Starbucks "Refreshment Hour"
The Drums - Let's Go Surfing

This song has always been a intro to Summer song for me. Starbucks uses only the whistling part of it, but that's more than enough for you to want to hear the rest.

Microsoft Phone Nokia Lumia 928 Commercial
Alt-J - Fitzpleasure

I think this commercial doesn't make much sense. You shouldn't be picking a phone based off of the camera photos in the dark. The song used on the other hand is great. Alt-J have a weird sound to them, I like it but it's a hit or miss with them. This song used is one of their more upbeat songs.

Toyota "Let's Go Places" Commercial
Tim Myers- It's My Life

This is a pretty cool commercial from Toyota with a song that seals the deal.

This song gets the blood pumpin, but check out some of Tim Myers' other stuff. It's a little slower but still worth a listen.

Google Chrome: Jess Time Commercial
Chris & Thomas- Broken Chair

This commercial might make you cry, or feel warm on the inside or both. Google Chrome commercials tend to be very good at doing that. The song has a very similar affect, give it a listen.

T-Mobile Rooftop Samsung Galaxy S III
Oberhofer- o0Oo0Oo

There seems to be a lot of hate on this commercial because the dumb ass people were sending videos of the concert to their friends who were also at the same concert. Makes no sense. That's besides the point, the band playing the show in this commercial are awesome. I saw them preform live yesterday opening for Matt & Kim, they were wild and full of energy. Yes, that's really the name of the song.

Sears Beach Commercial
CHAPPO- Come Home

This commercial was ridiculous, but what really caught my attention was this song. I do not know much about this band, but the tune was very catchy and I'm going to study them up.

FIFA Soundtrack
Imagine Dragons - On Top of the World

FIFA games always have great songs on their soundtracks. Imagine Dragons is a band to watch out for, they are without a doubt going places. They also have this great energy live, which I've experienced first hand.

MTV's Underemployed 'Change the World'
Matt and Kim- Don't Slow Down

My roommates were watching Battle of The Seasons last night, and on one of the commercials for another MTV show that will most likely last 2 seasons, I heard a song I love and know, Don't Slow Down by Matt and Kim. Matt and Kim have amazing energy and upbeat songs, and they are not strangers to the commercial world. The show seems to be about some kids graduating college, entering the real world, and getting trash jobs just to live. Not that creative if you ask me, but the song is worth the mention.

Julia Roberts Perfume Commercial
Venus- Beautiful Day

I can't really pronounce the name of this perfume (La vie est belle?) and I have no idea what it smells like, but suddenly I'm interested in the product. And that's exactly what they wanted. Check out the commercial and the song, both are pretty awesome.
