Don’t Like These Boys – Toy Soldier Boys
Love forever!! This song is (I know I’m overusing this word…but) AWESOME! #NowPlaying “Twist/Run/Repulsion” by Simple Minds from X5
Apple Advert on MTV 1997
Not seen such a clean copy of this before. Oh, it is such mid 90s advertising drivel! I wonder, if approached, whether they’d ever do aything like this again? And a bit of oneupmanship re: Minds v U2 – Minds advertising/being in bed with Apple looooong before “downloadgate” (re: Songs Of Innocence and the iTunes saga). …
