Talk:The Postal Service

message: Should the line "Such Great Heights" can be heard in the background of a recent UPS campaign. be removed.  UPS (United Parcel Service) is a different company than USPS (United States Postal Service).  This line is either a mistype or an irrelevant statement.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.46.49 (talk) 19:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it appropriate to mention that "Angel Pumping Gas", while almost invariably attributed to The Postal Service, is by Lindsay Pool ? The song is not currently mentioned on the page, but all over the internet and on p2p networks everyone seems to think this song is by The Postal Service. --211.28.49.160 01:59, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Come to think of it, is there a source that has any information about the (2006) video? I have not seen anything about there being a new video of The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.   69.47.216.213 10:00, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

*There, removed the inappropriate Death Cab template.  A Postal Service template needs to be created.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.204.183.50 (talk) 20:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

message: So the article discusses the fact that they mailed the DATs to each other through the USPS, but it doesn't give any indication where they were. Seems like that would be worthwhile information for most collaborations, but especially so for one named for the method of delivery. 98.202.125.252 (talk) 03:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

message: It doesn't look like The Postal Service is coming back to life anytime soon.  A recent interview with Gibbard yielded: "Q: Are you considering another Postal Service album?.  A: What people don’t understand is the Postal Service is not a band. This was a thing we did for six months in 2001 and 2002. I’m not going to sit here and tell you we’re never going to do another record, but no one should be holding their breath."
So is it time to change "The Postal Service is..." to "The Postal Service was..."?  We can always bring it back to present-tense later on, if conditions warrant.  But I think it's time to say "was".  What do you think?--MikeUMA (talk) 14:27, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That article is awfully light on specifics, just mentioning the Postal Service in a long list of bands that "could bring us some happy future shock in 2012".  Here's hoping, but not worth mentioning in the article until more can be confirmed. Meelar (talk) 21:40, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Question resolved.  They're touring again in 2013, so describing them in the present tense is still appropriate.--MikeUMA (talk) 17:15, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

message: As Lewis is a fully fledged member of the band, the main image representing the two male members as the entirety of the band is, at best, just incorrect. An image with all three members would be preferable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8388:7002:6200:2031:A06A:65F7:5FC8 (talk) 21:55, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

message: The original Gray's Anatomy theme song was "Cosy in the Rocket" by Psapp (beginning Season 1, Episode 2; the pilot had a title card with no theme song), not "Such Great Heights". Perhaps "Such Great Heights" was used in later seasons? If so, can this be corrected?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Verneinung (talk • contribs) 04:25, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
