Ok so im guessing people ahve heard them with thier "lets try and be an emo Dntel" syle of music. i was woudnering if people thought thier huge success was gonna be good for electronic music, in the sense that it will get people who dont normally listen to electronic stuff into better eletronic stuff. kinda like the gateway drug of IDM. |

i think they''re good until they open their mouths and start wailing their bollocks emo lyrics . seriously though "their huge success" ?? i didnt think they were that main stream, |

i think that's already started happening. i'd have seen Radiohead as having done that first though tbh. Plus they already had a huge following behind them. They've been far more effective at it. |

they're about to go gold - 500,000 copies is huge for any electronic act. i don't think their popularity is serving as any kind of gateway to more IDMish acts. if anything it's turning more people on to artists like: Le Tigre, Ladytron, Junior Boys, Styrofoam or Lali Puna. Altough predominantly electronic, their success is still based on the tunes being classically structured, catchy-ass pop music. |

It's possible that someone who normally hates or has no idea what electronic music is, will like TPS and then get into some other electronica, but it's highly unlikely if the only thing keeping them there is the emo lyrics. The only thing I don't like about the postal service is how many brainless deuschbags now consider themselves to be all "cutting edge" because they've heard what a synthesizer sounds like for 15 minutes. If anything, their success will only spur similar, but less original and talented acts, that will most likely sell even more copies. 'Tis the way of the pop world. |

all of the above mentioned artists are equally as shitty as the Postal Service... nobody wins... |

i thought dntel did their programming? also, i don't like them. |
||||||||
|

yeah, dntel's the producer/music maker and that gibbard guy just sings. i think they're pretty good, though i prefer dntel's solo work. i think it's nice that dntel has found some success through that collaboration, though i could care less about gibbard's successes. |

i have a friend who likes 'emo' (but thankfully doesnt buy into the lifestyle) and he recommended i listen to them a while back. i thought they where shit, and he was like, ooh look how original these people are, they're really doing something different, and its 'your kind of music' i can't belive you don't like it.winge winge winge,,,,, ]] its just shockingly shit electronica laiden with wingey emo lyrics. get over it. emo is FUNNY because 'emo' is short for emotional, and most of the words are just throwaway and meangingless, or there because they rhyme... FUCKcakes. i like to bake, short cake and bisucuits; n' make jam oh how sad i am. but i'm glad its bitchin' in the kitchen' |

gibbard is also singer/guitarist for Death Cab For Cutie, so i think that contributes to their success. |
