Those Dancing Days – Those Dancing Days

I generally love Apple ads. They’re bright, colourful, vibrant and ALWAYS feature fun music.

The latest ad for iPod Nano is no exception – with its shoulder-shaking to the soundtrack of Bourgeois Shangri-La by Miss Li – but part of me is a little disappointed that it’s also being used to advertise Blossom Hill. It makes me wonder which came first and whether some poor soul got a slap on the wrist for a licensing error…

There is a (loosely connected) point to this.

Those Dancing Days - Those Dancing Days

Those Dancing Days – Those Dancing Days

I hadn’t heard of this band until I went to see Au Revoir Simone at Proud Galleries earlier this year – 5 pretty Swedish high school girls who didn’t look old enough to be allowed into the venue making happy synth pop.

I have to say, they outshone the main event for me. Vibrant, energetic, happy, smiley, upbeat, dance-worthy pop from a bunch of kids who looked like they were thoroughly enjoying themselves vs. too cool for school (or at least for me!) though clearly talented, aloof desirables playing tap your foot quietly to the beat pop.

I couldn’t help but love them.

This is the lead track from their debut album, In Our Space Hero Suits, released in October ’08 and they’re signed to V2 Music Scandinavia.

The point? I reckon it would be perfect for an Apple ad :p
