<title>Comcast Channels the Everly Brothers in New Spot</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><object width="500" height="380"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YgXXS453tUE?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="380" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YgXXS453tUE?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>From the Martin Agency and Tool director <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Geordie-Stephens-profile.html">Geordie Stephens</a></strong> comes a new TV spot for Comcast inspired by the Everly Brothers&#8217; much beloved 1958 hit, &#8220;All I Have to Do is Dream.&#8221; In &#8220;Stream, Stream, Stream,&#8221; TV-addicted men and women hum the chorus for &#8220;All I Have to Do is Dream,&#8221; replacing the word &#8220;dream&#8221; for &#8220;stream&#8221; to emphasize Comcast&#8217;s new Streampix service (see what they did there?). It&#8217;s a nice video depiction of <a href="http://www.theonion.com/articles/report-90-of-waking-hours-spent-staring-at-glowing,2747/">this 2009 article</a> from <em>The Onion</em>.</p>
<p>Outside of the Martin Agency&#8217;s work, those looking for a slightly more &#8220;original&#8221; musical ode to Comcast can bump the new viral hip-hop track &#8220;<a href="http://consumerist.com/2012/03/comcast-techs-get-the-hip-hop-anthem-they-have-long-waited-for.html">Ridin Around and Fixin It</a>,&#8221; a lyrical tribute to the day-to-day duties of a Comcast cable repair person. And, if you prefer something a bit more down-tempo and sensual, there&#8217;s always the slow jam &#8220;I Can Fix Your Cable&#8221; for those late-night candle-lit grind sessions. Music video below and credits after the jump.</p>

<title>Meet John Varvatos: Fashionista, Crate-Digger and Chrysler Driver</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><object style="height: 350px; width: 480px;"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BL6WPP0qK6g?version=3" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BL6WPP0qK6g?version=3" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>Hey, if hip-hop stars and NFL athletes can dig the Chrysler 300, why can&#8217;t fashion designers? Well, at least <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/John-Varvatos-profile.html">John Varvatos</a></strong> seems to. Just like the car itself, the current New York resident is also &#8220;imported from Detroit&#8221; and his rock-influenced style is reflected in this latest spot from W+K Portland (hey, the man is buying an Iggy &amp; the Stooges record and his boutique took over CBGBs if you&#8217;re looking for credentials).</p>
<p>Guess that now that the love letter to the blue-collar world of Detroit has been sent with the Slim Shady Super Bowl (and <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/agencyspy/slim-shady-helps-chrysler-top-brandbowl_b13876" target="_blank">BrandBowl-winning</a>) ad, W+K is just content to let celebs take the wheel and set this campaign in cruise control. But, at least we give props to the agency for enlisting one of our fave directors, <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Mark-Romanek-profile.html">Mark Romanek</a></strong>, to helm this spot. Credits after the jump.</p>
