So I was just watching something on Hulu when I was treated to a commercial for Google Chrome. The fact that Google has commercials in the first place is something I'm still getting used to. But this one was a double-whammy because it featured the Dan Deacon song "Build Voice":
Just 2 years ago Dan Deacon was just this weird guy with some silly songs on a myspace page. Then he put out an album that wasn't so silly and the indie kids fell all over themselves to praise him. Then followed a few tours, another album, and more praise. And now he's making commercials? Crazy.
For what it's worth, I think the song was well used and the commercial was quite good. Mainly because of the excellent point Google's trying to make, connecting the fight against software bloat to the feeling of a new computer. Oh, and apparently Dan Deacon only accepts commercial deals for products he actually thinks are positive.
