Who's Selling Out Now

I've been noticing alot of indie songs in commercials lately. Is it because super cool, good looking, intelligent people listen to indie rock and today's corporatations are trying to cash in on that image? I have to think so. Anyway, here is who is doing it for money:

Chromeo - "Needy Girl" in an advertisement for Reese's cups. Yep, nothing says buy some chocolate and peanut butter better than cheesy 80's synthesizer rock.

Feist - "My Man, My Moon" in a Verizon cell phone commercial. Miss Feist apparently turned down a million dollar offer to use "Mushaboom" in a McDonald's commercial. I guess she had a change of heart and joined the Verizon stable that includes super hip artists like Robin Thicke.

Wilco - Nobody knows how to go bigger than Wilco, as they sold most of their new album to Volkswagon. That's approaching territory only Moby has ever ventured into. Beware Wilco, the last time we heard from Moby he was being smacked down by Eminem, yeah, the Eminem that hasn't been relevant in five years.

Peter, Bjorn and John - The catchy whistling of "Young Folks" has appeared in both the edgy CBS comedy "How I Met Your Mother" (which has also played Islands "Don't Call Me Whitney, Bobby", damn they have a good music guy), a Cingular commercial and a Levi's commercial (***EDIT**** the song in the Levi's commercial is the equally awesome "Up Against The Wall"), which proves, if you're buying, PB&J are selling.
