When Austrian company Wiener Stadtwerke approached Owen Pallett/Final Fantasy about using the song "This Is The Dream of Win & Regine" in a commercial, Pallett declined (probably nicely). So, naturally, Wiener Stadtwerke used the song in a commercial in June of this year anyway––or, at least, the most similar re-recorded version of Final Fantasy's song possible, changing a few notes in the violin part, adding some guy awkwardly singing "can you feel it?" and crediting...

In a world where people are willing to spend unimaginable amounts of money on grilled cheese sandwiches and Travis CD's, it's a refreshing change of pace to get a CD free of charge. For a limited time only, a compilation album with such artists as the Hidden Cameras, Frog Eyes, the Wrens, Court and Spark, Xiu Xiu, and Goblin Cock can be yours for nothing but your address. The catch - Absolutely Kosher Records offers the free compilation of independent hits (and misses) only to those willing to join their mailing list.
