^ Thank you, I-8. I appreciate that.

I'm not knocking on MM, and I apologize for bringing up something that (I didn't realize) was apparently already discussed ad nauseam (the car commercial).

And I also apologize for calling you by that other name.

No sweat. That one was free because you didn't know. I'll spot you a lift sometime in my sweet Nissan.

You better have leather in that Nissan. Modest Mouse didn't sell their souls only to have you get the base model Nissan.

Yes, my name's floated around before. Actually, the last time it happened, someone was angry, too... You know how your mom uses your full name when you're in trouble as a kid? Well, on the Internet, people use your real name. What weirds me out is that this poster remembers it. With that said, I'd generally prefer that people not refer to me as Nick on the board. I much prefer the nickname I've picked up from the word filter.*

Anyway, the reason the analogy fails is because turning your concept album into a stage musical is not even remotely comparable to licensing your song to a car commercial. One of those things happens once every five years or so, the other happens weekly. One of them is awkward and embarrassing, one of them is not.

Or at least, it shouldn't be. This isn't 1999 (or whatever) when it was fashionable to ridicule blink-182 for being "sellouts." I didn't think that people gave a shit anymore. It's become so commonplace that it no longer needs defending, with the possible exception of Against Me! For reason of its routine prevalence alone, it can't be compared to a god damn musical.

*Just in case I'm not being clear: If people insist on calling me by my real name, I'll modify their posts.


so... we're not allowed to call you Nissan Nick?

No, but I definitely see how that could be tempting.

Bulllllllshit. Selling out is still selling out, nothing has changed. You're still taking your piece of art out of its artistic context and selling it. That's still shameful. And nauseating.

Let's go Outback toniiiight...

Oh Jesus here we go again.

I read an interview with chune-Yards where she said that if she hadn't sold a song to...Toyota or something (I don't remember who) that her new album probably wouldn't have been made because she was too strapped for cash not to work.

That's not the same thing as Isaac Brock selling his material to break even after a drug binge. They were already very successful by the time 'Gravity Rides Everything' showed up on a car commercial.

Go ahead and like the band, but it's fucking stupid to defend selling out. It is what it is.

O: Was licensing your songs to commercials a tough decision?

IB: Dr. Garbanzouring out ways to pay the rent isn't really a tough decision. Around the time we did the beer commercial and the shoe commercial, I thought, "Am I compromising my music by doing this?" And I think not. I like keeping the lights on in my house. People who don't have to make their living playing music can bitch about my principles while they spend their parents' money or wash dishes for some asshole. Principles are something that people are a lot better at checking in other people than keeping their own. My rationale behind the beer commercial was, "I like drinking MGD! I like beer probably more than I should, probably more than is healthy." I was hoping I could get a lifetime supply out of the deal, but I guess I'll have to buy it with that big ol' check. (Laughs.)

What the fuck ever. That commercial hit the airwaves within six months of five consecutive sold-out performances in Portland. Dude has/had budgeting and substance abuse problems.

Fuck that. No one has to make their living playing music. That is a choice. And I am not sure why he feels the need to shit on people that don't make their living playing music. There is no shame in washing dishes.
