Our regular “Monday Radio Commercial Smackdown” returns next week. At the moment I’m attempting the impossible: preparing to announce PD Grad School<\/a> and to accept registrations for my annual Radio Copywriting Masters Class<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, this video might be a lot cooler than you’ll first think….<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I’ve been a fan of The Bobs<\/a> since their first album. Impossible to describe; “ya gotta be there.” <\/p>\n

I hadn’t seen them in years, then caught them at McCabe’s in Santa Monica a few months ago.<\/p>\n

In addition to their extraordinary songwriting and brilliant vocals, there’s something about their voice arrangements that simply seems to be on my exact inner frequency. (Yeah, I know that sounds New Age-ish.)<\/p>\n

If the first excerpt on the video makes you think “novelty act” or “Oh, they sing songs from our grandparents’ time,” stick around to hear what they do with “White Room.”<\/p>\n

Oh, they also hold an interesting historical footnote: They were dropped from National Public Radio when one of their topical songs offended a powerful Special Interest Group: American bee keepers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
