Good on ya! I’m going to guess you composed or played the music. Am I close?

Nice work. You’re the best thing in the ad.

I guessed you’d done the music because I could tell from my log that you actually are in New Orleans. I see the ad mostly during hockey games up here in Canada, and I thought it was a Canadian ad – and I didn’t expect a Canadian house to go south to film. Is it played on American TV, too?

My main complaint is that the band members are a little too cliche – far too morose at the start (but, hey, their bus is broken) and too giddy at the end. The guy bouncing up and down and clapping like a five-year-old in the quick last shot drives me nuts.

I guess my problelm is that I disagree with the value judgment established in the commercial. It would have been a better ad if the driver had found just some non-Goth regular folks who were depressed because their non-Kia had broken down, and cheered them up.
