercial using "pillow" by capitol k. even had like music video credits in the bottom left corner that said: capitol k "pillow" planet mu records they used non-vocal portions of the song, but what the heck... its cool just to see a great song like this one get some play somehow. very nice. thought some of you might find that cool. |

it is cool. hope we get it here in canada. if not, i get enough us. stations that i should see it. any idea what channel? i love that song, it'd be nice to see it on t.v |

on some national geographic special i was watching today there was some music that was immediately recognisable "IDM", but i couldn't quite place it...unfortunately there were no credits at the end for me to be able to see. *shrugs* but they use all kinds of electronic music in their shows. it's really cool. |

damn shame - another reputation bites the dust |

People have got to eat...provided they keep true to their own sounds and don't try to commericalise it, I have decided I don't have a problem with letting people use a tune for an advert. And as I have said this then the world music surely follow my view in the future :D |
||||||||

|
|
the world must not music...my brain is puddled. :P |

I hate that 'we have to eat' excuse. If he's short of money, why doesn't he go out and get a job? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because being a musician is a job...even the great composers accepted money from kings etc to create symphonies. This is just the modern day version. |

they were commisioned by people, yes. They weren't advertising the commisioner's product. |

i just think it's kinda cool when good stuff gets out there some. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it's cool when the music is taken up by faceless corporations who make their money by financially crippling millions of people. |
||||||||
|

Who do you work for then? |

pillow was being played on radio 1 daytime when it was released thats damn commercial |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
wow. sorry, i'm just not that jaded and cynical. sheesh, what happened to being happy that good music and art got the exposure it deserves? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it deserves more than being whored to crippling corporations. I don't believe that is a cynical attitude - just the reverse in fact. |

my point was more directed at marlowe i dont care who uses what as far as music goes i just listen to peoples music no i wouldnt go out of my way to hear pop but if i like it then it dont matter |

what the hell is wrong with being a musician and getting your shit played? You sellout when you change your styles for $$$$. If McDonalds wants to use a track from a album and you say yes, how the hell is that selling out? It's called cashing in, you've got a sound people might like. Yes typically this is left to the pop kids, but come now, since when is getting your genuine music played a sellout type of action??? |

You're missing the point - as soon as you put your signature on the dotted-line, you are basically condoning that company - you are allowing your music to REPRESENT that company - have you not heard of having principles? They are the ones cashing in, cashing in on your name and your reputation. It is your reputation that changes hands. Would you happily sell your music (if you make it - hypothetical question) to a Credit Card company, or a Bank, say? These are two groups who make their money by trading on people's lives and happiness and financial security, who happily take your money and then hit you with outrageous fines and interest if you miss one payment. Would you really want your name or your creation associated with companies like that? |

why don't you email and ask him, - ck@capitolk.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ask him what? What is there to ask? If it's his music on the Mastercard advert, it's his music. Nothing more needs to be known. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i understand only if it is a company whose practices you vehmently disagree with. Obviously. I disagree with your bank statment, but that is semantics. --------- I see if you don't agree with the company, but if they do fine in yoru eyes, sign on the line and reap the rewards of making music that people like to hear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everyone stop your bickering - who is Capitol K again? And what's Mastercard? :D If it makes anyone feel any better, just replace the word "Mastercard" in tibbar's first post with "Dunkin' Donuts." I'm sure that will solve problems. |

The money you take from that corporation is money they have taken from other people - probably people who can ill-afford it. Plus, whilst their workers, who are the backbone of their business, slave away for shit pay, along comes Mr. Musician and gets a nice fat cheque. Now that is not right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does this mean Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme is evil? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn YOU MARLOWE! DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HELLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I just emailed him - and he knows nothing about the advert, and it was used without his knowledge. He also said he was skint and would follow it up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hope he sues whoever used it without his permission - I hope he didn't sign a contract which gave away such rights. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
