Peter Zwegat ftw! (After having been helped out of his debts by Chuck Norris, of course.)

Underworld Sightings
 

Music at the ice rink... I know this song...

I don't get here as often as I used to and couldn't find the old 'sightings' thread. Did I miss it?

[Mod note: Found it!]

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Hah! Found a good one today!

Watching old episodes of Trigger Happy TV - series 2 episode 2 has a "fake" ice-cream van and when an American punter comes to ask for an Orange Disco, the "ice cream man" closes the windows, puts disco lights on and starts raving to Nuxx! :D

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Born Slippy Nuxx came on in a local irish pub last week, I thought I was hearing things because it's usually just classic rock.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Theres one where he is listening to NUXX on the tube turned up stupidly loud.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

What the...I loved that show and watched every episode. How did I miss those spottings? I'll have to find them. Bah, there's only "Best of" stuff available online.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

i was watching one of those crime in Britain type shows voiced by Jamie Theakston which had an Underworld track, and it usually does most weeks, can't for the life of me remember which track but its a staple of this kind a show...

also they played another one during Location Location Location... which i LOL'd about

must remember to note these down when they happen... doh stupid brain - it was a couple of weeks ago, but music selectors on British tv shows generally have pretty good taste when underscoring scenes... UW's music is pretty prevalent in these type of shows...

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Watching tv this eve (the bi-annual charity telethon "Comic Relief" is the main event) I re-tuned from BBC1 to BBC2 and caught a bit of "Rocket Science" - a program which follows an inspirational guy trying to get UK schoolkids interested in science subjects i.e. phyics and chemistry, and a snippet of "Blueski" was played.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Ha, even the the instrumental interludes get coverage. :)
This was sort of an offhand sighting, but I have Rez / Cowgirl going on my computer right now, and a few minutes ago my dad inquired, "What song do you have playing there? That 'doo-doo-doo-dee-doo' one?". I responded in my usual matter-of-fact manner, as if he should know it already, "Oh, that's 'Rez' by Underworld". Expecting a "Oh, sorry. Wrong track. I was thinking of something else...", I instead got, "Oh! I think they used that in an old telephone commercial a while back...". Now, I'm sure you'll all go "oh that's the [blank] ad" anyway, so I'll just come out and ask... what commercial is he talking about?

good morning cockerel most weeks on waterloo road bbc 1.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Few days ago I finally finished translating a chunk off of a book about film. There was a case study on british film and the author used Trainspotting as an example. In that part was a section that outlined the importance of music in contemporary film, its economic spillovers and effects on pop culture. I noticed that they failed to remember one of the very few tracks that really just fit in with the ongoing scene, so in the part where they listed bands that marked the movie I decided to add Underworld next to New Order, Iggy pop and Blur.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Come Dine With Me - ep. 4 of 5 this week. Cups. Lovely. :)

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Thanks to the wonder of the watch again feature, I too have just heard Cups on the slightly daft Come Dine With Me - not a programne I would immediately associate with the techno brilliance of u/w, but there you go. I reckon the most appropiate use of an u/w track was an eppisode of Wish You Were Here (for non-uk dirts it's a travel programne) and the perma tanned Judith Chalmers was experiencing the utter beauty and ruthless efficiency of Japan's bullet train - you'll never guess which u/w track was played ;)

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

I love Come Dine With Me, though they seem to cast utter knobs instead of people thinking they are the mutts nuts at cooking.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Thing In A Book was used in a depressing documentary called Dangerous Love the other night about domestic abuse.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

sorta underworld (-reference) spotting:

Halo 3 has an achievement called "Steppin' Razor" :)

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

and more underworld reference spotting for you designer people out there: Trapcode's After Effects plugin Form has a preset called "River of Bass" :)

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Really? That's surprising- you wouldn't think someone would pull that song out without being a fan.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Just a few minutes ago "Boy Boy Boy" on BBC1's Celebrity Masterchef

Last Page
 

you can see all the pages a visitor looks at when browsing the visitors and clicking the look for the last page and thats the last page they browsed, is that what you mean?

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Standing in a random line at Roskilde Festival, suddently some rock band starts off on "Drive boy, dive boy...".

I literally had to do a double-take when I heard it - and it only really sunk in when the singer started "Shout it, lager lager lager" :D

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Didn't know if I should start a new thread or not for this, but there's a new Palm Pre ad here in the states I saw tonight that uses 'Doot Doot'. Caught me off guard at the random awesomeness.

--Jason

Isn't that freur...
 

... and doot-doot behind one of the adverts in the Palm Pre campaign?

not the Flow commercial with the shaolin dancers (thats m83), but the other one

Re: Isn't that freur...
 

Yeah was completely different than the 'Flow' ad. I'm trying to find a link of it.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

they used 'push (upstairs)' last week...

Re: Isn't that freur...
 

too funny! I bet we were both watching the same cable show??? was it the lead in to the daily show?

I had my post on hold as I tried in vain to locate the ad online. after failing, I hit submit. guess you beat me!

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

I just saw this one tonight and I instantly came here to see if anyone reported it. :) Yeah it was a pretty random, awesome surprise.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

while in line at one of a dozen mobile ovens at the Centennial Park Rib Fest in Toronto, in scorching heat, born slippy was played over their loud speakers.
samralh and i just giggled.
we then ate pulled pork, ribs and chicken.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

This happened before OWB, and I know it doesn't count as a sighting, but I had another UW new-album dream. I was in a back-alley record store in Chicago and saw 2 CD's on the floor under a table, I picked one up and looked at it, I could barely read the artist Underworld on the front cover. It was dark red/orangish and had an extremely faded picture of a rat's face, all that was visible was the eyes, really. The album was named either "Touch" or "Touched." Mike (from UW HQ) came over and I asked if I could look at it, even though I already was, and he said no. But he gave me a promo postcard to play with that was transparent, and had some colored transparent blocks that changed the way things looked when I looked through them. Anyway, there were only about 7 songs and the only names I remember were "New York" and either "Joo-Rin" or "Yoo-Jin"... something like that.

Where does this stuff come from? :o

Re: Isn't that freur...
 

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Nice one. Crap commercial, but nice find.

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Just a few minutes ago, Pearl's Girl on "The One Show" concerning fish farming in Scotland. (For non-UK dirts, The One Show is a weekday magazine tv prog.)

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

not sure if this (or that on the other side) counts ;)

this line is priceless:

Freur was an extremely short-lived and heavily art-damaged UK band most famous for featuring Karl Hyde and Rick Smith
