In the past few years, i have noticed that Madison Avenue has been using tracks from some of my favorite artists to hawk their products. Some call the bands that lend their sounds for big corporations' marketing campaigns "sellouts." i'm not one of those people. i am happy to see these bands rewarded for their years of touring and toiling in virtual obscurity with some cold, hard cash. In many of these cases, the soundtracks for commercials are their first wide national exposure, which leads to greater interest, which in turn leads to more album sales, bigger tours and more cash to make more music. Everybody wins, except for the jealous, whiny "fans." i say, hooray for them. It's the American way. This MixTape is comprised of some of my favorite examples of NeffTunes on TV.Download it here from MediaFire, fine readers and enjoy these catchy nuggets of American capitalism responsibly. And remember to support these artists by buying their albums and going to their shows. And if ya get a chance, congratulate them for cashing in. Word up.

Bonus: The Pizza Hut commercial that never was. In 2002, Ween was commissioned to provide a jingle for Pizza Hut's new "Insider" pizza - the one with a cheese-like substance baked into the crust. Track 21 is what they submitted.
21 - Where'd The Cheese Go? by Ween
Pizza Hut rejected it and told them to try again. Track 22 is what they came up with.
22 - Where'd The Cheese Go? (remix) by Ween
Needless to say, Pizza Hut didn't like the remixed version either. Just another testament to the genius of Ween. :o]

download not working.
:-(
What's the deal, yo?
The download is not working.
????
i just tried it [10/09/07] and it seems okay. Perhaps it was a temporary issue with MediaFire. Anyway, tray again, let me know if it's not working again... Thanks!!
Still not working.
The initial page loads fine, gives the 'click here to download' link, displays the file name and size ... but when I click the link I get a message that reads:
"Oops! File not found. This error has been forwarded to MediaFire's development team."
Your other mixes at media fire load just fine.
This happens in both Firefox and IE.
Very strange.
Do you have an alternate download I could try?
Yes, i agree that is very strange indeed. i tried re-uploading it to MediaFire, but the same thing keeps happening. So i put it on Rapidshare:

Sorry for the difficulties, and thanks for the feedback.
