J Ralph – One Million Miles Away
Remember? Remember that guy from “Judging Amy”? (Remember when you knew him even less?) Remember how he anxiously drove and drove until he reached the threshold of confusion, embarrassment, financial loss, and a possible beatdown? No..?
Who doesn’t dream of their not-so-special day being ruined? After the first dozen viewings, I was pretty fond of J Ralph’s song.. and the ad, too.
J Ralph is an accidental ad composer with little training but lots of action, or so he claims on NPR. The Illusionary Movements of Geraldine and Nazu is his second release. In 1999, he recorded a slightly less instrumental album, Music to Mauzner By, under the name Spy. “One Million Miles Away” appears on both.
Trivial Observation: What’s up with that shirt that he wore for the NPR interview?
