In the case of Ting Tings, or anyone that’s ever sold their music to Apple, accepting the “sellout” is probably worth the bling that rolls in after being in an iPod commercial. See also: Feist, CSS, et al. Now if only we could get Chris Knox an iPod commercial. Or Tom Waits. Actually, given that two of my idols (knox, merritt) have succumbed to the all powerful commercial, I wouldn’t be surprised by the others hopping on the bandwagon to the bank.
