you raise a pretty good point. honestly, i don't see what difference there is here from all of stereogum's favorite bands jumping on the twilight bandwagon for the new moon soundtrack. these are great opportunities for these bands to get out there, to appeal to a larger audience with music that we consider great. you're afraid of losing your indie cred because hot topic's going to start blasting bon iver? what's indie cred? who cares? these guys deserve the attention they're getting.

phoenix isn't going to start making terrible music now that they've garnered commercial appeal. what's creating the commercial appeal for these groups is the part where they're making genuinely great music. and that's a very, very good thing. the more people that listen to this music - the less i hear about lady gaga and taylor swift and miley cyrus and nickelback and everything that's come out of the american idol enterprise save "since u been gone" - the more faith i have in humankind.

and, yeah, i get it. wal-mart?! BOO!!! HISS!! it's not like these guys are shopping at wal-mart or wearing axe body spray. they're just taking their money and thanking their lucky stars.

How come the regulars aren't rating Voyno to the sky for easy but elegant put back? I salute.

Is there any need to be a dick about it? BOTH of them were equally important to music, and besides this isn't a competition and his death had nothing to do with MJ. I like how your idea of showing respect to the dead is by putting down another, and on a post COMPLETELY unrelated to Michael Jackson, no less. You're a class act.

This is so pathetic. Even if Satriani were to win any settlement at all he'll have to turn that over to Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens) who used the same Chord structure as part of his Foreigner Suite in the early seventies. (Who in turn may have to hand it over to someone else.) Bottom line; ther are only a limited number of chord structures that are appealing to the ear. They will get used over and over. No one on this planet is going to confuse Coldplay's song with Satriani's. Maybe if we stop talking about this BS, it will go away.

Hey Stereogum!! Is there any way you can upgrade your photos to something easier to deal with than what's going on now? I think you're worth it.

They're just having a laugh that's all. Don't you remember that this is a fun band? And Freddo why use your precious bandwidth on hating on a band?

The White Stripes are purdy good so... sure. It's funny how people think this type of stuff matters at all. It's all good man.

I think some people may be missing the point.
The point of this for a band like Phoenix is to broaden their fanbase to kids who normally wouldn't hear this band and couldn't give a fuck about indie rock or indie cred.

We can debate this issue as much as you like, but obviously Phoenix want to be a huge huge band. No one signs on for a masturbatory celebration of product placement like this ad is without expecting to gain a hell of a lot. And we're not only talking the short term monetary gain, but in the long term too.
I've been a long time fan but this isn't going to dissuade me from enjoying this band.
Yes it's unfortunate, but it is good to see a band that wants it all, who isn't a shlock rock band, and is using the opportunities given to do just that.
