Damn, shameless promotion is grand…and why shouldn’t it be. Ok, so Ben Gibbard is hitting it…Death Cab for Cutie on the OC(Yeah, I watched and what do you have to say about it…???!!???) , Postal Service in promo spots for (gag, wretch, bleck…can’t bring myself to watching Patrick Dempsey getting it on) Grey’s Anatomy…right on! I say ride that pony! Why shouldn’t indie pop-stars reap what their industry label brethren do?
Hmmmm… do you think there was hidden meaning in Death Cab performing The Sound of Settling on the show??? Nah…why read into it??!!! Some may whine about potential sell-out, but I say rock on! I don’t see anywhere in the bible of indie music that mainstream is forbidden…now, how about Ben Gibbard doing music for Keds’ Mischa Barton ad campaign …but… hey, you know, cool isn’t homogenized. Well, everyone’s got bills to pay!
