Advert Notes

Idle TV advert spotting.

MFI Sale – music by Suede. ‘She’s In Fashion’, ho ho.

Hotpoint washing machines – music by Stina Nordenstam. Well, it’s actually Vangelis featuring Ms Nordenstam. I suppose even eccentric, reclusive, ethereal Swedish singers have to use washing machines.

Transport For London: Oyster Card. A fast-paced diary entry of a young man’s adventures, with equally speeded-up narration. I’m convinced this is a direct steal from the recent movie ‘The Rules Of Attraction’, where one typically self-centred character recounts his European holiday adventures in a similar montage manner. The movie’s sequence is truly a feat of jaw-dropping editing: months of work compacted into minutes.
