Julian Velard "Experience The Great Happyfication"

Here's another "I Looked At The Internet Today So You Don't Have To" feature.

We've come a long way from Neil Young's "This Note's For You."

In the last decade, more and more young, credible artists, are turning over their talents to TV commercials.  It's a way for a struggling newcomer to cash a check that allows them to make the next record, buy that new touring van, or just eat something that isn't Ramen Noodles for a change.

Some musicians just license the songs they've previously written.

And others are actually recording things specifically for the spots.

This one goes a step further.

The super-talented and entertaining Julian Velard provides the voice (talking and singing) for the main character, Pete, in this extended Coca-Cola commercial/animated short.
