I'm a slave to advertising. What makes it worse is that I'm well aware I'm picking up some dang Cottonelle because it has a foofy dog on it.
Well now marketing geniuses have tapped into my music library, so I'll inevitably be purchasing crappy beer in the near future. In case you missed the ad, The Dodos' standout song "Fools" was featured in a Miller Chill commercial (via Stereogum). Seven bucks, meet drain.
In an interview with Pitchfork, the duo says they've sucked in a vibraphone player and expanded to three members since last year's album The Visiter, and now they're working on a new album, tentatively scheduled for a fall release. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to tend to a beer run.
