Postal Service Recieves Cease-and-Desist Order
In news worthy of the Onion, The Postal Service of recent indie fame has recently received a cease-and-desist order from the U.S. Postal Service. I'm sure the problem was that people were getting confused and going to Sub Pop Record Labels trying to send there mail . Pitchfork's take on it is humorous:
Tamborello notes: "Ben's not around to work on little things like this. It's more just in the spirit of [The Postal Service]. But actually, the U.S. Postal Service sent us a cease-and-desist letter. We're talking to them right now, it's not figured out yet. So all these remixes I've had to do under different names." Ridiculous! I'm sure if it were up to Ashcroft bands like the Dead Kennedys, Bush, Anthrax, the Presidents Of The United States Of America, and classic '80s indie outlet I.R.S. would have to pack it up, too. It just goes to illustrate the misplaced priorities of this administration. I mean, if the federal government sends any band a cease-and-desist letter this year, it should be Staind!
And maybe Creed while they're at it.
