When your band is in a commercial...

I heard about Hem a few years back via a CD ring, and have since purchased more of their music - they're a great mix of traditional sounds and really pretty vocals. The story/legend of the band includes the very talented singer auditioning by singing a lullabye into an answering machine. One of my favorite songs from the album is called "Half Acre".So, when I recently heard one of my favorite songs by a semi-secret artist in a commercial, I had mixed feelings - psyched for them that they were getting some props, but also wondering what happened? Did an agency creative director also stumble across this band and decide to put the music in?Check out the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMwoexR1evoWhat do you think - is it great to hear your secret band in an iPod or car commercial, or is it kind of a drag that the secret is out?
