The Unblinking Ear Podcast 8/2/12
We've got a new Unblinking Ear Podcast for you with a whole bunch of new music. That's pretty exciting but not quite as exciting as a forthcoming announcement regarding the Unblinking Ear.

The Problem of Leisure...
What to do for pleasure?
Play the Xbox Kinect™, of course.
At this point, it's hardly considered an affront to credibility for a band to have their song in a commercial but has there ever been a more explicitly anti-consumerist song used in an advertisement than this?
I suppose it's plausible that Gang of Four thought it conceptually brilliant/deliciously ironic to match a song that poses the question above to a product which actually aims to definitively answer it. It's equally plausible that they simply couldn't pass on getting cut a check for what I assume is a substantial amount of money.
Now that they've taken this step, one has to wonder if there are other songs in the Gang of Four discography available for use in advertisements.
I Found That Axe Essence Rare?
I Can't Believe It's Not Guns Before Butter?
"I Love a Man in Uniform" for the U.S. Armed Services?

Armalite is still in business, right?
If McDonald's winds up using "Cheeseburger," then... well, I guess I'll go get some McDonald's. After all, they have cool songs in their commercials.
