Music in a commercial: can't remember the commercial or the artist. Futile! Help?

Can't remember the commercia or the artist, but the song's been in my head. It's just an almost looping bass line, sort of noisy/fuzzy. I _think_ the band/artist had either the word Book or Reading in the name/moniker. Maybe some kind of folksy experimental little band/artist from... the midwest or something? I know, this is totally vague. Any ideas? It was a few years ago.

Response by poster: Ermmm for some reason I'm now convinced it was a Hummer (H2) commercial, set in wintertime. The music was like an acoustic guitar strumming.

Best answer: Is it Read, Eat, Sleep by The Books? Commercial here.

There is a band called The Books. They do a lot of loopy/samply stuff with acoustic instruments and unusual sound sources. According to Wikipedia, they've been in several Hummer ads.

For future reference, Adtunes and its attendant forums are great for this kind of thing (and don't force you to use up your question for the week!)
