After a Google or two, I quickly discovered <a href=\"http:\/\/joepurdy.com\/\">Joe Purdy<\/a>. Looking up his name in iTunes I found his many songs and albums, but three of the songs were very popular with a high number of downloads. It turns out those three songs have something in common:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can&#8217;t Get It Right Today&#8221; &#8211; KIA Commercial<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;San Jose&#8221; &#8211; TV Show: Gray&#8217;s Anatomy<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wash Away (Reprise)&#8221; &#8211; TV Show: Lost<\/p>\n<p>Amazing what a little exposure on television can do for you.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I discovered I could listen to all of his albums on his website (at least for now) so I put on the headphones and have already listened to three of the albums as I work on Fiveforks Wiki. I&#8217;ll likely buy two or three of these mellow and relaxing albums.<\/p>\n<p>Oh&#8230; and I finally watched the Kia commercial to understand why they chose this song. You go so long between fill-ups you might forget what side the gas tank is on. Pretty funny idea.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: There is no broadcast radio in any of this story.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A song used in a Kia commercial caught my ear last night. &#8220;Guess I can&#8217;t get it right today&#8230;. guess I&#8217;m going to give up.&#8221; It was a simple folksy song with a high, rough voice I had not heard &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveforks.com\/jeb\/2008\/03\/joe_purdy\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveforks.com\/jeb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveforks.com\/jeb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveforks.com\/jeb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveforks.com\/jeb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveforks.com\/jeb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveforks.com\/jeb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveforks.com\/jeb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveforks.com\/jeb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveforks.com\/jeb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
