Yeah I saw it. It was almost weird hearing the word be used on TV,  
it's so rarely done. In addition, they played a Future Clouds and  
Radar song and had Robert on the show performing (albeit lip synched  
for some reason, but cool nonetheless)

The show was created by Rob Thomas who is from Austin originally and  
so mentioned another Austin band I forget now. On his previous show  
Veronica Mars, he played a couple Cotton Mather songs and had Paul  
Rudd play an aging rock star whose one "hit" was a Cotton Mather song.  
So if we stick with Rob Thomas maybe we can get a power pop overthrow  
on TV!!!
