Just saw the Norwegian film "Kongen av Bastøy" (The King of Bastøy) for the first time, and what did I hear snippets of several times during the film and at the end credits?



Yes, you heard right! Sigur Ros - Untitled #1 (Vaka).

Similarly, there was a car ad using Gabriel's "Solisbury Hill" a couple of years ago (here in North America...)

I think the show was called "die 2 - nieuwe koeien" or something (means "those 2 - new cows")
(old news is sometimes referred to as old cows in Dutch).

The show was about soccer and they had an item where they made soccer players recite sensitive poetry (about soccer) with shine on you crazy diamond playing in the bacground.

Now that's messed up!
Thanks !! Your topics always so good and informative. I like you talk.

Been hearing Untitled 3 by Sigur Ros on TV a lot lately. Was used in a ton of sports broadcasts the last month or so anyway.

I just saw a commercial for FIFA 2012 with Ice Cream by Battles.


'Atlas' appeared on a Honda commercial awhile back, too. And 'Music for a Nurse' by Oceansize was used by Orange.

I swear i saw it like 6 times last night.

The one with the Kanye West song that samples Schizoid Man, or is there another that actually has the King Crimson song?

Yep, it was for the new Forza racing game.....I couldn't believe it when I saw the commercial - I actually did a 'rewind' on the DVR and watched the commercial a second time to be sure I wasn't having auditory hallucinations.
