Caribou shills for Lexus in new commercial

Check it out, one of my favourite musicians working today landed himself a high-end car commercial, in the form of the song "Odessa" from 2010's Swim album:


Like: People finding out about Caribou
Dislike: Morons finding out about said musician. "Oh, is that the guy from the car commercial?"... Grrrr...
Like: Mr. Snaith bankrolling more amazing music thanks to the automobile industry.
Dislike: Not enough people buying his records so he doesn't have to sell out to a car company. But I guess if Henry Rollins can announce for Infiniti then all bets are off, right?

As you say, good to see Dan making some money for himself.

But is Caribou or Henry Rollins for Lexus/Infinit any worse than Bob Dylan doing that ad for Victoria's Secret?

The Bob Dylan thing is probably worse, cause he's walking around in the commercial like it's a music video...

But of course we all know that Dylan sold out when he went electric
