"All the car ads these days seem to be taking tracks from Ibiza chillout compilations, which is really tired and says nothing about the brand. We'd actively avoid, say, a UK garage track because you have to go in the opposite direction to the charts." (The Guardian)

UK garage is over-exposed, suggests advertising soundtrack specialist Andy Gulliver (the BBH executive who previously chose Bran Van 3000's Drinking In LA for Rolling Rock beer).

"America has to deal with its museum attitude to jazz. Jazz is the only art form that America has spawned, so it's got to be caged and preserved. Guys are being signed to record Thelonius Monk songs that begin with the letter B." (The Guardian)

Britain's greatest jazzman Courtney Pine suggests American jazz should seek inspiration in the future rather than the past.

"I went up to him and said: Hello, you look nice" (Mix Mag)

Lisa Lashes shares the chat-up line with which she captured the heart of her new 18 year old boyfriend.
