   I think your rage has confused you.

   I’m not seeing in my comment where I stood up for NASDAQ. But on the other hand, I don’t really care how much THEY lost you, especially when i’m sure it wasn’t “them” really, as a collective.

   I suppose you should just get over it?

   I love of montreal but I DESPISE NASDAQ. they’ve lost me thousands of dollars and how DARE you stick up for them. I hate hipsters. what the do you suppose i do about this situation?

   (i’m adding to my previous comment)
   most people won’t even care who sings the song, only people who truly like their kind of music will care and know that the ad is by of montreal, they arent gonna become the next “maintstream” hit, their music hasn’t changed

   the band just needs money, and some listeners out there who wouldn’t have found them any other way

   although i hate outback’s choice of lyrics on “wraith”, it doesn’t make any sense haha

   i’m a fan of the band
   but i don’t feel that the music fits properly with the action of the commerical,
   however i think its fun when someone asks me who they are if they see it on my ipod and i answer “they are the band from the outback commercial” chances are, they won’t go research them, or care(even though thats what i did, i heard the jingle and immediately found them)
   they need the money

   It’s one thing for a band to let people use their music for commercials, I understand like this but if from The Dead Kennedys or Tay Zonday. Then no, the songs have real political meanings and should be kept like it.

   If Nasdaq offered me a good amount of money to allow the use of my song in a commercial, i’d let them.

   I don’t give a what my indie hipster fans think abou it.

   If you stop listening to a band because other people listen, then you’re listening to music FOR THE WRONG REASONS.

8. boxsocial Said,

   I don’t know why …
   I don’t know why people are so upset over this. These guys deserve to make a living off the great music they write. It’s selfish to want that music to only be available to you & your indie friends. My friends and I have been fans for years, and we’re glad they’re finally getting some dollars from being such a great band. It’s their decision to market themselves.

    I love when they add these fun songs.
    i don’t think it’s meant to be funny with the song, more fun and relaxed…. kind of like what lucybanana needs to be more like.

    you indie are retarded…if you don’t understand that it is just FUNNY to have Of Montreal’s music in random advertisements than you have no sense of humor whatsoever…

    C’mon.

17. Fischerspoonraff Said,

    Get the over …
    Get the over it! It’s not like they belong to some big record company now and even if they did, who cares if one of their songs is featured in a commercial? They have way more songs which I even dare say are better than this. This commercial is forgettable, their songs in general aren’t. If you have such a big problem with them being “sell-outs” then stop listening to them. Oh and stopping the whinnying would be appreciated too.

18. FranklyMisterShankly Said,

    Everyday we …
    Everyday we sell-out baby….
    Sorry, but it’s not like Of Montreal were starving to death. I’m not sure which is more sad, shilling for a bunch of Reaganite bankers or for an upscale McDonalds. It’s not even so much the advertising itself, it’s whom they’re advertising *for.*

    If I had a child and then someone offered me a bunch of money to use a song in an ad, I’d say yes. If it annoyed a bunch of indie dicks in the process, then A all round.
