The X Ambassadors can have their Jeep Renegade commercial, we all know the AMC Gremlin is way cooler, which is why I picked it for my first week of 52 Sellout, my year-long TV commercial music project. If you have a suggestion for a product or commercial you'd like me to try to tackle, leave it in the comments!

The folks at Colorado Buds & Duds want to be your 420 HQ so they put this ad together with jam band music and specials to celebrate everyone’s favorite unofficial holiday!
For this week’s music I put together a jam band kind of groove with a couple of guitars, some bass guitar and drums doing a few tight accents here and there, and then an electric guitar noodling endlessly over the whole thing. It was fun to do a piece that’s a bit longer than the other ones, but at under 3 minutes it’s still WAY too short for the jam band genre.")

Nostalgia is all about misremembering the good and overlooking the bad, like old optimistic ads touting the benefits of asbestos! Or cigarettes! Or lead paint! The marvels of yesteryear!")

People freaked when they remade Ghostbusters with female leads so I really hope they don’t see my recutting of it as a 1980s hour-long drama a la Hill Street Blues.
I originally wrote the music to be a 1980s sit-com theme, sort of like Taxi, but it wound up sounding more appropriate for an 80s-era hour-long drama. For several weeks I didnt know what to do with the music or how to approach doing a spoof of an 80s drama, but as one random, mental connection led to another I wound up here.
I think it turned out pretty well, hope you like it!")

Quayker Hashtags, the breakfast cereal designed to drive social media engagement.
For week 4 of 52 Sellout I needed music that was cheerful yet mellow, earthy yet wholesome, so the sound I settled on was a finger picked acoustic guitar. Enjoy!")

2016 may have been terrible, but the sales tho...jokes about the Cubs, complex opinions, nuance—none of these things will be needed in 2017 so you can get them cheap! Its a Brave New World—of Savings!")
