If you're a longtime reader of On magazine or its peripheral manifestations (the Facebook, the blog), or indeed have ever purchased a drink for one of its charming and quite attractive correspondents, then it is very likely you have gotten an earful about Official Best Rock Band of the Current Era, The Hold Steady.
This column you're reading is not about them; they just provide our in. The Hold Steady will open a show Oct. 20 in Portland for Death Cab for Cutie, a band I imagine, if you are reading this, you are probably at least familiar with. They're a Pacific Northwest indie band that made it big. This isn't about Death Cab either, but we're getting closer.

[Ben Gibbard] lent sounds to several tracks and sang the hook of the album's stateside hit, "Couches in Alleys." Gibbard and Petegem knew each other from a remix Petegem had recorded of "Nothing Better," a song from The Postal Service's sole record, Give Up. But Petegem isn't trying to replicate The Postal Service sound - and, hence, their success - by bringing Gibbard into the fold. Whereas Jimmy Tamborello's beats for The Postal Service were all about melody and saccharine elevation, Petegem's electronic-pastiche pop as Styrofoam is more concerned with interconnecting dissonant and ugly strains to render one beautiful fabric.

Stu Bost and Chris Alden are quintessentially of their time. Both grew up in the age of cell phones, the Internet and easy accessibility to multitudes of technology. The Brewer High School seniors, who together form the duo Autopirate, are a band that could only exist in 2009.
After all, two bands that also could only exist today inspired them: The Postal Service and PlayRadioPlay. The Postal Service's 2003 album "Give Up" was written by songwriter Ben Gibbard of the band Death Cab for Cutie and electronic musician Jimmy Tamborello, while both were in different parts of the country. They sent tracks and lyrics to one another through the mail, eventually putting together the vastly popular indie pop classic. Autopirate's Bost and Alden identified with that, big time.

This Note examines a recent circuit split on the question of postal liability for slip-and-fall cases under the "postal matter" exception to the Federal Tort Claims Act. The United States Postal Service, a federal agency, traditionally enjoyed sovereign immunity to suit. Although the 1946 Federal Tort Claims Act waived much of the government's broad immunity, it retained some shields under 28 U.S.C. § 2680(a) through (n). One of these provisions, the "postal matter" exception, protects the government from liability for the "loss, misdelivery, or negligent transmission" of the mail. When two addressees brought tort claims against the government in 2004 after tripping on mail left on their porches by postal carriers, the courts faced an issue of first impression: whether the placement of...
