hai guys i noo owl city before it was popular

[strongbad]

you seriously stop listening to something just because it becomes popular?

I actually still listen to him, but I don't really enjoy it as much. I agree that it's stupid but whatever.

[Veal]

Owl City is not a Postal Service ripoff. That's a huge affront to Postal Service. Does everyone just say that because Postal Service is the only other electronica group they've heard of?

Maybe him and LIGHTS will get married and produce the ultimate in trite electrosynthpop ballads, him sighing out strung together words about nothing just because they rhyme and her kind of whispering into the vocalizer about all the break-ups she never went through.

[Geno]

is that a lol in agreement

but yeah if i were to discourage strongbad from listening to owl city it would be because he sucks, not because he's popular

fuck you

[Geno]

oh and while it's annoying that everybody listens to him now that he was on MTV I still think not listening to him altogether is a little silly.

Yeah I don't get the Postal Service for preteens vibe either, really. If anything, Owl City is an electronic version of Never Shout Never, who Hensa also enjoys and I despise.

lit up the world as a fell asleep

lit up the world as a fell asleep

cause they'd fill the open air

The only Postal Office song that reminds me at all of Owl City is Such Great Heights... Which is one of their more well known songs, so I can only assume that's where the comparison comes from

[the shortest route to the sea]

Postal service, Aubrey.

Postal service.

I refuse to see them as childish and preteeny. It's dreamy, sure, but the music is a lot more mature.

I music group I was in at an arts camp did a version of Such Great Heights...with handbells. It was probably the most beautiful thing I've ever taken part in.
