indie

"Volkswagen’s 2000 Cabrio commercial, featuring Nick Drake’s “Pink Moon,” is often cited as a watershed moment for underground music in advertising."

--Paste Magazine, "Is Indie Dead?"

I remember this commercial clearly. I liked the dreamy song a lot and looked up the lyrics and downloaded the song on Napster (the year 2000 was my golden year on Napster...I made 'Marta's Mix' #1-#24 that summer on my CD burner). I had the CD playing with the Nick Drake song on it and my brother, 10 years older, was impressed. "I didn't get into Nick Drake until college!"
