From the department of Bizarre Press Releases…
ABSOLUT is proud to announce the launch of ABSOLUT KRAVITZ – a new music project which sees Lenny Kravitz creating an exclusive new track based on his interpretation of the ABSOLUT brand.
No way I am putting this shit in our podcast, but if you’re curious about the former Gap pitchman‘s interpretation of a vodka’s “core values,” download the free MP3 of “Breathe” at absolutkravitz.com.
In fairness, it would be sort of cool if, like rappers, every rocker wrote a song about his favorite brand of booze. Sufjan Stevens would probably write about milk, though.

Lenny Kravitz is a “musical” cartoon character dreamed up by Slash, George Clinton and Rick Rubin in order to milk every stupid rock clihe ever for sell-out cash. He never really existed.
I already hear my song written thanks to Absolut. It’s called, “Damn, Did that happen?” It’s a 8 part R. Kelly-isque opera based on the random and totally regretable events caused by each drink.
The last being a Cale rip off of pure silence.

Doesn’t matter. Lenny Kravitz had a special place in hell reserved for him long ago- sometime between that Gap ad and his “American Woman” cover. This just solidifies his position.
Next, a duet by Pete Doherty and Kate Moss with their ode to Coke. However, not the Coca Cola kind.
Yeah, all we need is a bunch of indie rockers writing songs about how much they love PBR…but in an ironic way.
Upon further consideration, an ode to MD 20/20 would be fantastic. And Elliott Smith’s “Kiwi MD 20/20″ only half counts, as it’s an instrumental.
Kravitz is proud of his alcohol, likes red blooded american women and wears tight pants.
My god, if he wasnt half jewish he could be a country star.
Isaac Brock could do a pitch for GHB dealers.
God. Leave it to that fucker to give vodka a bad name. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for him to advertise creme de menthe or amaretto?
Absolute Krapitz.
He should advertise Jagermeister instead. They’re both overblown and expensive, and imagine all the -meister puns.
Why is he plugging into his nipple? Oh well, who cares he is so fine. Who cares about good music. I would live the rest of my life with Ear plugs permanently in my ears just to be with him.
What a whore.
What’s wrong with milk?
Asshole.
rock songs about alcohol (including specific brands) are pretty well represented. i can think of two off the top of my head:
rev. horton heat — sue jack daniels
tad – jack pepsi
i’m sure you intrepid rock scholars can think of more
