i listened to an interview with him friday. he's a sourpuss. the dj should have given him a pie in the face but then it was a phone interview and it was some silly college kid.

I just watched this with the sound off. It looks uncannily like it should have been a mid 90s music video.

I’m into the Volvo ad. Long live the jingle.

OK, last night I heard a SECOND one that sounds like him -- not "The Wheels on the Car." What's the song?

Does he live in LA now?

the Volvo ad is really starting to get annoying, morning after morning on CNN.

but there's a second ad

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:52 (eighteen years ago)

Ew. That is repulsive (and I like Merritt).

69 love songs was his waterloo

Also, I am sure I've seen that advert with a different soundtrack (not Merritt) in the UK.

"waterloo," indie insanity

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 27 September 2007 17:21 (eighteen years ago)

"i" was his st helena

― omar little, Thursday, 27 September 2007 17:38 (eighteen years ago)

really, if you watch CNN morning after morning, you deserve what you get.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 28 September 2007 20:00 (eighteen years ago)

hey the link is broken
