    A couple more GEICO commercials. This is turning into quite the series! The first is half-length, currently running paired with an edited version of the Gallagher one.





    And an unofficial one:

    There's a new GEICO commercial! A couple of antelopes wth night vision glasses, watching a lion futilely searching for them. "Happier than an antelope wth night vision glasses." Keep 'em coming, guys!

    Here's the latest in this great series, one of my all-time favorites. Well, if I really had a list of favorite commercials series, this would be near if not at the top.



    I understand this ran during the Super Bowl (probably during the first half, and I still have been unable to make myself watch that ... ). I saw it a day or two later. Great series - keep 'em coming!

    I am an avid listener esp to our local NPR station WNYC and for the background music to a spot for the Food Fridays segment of the Leonard Lopate show they use a version of Jethro's Tune -- I think it might be from Back to Back with Tiny Moore. I think if you listen to the recorded intro to the show you can hear the tune.

    There is a new "Nexus" commercial that I think I've seen on the Golf Channel where a group of young folks are carrying instruments (in cases). One is an A style case. No music though.
    Thanks

    Several mandolins of varying quality-any one of which deserves a better player than I am.......

    There's a new GEICO commercial - Paul Revere on a cell phone. Not the best entry in this series, but keep 'em coming!




    The volume is pretty low on that. Try this website.

    And this one. This makes nine so far. Haven't seen it on the tube yet, but it was up on the GEICO channel. You can see them all here.

    How about this one for the new 'Bedloo' app?

    http://youtu.be/T1AIjy8uhLg

    Although I'm not playing mandolin in this spot, I do play the lead poker player in this spoof on a scene from The Godfather. John (Martino) told us that he changed the original line to the one they used, "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli". He's one good fellah, for sure.

    Holy wow! I knew it had been a long time since there was any activity here, but nearly a year?

    Anyway, I've been hearing this out of the corner of my ear for a while now. It's got some of the nicest sounding mandolin of any commercial I've encountered. All I have found about the music is it's called "Ghost of Us" by Lindsay Marcus.

    This series of commercials from CarMax features something mandolinny, though I'm not 100% sure:

    Just happened to see this spot on the tube. Sure enough, good ol' youtube comes through again - in both :30 and :15 versions. Sounds like a bowlback to me.

    I had not seen a commercial by this Italian cheese company until today (still haven't seen its products), though they have been around for a while. And it seems dedicated to using its country's music in them.

    Then there's this. It's incomplete, taken from a parody, which has some bad language at the end, but surely you've seen the original, with the boat's name "Sea Hag" giving Flo some consternation:



    I'll repost it in entirety when the original shows up.

    There's some tasty mandolin in this Capital One spot. It's from a song called "Celeste" by Ezra Vine. Never heard of him/them before. But as always, my ears pricked up when I heard that unmistakable sound pop up out of the blue on my TV. Nice to hear a song being driven by mandolin. Unless, of course, it's a celeste that's being played ...

    Little bit of mandolin in this spot, starting midway through.

    Might be some more in this one; might be ukulele.
