<div>hey i know some people frown upon this, <br/>and if you're that person i'm sorry but damnit, <br/>you don't own this website! so there! <br/>and now back to our regularly scheduled post.... <br/> <br/>ever since i heard the postal service album (even the dntel stuff) i've been totally inspired with the sound &amp; style of music. <br/>so anyways rather than babble on and on, i make electronic music.. its not great, im just a stupid guy who makes music in his bedroom for the sake of making music.. <br/>but i was interested in getting some postal service fans opinions on some of the new tracks i've put up. <br/>i'm not saying i sound like postal service, i'm just saying i dunno theres a big influence in the music.. especially in the sound.. <br/>the main synth i use, has alot of sounds similar in tone to what was on the postal service album. at least to me.. <br/>ok well i'm shutting up now, my website is <br/>http://www.tonematrix.com <br/>the 3 latest tracks are (katonah, little saints, and the parallel) <br/>any feedback is welcome, even if u want to bash my head in with a brick, its all good.. although i may throw the brick back at u (after i get out of the coma) <br/> <br/>thanks, <br/>eric (eagerly awaiting a new ps album!! get to it guys!)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://thepostalservice.tribe.net">The Postal Service</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>I just got the "Give Up" Vinyl and i must say, it is incredable how they made it. first off it has Red waX and thats awesome. also, the "posters" aka scenes are inside it of such great heights and the discrict sleeps alone tonight, back to back, and i must say they truly put thwe sond into a picture. also the album art work is so cool and they prepaired it in such a cool way! and last but not least, the booklet they put in it is incredable and it is such great quality. i can not beleave how awesoe they made this. if you love The Postal Service and you havea turn table, GET THIS. I was looking for this forever in all of the record shops around me and i could never find it and the one place i do find it in, HOT TOPIC! i couldent beleave it, kinda scary it was there and no where else. and it was only about 18 bucks. GO AND BUY IT! any comments on it from anyone else?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://thepostalservice.tribe.net">The Postal Service</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Maybe this is common knowledge, but I just wanted to bring it to your attention in case someone missed it. Iron &amp; Wine has a cover of Postal Service's "Such Great Heights." It's fantastic. It's super slow and acoustic and very beautiful. <br/> <br/>So... listen to it.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://thepostalservice.tribe.net">The Postal Service</a> - 20 replies </div>

<div>Postal Service does a GREAT job on Nina Simone's "Little Girl Blue" - just beautiful! <br/> <br/>In general this is my favorite Verve Remixed so far: other great mixes by Album Leaf, Brazillian Girls, Junior Boys... <br/> <br/>Overall it moves away from the dominance of house beats in the first two versions, very nice!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://thepostalservice.tribe.net">The Postal Service</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I work at Ikea, who are now officially cooler than my local radio stations. I was working today and they played "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight. I thought that was pretty cool.

<div>During my daily commute, I shamefully listen to the local "alternative" radio station to kill time. It's mostly a lot of catchy, but otherwise worthless tunes like Blink 182, Linkin Park and the like. I recently had a horrifying experience, appropriately on Friday the 13th. I heard the opening tones of "Such Great Heights" and stared at the radio in disbelief, thinking it simply sounded similar. After a few seconds, I could no longer pretend it wasn't happenning. The Postal Service was being played on the radio. Unreal. <br/> <br/>Is this happenning in other areas of the country? </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://thepostalservice.tribe.net">The Postal Service</a> - 15 replies </div>

<div>Some of you may know that the U.S. postal service almost took legal action on the Postal Service for using their name.... here is the outcome (from the New York Times on 4 November)... <br/> <br/>"The outcome was as unusual as the band itself: this week the United States Postal Service - the real one, as in stamps and letters - signed an agreement with Sub Pop granting a free license to use the name in exchange for working to promote using the mail. Future copies of the album and the group's follow-up work will have a notice about the trademark, while the federal Postal Service will sell the band's CD's on its Web site, potentially earning a profit. The band may do some television commercials for the post office. <br/> <br/>The group also agreed to perform at the postmaster general's annual National Executive Conference in Washington on Nov. 17. The attendees might not realize what a rare treat they are in for since the Postal Service does not play many gigs. Mr. Tamborello and Mr. Gibbard are busy with their regular bands: Dntel, with its atmospheric electronic dance music, and Death Cab for Cutie, which has become a college rock favorite for its heartfelt, jangly punk rock known as emo."</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://thepostalservice.tribe.net">The Postal Service</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Fans of The Postal Service and The Notwist, take note. You must hear The Go Find on Morr Music. The Go Find combines the guitar and vocals of indie rocker Dieter Sermeus with the mellow sputtering IDM breaks of Styrofoam. Although, most reviews are comparing them to The Postal Service, I find them to be even more in line with The Notwist’s latest efforts. The Go Find’s 2 most charming pieces from their 10 track full length, Miami, are remixed on a 4 track CDS entitled Over The Edge vs What I Want. These 2 discs are the perfect compliment to The Notwist’s Neon Golden and Different Cars &amp; Trains.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://thepostalservice.tribe.net">The Postal Service</a> - 0 replies </div>
