An excellent use of music in an ad. Also, All Kinds Of Time was featured
in the TC series Scrubs last week. Again, very well placed in terms of the
story line (JD couldn't handle rapid emergency situations) and prominently
featured.
side note: the movie Garden State, written, directed and starring Zach
Braff is well worth seeing. Soundtrack is quite good, also. From imdb:
The only song that does not appear on the soundtrack is "Orange Sky" by
Alexi Murdoch, because the rights had already been sold to the WB to be
used for Fox's _"O.C, The" (2003)_ and its soundtrack. As well as "Love
Will Come Through" by Travis, which was played in the Trailer for the
movie. When Braff sent the script to people, he would also send them a
copy of the songs which would eventually be the soundtrack (which he
handpicked). That is why on the actual soundtrack album, all of the songs
are in the order that they appear in the movie.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2004 - Three weeks after its release, Epic Records'
<http://romanticmovies.about.com/od/gardenstate/a//od/gardenstate/>"GARDEN
STATE" soundtrack continues to bloom, doubling its sales and shooting all
the way to #25 on Billboard's Top 200 and #2 on its Top Soundtracks chart.
As audiences discover the acclaimed Fox Searchlight/Miramax film, its
companion album has become the top-selling CD at Tower Records, Virgin
Megastores and Amazon.com.
Each song on the soundtrack, hand-picked by the film's writer/director/star
Zach Braff ("Scrubs"), plays an integral part in the film, lending depth
and emotion to every scene, character and storyline. "Essentially, I just
made a mix CD of the music that I felt was scoring my late twenties," he
says. "I never imagined that so many people of so many different ages would
respond to the same bands that inspire me. I guess the coolest thing about
the soundtrack's success is that it shows the labels that there's a bona
fide desire for this kind of music. That, and the fact that my
grandmother's driving around Boca Raton cranking Coldplay."
Critics are also connecting with the image-rich soundtrack, which features
an eclectic lineup of Grammy winners (Coldplay), indie darlings (The Shins)
and cultural icons (Simon & Garfunkel). The Washington Post called "Garden
State" "...an excellent primer on today's alt-rock heroes (Coldplay), beat
miners (Zero 7, Thievery Corporation) and somber, sensitive acoustic
strummers (Iron & Wine, Nick Drake)." Entertainment Weekly spotlighted
"GARDEN STATE" on their "Must List," writing, "Coldplay, the Shins, and
Simon & Garfunkel remind us of how much we loved Zach Braff's sweet gem of
a film," and Rolling Stone put it on their "Hot List," saying, "With songs
by the Shins, Remy Zero, and Iron and Wine, this CD is like a mix tape from
a recent ex."
Called "this generation's 'The Graduate'" by Spin, "Garden State" has
grossed more than $11 million since its limited release on July 28th. The
movie expands to 1,000 screens on September 3rd for the Labor Day Weekend.
The film stars Braff as Andrew Largeman, an actor shuffling through life in
a lithium-induced coma. His mother's death inspires a vacation from the
pills and a trip home, where he finds old acquaintances around every
corner. By a twist of fate, he meets Sam (Natalie Portman), a girl who's
everything he isn't. A blast of color, hope and quirks, Sam becomes a
sidekick who refuses to ride in his sidecar. Her warmth and fearlessness
give Large the courage to open his heart to the joy and pain of the
infinite abyss that is life.
The track listing for "Garden State" is as follows:
1. "Don't Panic" - Coldplay
2. "Caring is Creepy" - The Shins
3. "In the Waiting Line" - Zero 7
4. "New Slang" - The Shins
