Somebody at CNN Headline News must be a closet NO-Onliner...

Was watching Headline News for a few minutes late last night (one of those "too tired to sleep" moods I go through whenever I get off work and don't have anything immediately in the morning to do), and as they broke to commercial, the familiar strains of a certain song we all know about Mondays (not rainy day Mondays or manic Mondays, just blue ones) started up over a "tease" about a story concerning online networking ("Friendster", whatever the hell that is ).

Anyway, it was totally by chance I turned it there for that amount of time, but I thought that was awesome.

One of the local sports talk shows round here plays BM regularly as background music for the introduction of the subjects that the hosts will be talking about that day. Don't think most of the meatheads who listen have a clue about what's playing, but there are a few of us who do.

Channel 4 (uk) is using Crystal to advertise a cop show called Without A Trace. The ad is shown nearly every break.

i remeber that on a commercial.....i think it was crytstal or a newer song by them was playing...for cameras

CNN Asia has been using a segment of Crystal (Lee Combs mix) for their advertisments for some time. I heard it several times a day when I lived in Japan.

Sky TV in the UK.

This morning Blue Monday accompanied Captain Scarlet advert.

Crimewatch UK,use a snip from the beach. Americas Most Wanted used an Other Two track And Factory robbed them blind... Conicidence?

CSI had about three minutes of Get The Message last week.

Crystal appears on the soundtrack CD

Not strictly NO, but related, just heard Primal Scream's Come Together on an AT&T advert on the tv.

Get the Message, Your Silent Face.... I gotta be more of an American and zone out on TV more often :D

Oh yes, there's a car ad, I don't remember which, at least in Italy, they're using a cover version of Rock The Shack! :) Well, it seems that using covers made just for the ad is cheaper than using the original song...

Who the hell would want to cover Rock The Shack? (the thought of it brings tears to my eyes).

*I don't think no band "wanted" to cover Rock The Shack. What probably happened is the bloke who made the ad liked the track and thought it would give a sense of energy or something and paid a band to do a cover. There are musicians doing this as their job, they aren't even proper bands, they don't release anything nor play live, they just do music for commercials, and if they're asked to do a cover they'll do it. By the way I like Rock The Shack, it's a good garage rock anthem.

Sky News report yesterday on London Fashion Week. Models walking along the catwalk while Bizarre Love Triangle was playing. Saw the Captain Scarlet one also and I'm sure there was a 3rd instance on tv yesterday but I can't remember what/where it was.

CSI featured quite a bit of crystal sometime after "Get Ready" was realeased. Might be a closet NewOrder-onliner there?
