Wow, this is perfect fluff, like a refined "Don't You Want Me?" for 21st-century college dweebs or a better-realized Future Bible Heroes.

You realize that you're the millionth person to make that "Don't You Want Me?" comparison, right?

Still, I like the song!

I really like that new b-side.

Interested parties may also want to track down a multitude of male/female Figurine duets that Jimmy Tamborello worked on before the Postal Service, including "Rewind", "IMpossible", "Our Game (Is Over)", and "So Futuristic", all from The Heartfelt.

styrofoam is the tweetronica jacques le cont when it comes to remixes

i have a cd rip with four tracks, that being one of them... i'm not at home so can't say at the moment, but will try to remember to do so later.

I haven't read any reviews of it. I assumed that the band was doing a deliberate tribute/emulation themselves so probably lots of people had made comparisons but I honestly hadn't realized there had been that much comment about this track. I don't have any great love for "Don't You Want Me" FWIW.

(I don't really keep up with indie-pop or its criticism. I heard these guys at a party and liked the electronic sounds so I downloaded their stuff.)

The only PS song I have the patience for is "Brand New Colony."

"what's the styrofoam mix on?"

The CD single for "We Will Become Silhouettes" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00079Z9V4/qid=1111032447/sr=2-2/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_2/102-5684610-0564140"

I'm going to go ahead and say that despite being a huge fan of both Matthew Dear and Styrofoam, their remixes on the "Silhouettes" CDS are among the worst things they've had a hand in. I was really excited for both of them, and then I got the promo, and... eh. Styrofoam, for one, did a much better job on things like his American Analog Set remix.
