haha

i thought it was quite cool

if it means you get to make more albums fuck it. It's not selling out, selling out is pretending and acting to be something your not, there just riding on your cool.

I sold my tunes to a japenese ring tone company, guess how much i got last year £50! so rich!!!!!

hey, the ad is good design isn't it? You're making money to (live) create more music, getting new recognition and being associated with a good bit of visual creativity (ok, ok, an advert but so what?)

Ultimately, your integrity will show in YOUR product: music. I'd say you are pretty safe.......

Seen you live twice now, been listening to Smash for months and still loving it. Don't sleep, breathe, shop, eat ---- write more! (please :))

I m interrested with seeing the commercial, is it possible?

As far I m concerned I will use one of your music on my showreel

Great music guy, thank you

Vanessa

well this selfish cunt wouldnae hae discovert jackson if ye hadnae selt it tae the big man ya ken. is noh all bad. the real cunts'll noh notice yer there, the guid cunts'll dance during corrie

dinnae worry

but if its all getting the better o' yer consciense then cheques can be made payable to me at blah blah fuckinblah

fuck em mate! corporations are there to be shafted out of money and you should jump at the chance! as long as you share the ketamine with the teddy its all good!

ps: im counting the days till glade festival!

who cares? I'll still buy yr records.

you should blow the money on dope and do it all again, maybe with arpeggio (which i heard on a tv show over here not so long ago, top gear I think)

Telephone companies suck.

But three dimentional animated flying bubbles look good on your tune.

I think in principle, selling your music to the big corporate players is totally not cool. HOWEVER, I can understand why you did it, poverty is always round the corner and why shouldn't you enjoy the spoils of your hard labour?

It's seem that jiggy-tech electronic music is ubiquitous in automobile and mobile phone advertsing, but outside of that nobody really seems to want to know about it in the UK right now, it's very unfashionable music!

Sell Out!!!

Only way left for you to redeam your soul now is to start peeling potatoes in Hell's kitchen and flaunt it in the name of free love on video...actually come to think of it, I seen you do this on a dodgy DVD I found in a backstreet Manchester shop...

We would have done it too! Any self respecting musician wants to make a living from his work, and to have such a fantastic piece of music representing such a huge technological company is a marriage in the making. O2 have always used forward thinking electronic music for it's advertising campaigns, and I believe that it is the music which sells the product!

Don't worry, enjoy the money which you have been paid! Think of all those hours in front of your machines!

Lots of Love,

EMOTIQUON

You were right.

I think that's not so bad in fact.

If  banal people can hear  your track......

This company can be blessed.

Mobile phones have never sounded so cool!

Stop beating yourself up,  sit back and enjoy the cash!

T'inquiète paupiette!

Souviens-toi de la pub pour le Chanel n°5, avec Estella Warren, qui reprenait l'histoire du Petit Chaperon Rouge. En entendant la musique qui l'accompagnait, on s'est dit "Tiens, on dirait du Danny Elfman, mais c'est PAS du Danny Elfman..." Eh bien figure-toi que, vérification faite, c'était bien du Danny Elfman, qu'ils avaient payé pour s'imiter lui-même. Leurs arguments : "Si vous ne vous imitez pas vous-même, quelqu'un d'autre le fera, et pour beaucoup moins cher..."

Mais t'imagines quelqu'un d'autre que toi pour faire du Jackson? Franchement tu l'as échappé belle... ;) 

i love the tune and think more people will get in to your sound from having it on the ad.

can't say i give a fuck about O2 or cell phones, but at least their ad agency has some fellas that know whats what....

I love it.

I notice that you didn't play it at Glade festival.

but that was cool... because the rest of your set was AMAZING.

but yeah.. its not selling out.. it's just.. um... getting recognition.

well

it's not quiet good to participate to this all advertising world.

but i'm not sure that it's better than being well thinking & nothing else.

j'ai peché j'expie....

but to be totally honest , i think i would accept selling a track for an advertising.

only to have enought money to make music all day...

First I despaired - I thought it would kill my love for the song, but my love has weathered the commercial sodomy. Smash still "sounds like 4 records being played at once" (according to a friend and representative of mainstream music listeners everywhere) and happily will not be the next Play (by Moby, i mean).
(Saw you live at The Social last year, by the way ... it was super duper. Thank you for the music. Keep up the parked-car-and-poster-humping.)
