How to save a life

So I must admit, I am a "The Fray" fan. Have been since their CD came out a couple months ago. The whole thing really is good, who doesn't like a little piano in their music? I do find it interesting/odd that two medical shows both used their title track prominently in the past two weeks. First Gray's Anatomy, and now Scrubs. I like the song a great deal, and it does in fact fit wonderfully in both shows. Just a little interesting.... Let the discussion of "selling out" start now. (A topic I will be more than happy to address once I graduate, in two days)
So you're completely done before Finals Week even starts?
I don't really think they are selling out. At least, not yet. When you are a lesser known or new band and two popular shows want to use your song, I think you would be dumb to say no. Any extra exposure one can get at that point is good. Now, if they were already an established band and doing it soley to make some extra money that they don't really need, that could be selling out to me.
But, I also think there is a difference between allowing your song to be used on a great show in which it really fits and impacts a scene, as opposed to your song being in a Ford commerical. I do believe the line between selling out and not selling out can be quite fine at times :)
