i don't know that i ever really considered having music used in a commercial as a sell-out. heck, signing up with a major record label is a bigger sell-out, as far as i’m concerned. (but i like to think of myself as someone who doesn’t dislike a band just because other people start to like them.)

the article is also interesting to me because i happen to like the apples in stereo. i found their music by way of their song on the powerpuff girls soundtrack, from which i bought albums by pretty much every artist. i went on to buy every bis album.

(as far as the apples in stereo go, i have to say i liked their contribution to the soundtrack more than their album. still great stuff, though.)

i finally saw barfly last night. mickey rourke was fantastic -- a really awesome characterization. great style. i expected good things, because charles bukowski is a genius, and i was not disappointed.

i had one of those distraction-free weekend days (not that my weekends are any different from a weekday) where i just got in a groove, this time working on news.php.net. time to fix dinner while the search indexer chews on the larger newsgroups.

of course, in the grand scheme of things, this probably wasn't the project i should have been spending time on. whatever.
