i believe the story goes something like this: The band took the name because they used UPS to ship their tapes back and forth across the country (they made "Give Up" via mail).  UPS saw that they adopted the name "The Postal Service" and threatened to sue.  However, a deal was reached that the band could keep the name as long as UPS could use songs for promotional material.

I do like that Stars commercial.
 
 Of course, other than going to Outback when in The OC, I haven't purcahsed a single product mentioned.

not really that indie, but still surprising nonetheless, would be the kohl's ad with like 30 seconds or more of a ben lee song. it's long...

So what I'm understanding is that indie is the new sell out?
 
 James, 'Born of frustration' was used for a hotel chain commercial a couple of years ago.
 
 I went out and bought the Nike Drake album after that VW ad featured Pink Moon but was disapointed with the rest of the album.
