In their latest TV ad Ford appeals to those “who give a damn” about the world around them – in comparison to Cadillac’s story of those who work all the time, just to get more for themselves.
Watch the two ads on Business Insider and see which one appeals to you.
A-Trak & Tommy Trash – Tuna Melt from Pomp&Clout on Vimeo.
From Mental Floss:
For their song “Tuna Melt,” A-Trak and Tommy Trash teamed up with director Ryan Staake and “Kinetic King” Tim Fort to create a video that follows a Rube Goldberg-esque contraption as it self-propels through nearly every room of the The Ohage House, a Victorian mansion in St. Paul, MN.
Super impressive. Not as “grand” as OK Go’s video but just as equally impressive.
IDiddy just ran to the bathroom and said, “Mommy after I take bath – I watch U2.”
They’re learning well.
Whether you’re listening to the driving beat of a Daft Punk song or the opening chords of a mellow Jack Johnson track, both have an effect on your brain that is not seen in any other animal.
When you listen to music, a part of your brain called the nucleus accumbens activates. This triggers the release of the ‘pleasure chemical’ dopamine, that lives in a group of neurons in your brain called the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA).
This pathway in the brain is called the Reward System and Dopamine is strongly associated with it.
Dopamine is the same chemical that gets released when you eat your favorite food or when you get a new follower on Twitter, causing you to want more, more, more.
I think I may tune in…
Rolling Stone Magazine reports:
Jimmy Fallon is starting his new gig off with a bang: U2 will be the talk show host’s first musical guests when he takes over The Tonight Show from Jay Leno next month. Fallon’s music booker, Jonathan Cohen, announced the news on Twitter Sunday evening.
I’m a fan of Fallon to begin with but I’ll actually find it hard to pick between him, Kimmel and Letterman now when I’m up watching the late night talk shows. It was so much easier when I could just watch Fallon and now worry about anything else on. 🙂
It’ll be interesting to see how the competition plays out now and if the late night talk shows still have the staying power they once did (beyond folks like me who often prefer to watch clips online the following day). Either way, Fallon is off to a great start.
Who’s your favorite late night host?
We get to carry each other.
Beautiful.
(U2 and Mary J. Blige)
