I recently bought a DVD copy

I recently bought a DVD copy of "Animal House" when I realized MxPx played a cover of "Shout," you know the oldies song, on it as an extra. Loved it. I don't think that counts as selling out.

Music in commercials

Music in commercials actually grabs my attention although I wish that the artists would insist that they receive credit for their work beyond the obvious cash they get in form of on-screne recognition so I don't have to endlessly hunt online to find out who was singing that...

It's my gut reaction to say

It's my gut reaction to say they're selling out, but that's pretty old school. It doesn't seem like musicians have a lot of options to get their music out there. Most radio stations put the same artist and songs on rotation day in and day out and MTV no longer plays music (except when they go to commercial). I think that artist should get their music out there any way they can, and if that means selling out to a commercial or a sappy love scene on 'Greys', then so be it.
What new music has TV introduced to you?
