188. Such Great Heights by The Postal Service - a podcast by Tom Kelly and Pat Holmes

:: ::

The Postal Service occupies a very unique corner of the emo-verse of the early 2000s. Such Great Heights was a song that dominated airwaves in the early aughts, and still to this day remains a cult classic for white dudes approaching 30 with music commentary podcasts. The story of how the album came about, controversy surrounding the music video, lawsuits and eventual partnerships with the USPS, music video storyline (or lack thereof), and drama with Apple and Intel are discussed at length, probably too much length, in this week’s episode. Also the EMO button. You super don’t want to miss that.
