Well Planet Earth, as I am sure you all already know (probably the martians too; at least the ones who watch network television), today is a big day for My Dear Disco and the world, yes: My Dear Disco is actually literally unbelievably officially famous (as determined by the Universal Association of International Fame Board).
.
Ever since our song “My Dear Disco” was used in a promotional commercial for Melrose Place’s Episode 9 (Season One of the new Melrose Place apparently), everything has changed for us. The grass is greener, the sky is bluer, and we have a much greater appreciation for the potential drama inherent in our music.
.
I know, I know what your probably thinking: “What in the world must their families think now that these boys and lady are famous?!”
.
Well here is what they think:
Exhibit 1:
Did they have the rights to use this song? If not you have a very clear and good case for copyright infringement. Did I ever tell the story about this dude from my highschool whose song was illegally used in a Chryster commercial? He went to the bank on that one. But I guess its also flattering, right?
Peace.
[Brother]
.
Exhibit 2:
dude that’s f***ing sweet! holy s***! You should get a sweet ass royalty check for that. not that thats what you’re all about but it has to be said. mom and dad MIGHT come to [city] to see a sweet political comedy on sunday with me. you and your better half are invited. awesome bro, i’m so proud of you guys. Love [brother].
.
Exhibit 3:
–it’s so awesome. do you see that someone {from the youtube comments} wants to know what the song is? please write back to them…love, mom and dad–we are so proud of all of you!!! your big break!!!!!
.
Exhibit 4:
– this is awesome!! How totally cool. It must feel very surreal. I can’t wait to hear about how they picked you guys up. Did you get paid for this? How does it work?
Keep me posted and we can’t wait to see you in Dec.

Unfucking real!! Melrose Place just became way cooler than they had any right to be and it’s all because of MDD!! Glad your musical awesomeness could be shared, in part, with the mewling masses! Congrats you musical monsters! From here on out, every sentence will ended this way!

I just want to say this is hard for me. I am a MSU grad and to absolutely love the music of a bunch of wolverines is difficult to say the least. That being said, my wife and I saw you in Kzoo with some friends and had a blast. We mostly listen to just popular main stream music without searching out cool unknowns. Lame I know. Well My Dear Disco is unknown no more to us and it looks like soon to be the ENTIRE WORLD. I am extremely excited to see you guys gain some recognition. The only downside I guess is you can charge more for your awesome shows. But hey, Gotta Make Dat Money!

Glad you are all finally getting the credit you deserve and I know that this is not the last time your music will appear on television or in a movie. I know this because you are all so talented. Your fanbase will keep pushing your music and bringing the love as long as you keep giving us awesome music to listen to. Keep up the good work.
