The Postal Service

Some ass just called the postal service techno/electronica.
How do I refute this? Give me a good argument (please)
because I can't argue. I just sit here and yell at the
person and tell them how stupid they are as opposed to being
reasonable and giving them, well, a reason.

Oh. Ha. Uhm yes. They're like...indie. This idiot thinks
that because they have a keyboard they're techno.

THEY'RE NOT TECHNO

(but they are good.)
I'd reccommend "Nothing Better" or "The district sleeps
alone tonight".
They're a bit lyric heavy for me, but I still like them.

postal service = dntel & a band whose name i've forgotten.

they have electronic "blippy" percussion.

they're huge. i don't know how anyone couldn't have heard
them by now..

techno just isn't my thing, that's the main reason i think..

it's not techno

it's like light guitar and emo vocals and very light
percussion. download "the district sleeps tonight", soulseek
will have like 50 billion hits for it.

i've hear two or three songs by Postal Service and they were
all no good. one of them was a video done by Jared Hess the
Napoleon director. yeah i don't understand the popularity
either, and why the mainstream hasn't heard of people like
Digitonal.

shit you listen to"

acoustic and not too rocky

could Postal Service be compared or similar to , let's say,
Ladytron ?

Bright Eyes? 2nd rate elliott smith, in my opinion. Do you
like Elliott Smith?

Ohhh my. You must, at once, download "Between The Bars" by
Elliott Smith. It's an amazing song. I'm an old school indie
girl (at heart, never repeat that) so I know all about that
scene, haha. Listen to Smith once, and you'll forget all
about Bright Eyes.
