Commericals-featuring-indie-music watch: Heard the National's "Secret Meeting" on a Saturn Hybrid SUV commercial.

In other news, I checked out the new Thermals album, The Body, the Blood, the Machine, in its entirety last night. I consider myself a Thermals fan, but admit their music has never had that much depth. This album is far more developed musically than the last, and I haven't taken the time to listen carefully to the political message of the songs. I'd definitely say it's their best album, but I'm still not sure it's got a whole lot of staying power- as in, will I still be listening to it five years from now?
