Chairlift Discusses iPod Ad With NY Times

The band exclaims: *We don't really know how they picked us. They contacted us out of the blue about three days before we were going to play in LA. A man who said he was a representative for Apple said he wanted to see the band perform because the team was thinking of using a Chairlift song for a commercial. We put him on the guest list. We didn't meet him or talk to him or talk to him directly. They're really secretive. They want to keep their new campaigns top secret, so top secret that they are not even letting the band know they are going to be the song on the commercial!* Read the full piece here.

Kimya Dawson Speaks Out About Atlantis Commercial

She shares the following in today's MySpace bulletin: *I guess by now many of you have seen the silly commercial for the Atlantis resort. Sigh. Thanks for the outpouring of concern, but no we were not ripped off. No one is getting sued. I have always been very much against having my music in commercials. My solo music. With The Moldy Peaches it is tricky because it isn't just me. I do say no most of the time, but every once in awhile I have to be willing to compromise and be a group member and not a total control freak. A couple years ago we did that French cell phone commercial with all the soccer balls. This time I agreed to the resort going poor mans Weird Al version of 'Anyone Else But You'. I figured if I am going to be a team player I am going to feel least like beating myself up if the words and voice are not my own. It is just our melody. We were not involved in the rewrite. Anyway, dolphins schmolphins, it's done. I bought my parents a car. So it goes.* Download a Kimya tune at bottom.
