Y'know what's funny? Last month I dreamt that the Homestar Runner crew had partnered with Burger King - in the dream I turned on the TV to find Strongbad shilling Whoppers. I wasn't outraged so much as "WTF"??

Radio is for rap musiks. Commercials are for indie musiks.

Maybe the problem isn't with indie rockers, maybe the problem is with all the former indie-rock zinesters now in middlemanagement at ad firms?

Also, why no talk about Bedouin Soundclash's brilliant "When The Night Hears My Song" appearing in a Zellers ad, and then a month later it is in the top five downloaded songs in Canada?
GOOD FOR BEDOUIN. I love that band (even though they are kind of corny).

You don't have a loft next to Abe Lincoln and Genghis Khan because you can sing and play guitar. This guitar kills 10 months of rent.
