Crack-cocaine

That's a hell of a title for a post Mike.
It sure is!
You must mean a band that's named after the drug, right?
Nope! I mean the drug!

So let's talk about crack...
Crack is addictive. Insanely, unpredictably and overwhelmingly addictive to be excat.
Upon use, crack makes you feel good despite it's addictive qualities; it'll still make get you feel wonderful, make you feel different after using it. It's so addictive, to stop would be making yourself go through a ridiculous amount of suffering.
Who wants to say that they use crack? No one. There's such a huge stigma with this drug. It's sooooo plain out bad that no one would ever admit to using it. Even if it makes you feel great, as the high would do, you wouldn't want to tell your friends that you smoke crack in your free time.

Okay.
The Postal Service.
The Postal Service is the musical equivilant of crack-cocaine.
No.
The Postal Service is crack.

I hate this band. I'm using the word hate here. I HATE this band. Fuck! However, I haven't been able to stop listening to the album "Give Up" since it came out. There's so many bad things about this band. The music sounds like a first generation NES game for God's sake! The lyrics are so sickly trite and overly sappy that it hurts to hear them. It's so bad and I know it is but damn it if I don't listen to them on a fairly regular basis.

The thing is I'm not alone. I know many many people who have confided in me, telling me that they own the album, they listen to it all the time. The question is how deep has this horrific addiction seeped into society?

Fuck.
