When asked about the similarity, Mr. Young said the Postal Service was never a model yet he considered the comparisons an honor.

But he also wasn’t too shy to note that he has profited from the other band’s recent absence. “They released a record in 2003, and that was it,” he said. “There was really nothing to compare it to until some one else came along and wrote the next chapter. Maybe that’s this record. Maybe that’s this band.”

Seriously, fuck this Owl City guy in the ear. “Wrote the next chapter”? More like “photocopied someone else’s notes for the exam.”
