i didn't see this one coming

a bit of commercial levity

To that end, part of the deal involves the possibility of

Postal Service tunes being used in USPS ad campaigns and promotions. In turn,

Sub Pop is considering, under the auspices of their newly minted licensing deal,

using local postal outlets as distribution points for Give Up. Additionally,

Tamborello and Gibbard will be tapped to play a gig at an annual USPS

conference. No, we are totally not kidding. Stop laughing. If you're somehow

fortunate enough to legitimately attend this conference, or crafty enough to

impersonate one of the 800 senior executives who will be present, please do us a

favor and bootleg that sucker. Surreal events like this one don't happen every

day, and they must be documented for posterity.
