What's the Deal With -Band X-?

That is truly confusing.

Yeah I know, but he just hates them here. I think he may also only be familiar with their instrumental stuff.
Jackie Blue:
I am really glad this forum has not yet had the "OMG Silver Mt. Zion sold out by letting 20 seconds of a song be used in a commercial for LOST Efrim is such a hypocrite" explosion I've seen on other boards.

I had a conversation about this with my drummer after practice tonight - licensing in general, I mean. My feelings are that my opinion of a band is hardly ever lowered if they license out a song, and that if my opinion of the band were to be lowered it would be because they had their song in a Wal-Mart commercial. However, I feel like I respect a band more if they say, "No, but I can write you a song for your ad." That way the song isn't cheapened and the artist basically just gets to make a buck on commission more than anything else.

Henry Rollins had a blog post about licensing awhile back. Can't seem to find it through a lazy google search, but his argument was roughly this,
A. Iggy Pop licensed "Lust For Life" out to that cruiseline.
B. "Lust For Life" is an awesome song.
C. Iggy Pop got money for this licensing.

dot dot dot Who the fuck cares about licensing.
The guy from Of Montreal had a big huge defensive rant about licensing posted in... Pitchfork, I think? A few months ago. He sounded totally guilty.
Alex C:
See, if I was in a major label band and had the opportunity to make money off licensing, I'd pass on the feeling guilty and acting defensive shit and skip to the part where I show up on TRL and get booed after giving my fans the finger and ranting about how nobody seems to mind hearing the song for free when they're downloading it off teh internets.
