@Thierry: I got a bunch of Beat Happening box sets, Punch Drunk Love-style, from SamGoody.com for 6.99 apiece a number of years ago.

@slowburn: Top 50 worst Aw, c'mon, seriously? This may be The Postal Service for Dummies but it's nowhere near as bad as Three Doors Down or "My Humps."

Only a couple of days ago did I realize that this song and the Death Cab song from the New Moon soundtrack aren’t one and the same. I just figured Ben Gibbard had decided fuck it, if Postal Service is never going to make another album, I’ll just start making Death Cab sound like Postal Service.

Any news on where that 111 Years of Deutsche Grammophon 55-cd box charted in Canada? For those who don’t know, the iTunes store screwed up and was selling it for $9.99 instead of $119.99 from (at least) Friday on, and as the word spread over the Internet, it steadily topped the Canadian iTunes album chart throughout the weekend.

I can not begin to describe how much I dislike this whole album… it is so dull and boring and inoffesive which is the worst trait of all. It is a sad statement on pop music that so many people like something so dull.

@mishaps: Yeah, I was just about to swoop in here and call attention to that line once more, because atrocities should not be ignored or forgotten. But okay, regardless of lyrical transgressions, this thing is stupid catchy. I listened to it once more here, going against my usual reserve of good, life-preserving ideas, and I know in one week I will be lying face down, I will feel my head retrieve cold from the pavement, I will mouth the words, "I'd like to make myself BELIEEEEEVE..."

Yeah, this starts off sounding like a straight-up Postal Service rip-off, and then veers quickly into previously undelved realms of suck.

I’m still traumatized by that first chorus and its rhyme scheme.

While the song may sound derivative, this is an amazingly functional music video. It seeks out your weaknesses for 80s nostalgia and schmaltz, and attacks them with precision .. all while featuring the singer enough to make him semi-recognizable. After watching “Subterranean” and drowning in visual media projects, sometimes videos like these cleanse the palate.

Owl City : Postal Service :: the Knickerbockers : the Beatles (if the Knickerbockers and the Beatles both sucked.)

@urbanator: Dude doesn't look like a Juggalo to me but maybe this is part of the overall ICP master plan.
