MY mate just got played on Radio 1

By Jo Whiley.

He made the tune on the new Specsavers advert where there is
two people in a swamp. Good, huh?

I hate specsavers, "designer" specs, adverts in general and
that advert in particular. Next time it's on, I'll pay
attention to the music.

How come all the really expensive so-called-designer specs
of today look like those awful ones your dad wore in th 70s?
They're bad. It's almost as if designers are taking the
piss. nah, couldn't be.

Hedrex is the pseudonym he used, since he releases music
under a different name.

It's not available on vinyl yet, though you can download the
entire track for free on the Specsavers website.

Nice one for that.

It's a pretty good track, especially for one used on an
advert. I've listened to it 3/4 times on repeat and enjoyed
it (and that's coming from someone who considers themselves
tired of drum and bass). Please pass my congratulations to
your mate.

Has he got any more tracks online?

Oh, this is the only d&b stuff he's done, the rest is quite
downtempo stuff.

What's his regular artist name? I noticed you said hedrex
wasn't his usual one and there are lots of artists on the
label page.

By a process of IDM deduction I worked out it was Heavy
Deviance, though I may be wrong.

Well done by the way, to Bob's mate.

I want a Grinning Ape track as the soundtrack to an Argos,
Macdonald's or Kwik Fit advert, by the end of the year.
Thank you.

On the subject of adverts (and indeed Argos) I'd love to see
an anti-walmart version of the Asda advert. Instead of the
"backside slap", it could cut between a double slap in the
face of the people who provide them with the produce, the
customers and their staff. The slap could be accompanied by
a dubstep style "slapping snare". Think of it, "That's Asda
price *thwack* *thwack*".

Surely there are enough anti-capitalist multimedia folk out
there to make my dream a reality?

Heavy Deviance, well spotted.

Bearing in mind I haven't seen a UK advert in 3 years but
I'd quite like to see that awful bloke who used to do the
Halifax adverts tackle "What the Beat".

I am made up for Bob's mate, I would love a tune of mine to
be played on the radio.
I hate the advert and the music though.

Oh and Halifax make the most ANNOYING FUCKING ADVERTS IN THE
FUCKING WORLD. They are so smug and conceited I want to
slash the face of every fucking person in them. Seriously,
I hate them to an unnatural level. I've never known 30
seconds of TV to have such an effect on anyone but I can't
help it I just get AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
