More indie rock in commercials:
M. Ward- "To Go Home" appears in a Mastercard commercial, kinda lame. But the Mastercard commercial is about baseball, priceless. (****EDIT**** apparently M. Ward is neither performing the song, nor is it his original)
Postal Service- Ok, the Postal Service got in a little dispute with the real postal service, the United States Postal Service that is. Due to similarities in their names the musical Postal Service agreed to let the USPS use some of their songs so they didn't get sued, seemed like a practical solution and "Such Great Heights" was used to sell stamps. Then marketing genius Ben Gibbard (and bandmate Jimmy Tamborello) sold "Such Great Heights" to the USPS natural, unsubsidized rival UPS. Apparently negotiations with Fed-Ex are on going.
