on tv in korea, "alien" and "perfect world" have both been featured in the network drama series "coffee prince", while "lullaby" features in an advert for "sky" mobile phones and "babies eyes" in an advert for "17" tea. |
| in response to this, pastel music in korea have re-released the 2-cd pack of "coming to terms" plus 4 EPs, with new artwork (see the images page). |
|
|
"lullaby" has been used as the closing music in episode 4 of the first series of "californication", shown on showtime channel in the usa, and on Five in the UK. see the billboard press release. |
| a set of "californication" soundtrack compilations ("trackpacks") are coming out too, as iTunes downloads. (no vinyl here.) if you're OK with US iTunes, listen as arco cosy up to the rolling stones (or maybe the other way round). |
|
|
"alien" appears in the soundtrack of the movie "turning green", and in the soundtrack of "one tree hill" (series 1 ep 15). |
