By now most everyone has seen the Outback Steakhouse commercial that Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal wrote that "Let's Go Outback Tonight" song for. Today I saw another commercial featuring a Kevin Barnes song . . . for NASDAQ. Seriously, car commercials have always been sort of hip, but what does it mean when companies like GEICO and NASDAQ start co-opting my musical tastes? Or are my musical tastes just maturing at the same rate I am? (I was, after all, willingly watching CNBC).

That guy should write a theme song for Maria Bartiromo
