Ok, first off a disclaimer, I know the Irish bloggosphere has been all over this ages ago, so don't shout "OLD!" at me. Today I got the Jose Gonzalez album 'Veneer' which includes the song featured on the now ubiquitous Sony Bravia TV advert.

I went searching irishblogs.ie for posts regarding the advert or the music and clicked through to the Sony Bravia Advert website through a post Claire made a while ago at Gingerpixel.

Now we've all seen the ad on TV, loved the ad, asked what the music is in the background, and maybe got the album. Some of us may even have been lucky enough to have seen Jose Gonzalez in Whelans a few weeks ago but I can't find any reviews of the gig on any Irish blogs. Can any of you?

Anyhow, my reason for resurrecting this topic isn't the album (I've only listened once so far). It's in case you haven't seen the Extended Version of the advert which runs for a glorious 3 minutes. It's one of the most stirring pieces of film I've seen in a long time. Also there are some nice featurettes there on the making of the advert. Go check it out, even if you have to download Quicktime, it's worth it.
