I like that vein of chill sometimes, too. (One song from The Postal Service is used, strangely enough, in ads for UPS.)

Pandora suggested this bad called The Postal Service. I made a channel for it on Pandora and it's good, chill kind of shtein. It's already kept me from lashing out at at least two coworkers.

not Dashboard. He is the front man from Death Cab for Cutie. Ben Gibbard. He's also married to Zooey Deschanel. Nice work by him.

The Postal Service is good. Death Cab for Cutie is listenable. Zoey Daschanel gets the bone. Win. Win. Win.

as long as you don't tell someone "I'm a huge fan of Goblin Cock."  People may think you're talking about something other than music.

Didn't realize we had Postal Service listeners here  :-D


The song from the UPS commercials might be their Iron and Wine cover, but I can't remember. I haven't listened to them in a few years now.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

From their Wiki page:

Quote
The album's most well-known single was "Such Great Heights", which was featured in advertisements for UPS and Kaiser Permanente. The song was covered by Iron and Wine and featured on the soundtrack for the film Garden State, as well as a commercial for M&M's. It was later covered by Amanda Palmer, Ben Folds, Brack Cantrell, Confide, and The Shins.
