What can I possibly say about selling a gold record awarded to the Postal Service for Give Up that Jed Maheu can’t say better himself?
As you can see this record was awarded to me for my help in selling 500,000 copies of the album. I did the math on it and figured out that I’m responsible for 24,871 copies sold. I’m gonna be fair here and say that Sub Pop makes 5 dollars per album sold and since I contributed about 1/20 of the work on this I am owed $6217.14 cents. This is reflected in my reserve.As you can see the record is in mint condition. Usually these things have lots of scratches from razor blades and things like that. Don’t get me wrong, I like partying, but I also have an Iron Maiden mirror that I got at the fair a few years ago.
As a free gift I?m also including this burned copy of the Postal Service “Give Up” record. I’ll remind you that this is a gift to my new friend. It was brought to Sub Pop when we first decided to put out the record. Oh imagine the mid level A&R hands this must have been touched by! It would be a very nice display piece next to your gold record. Kinda like an egg and then chicken sorta deal. I know you’re thinking that it’s just a burned cd and you’d be right. And since you’re such a genius you’ll probably remember that someone bought a cheese sandwich off this website.
We now return to your regularly scheduled Strokes “leaks”. If any of you win it, do the world a favor and tell us what’s really on the record. (Thanks, Ian!)

I love it, he’s going to better the world by starting a PR firm. Fucking hilarious. Add to that his take on swordfish being a better choice than steak – swordfish stocks worldwide have been depleted 90% in 20 years, plus their bodies are full of higher traces of mercury than have ever been recorded in fish. You’re better off eating the domesticated cow you dumbass. These are the kinds of people who work at Subpop. With the exception of Joan HIller they’re all a bunch of middle class douchebag twats who think rebellion is a stay in the W Hotel to go see some indie rock band singing songs about breakups or attempting to mimic Judas Priest. Douchebags.
douchebag, heal thyself. if you knew this guy, or anyone else on the sub pop staff, you’d get how totally JOKING he is in this post (but not about selling the gold record, that’s real). the only thing i can possibly agree with in your windbaggy, completely wrongheaded tirade is that joan hiller is, yes, a pretty cool lady.
Heh, noticed you made Pitchfork with this!
