Postman' into 'Ooh Ooh, Im a rebel just for kicks, now.' Samuel L. The Velvet Underground ( Squeeze-era), "Send No Letter"Ī lesser-known VU cut from a record that shouldn't really have been credited to the VU, this Doug Yule boogier is a fun cut anyhow, and could very soon describe the state of the USPS. The Man hit 'Feel It Still' interpolates the vocal melody from this track, turning 'Oh yes, wait a minute Mr. You know, incriminating love notes may be easier to dispose of than digital ones. Stevie Wonder, "Signed Sealed Delivered (I'm Yours)" International mail, sure, but it's hard to make an email smell like anything.

As detailed by Nick Greene earlier this month at Village Voice's Running Scared, this means print media is in for a punch (you know, while it's down and everything), your bills are going to show up later than they should, and most egregiously, the whole damn thing is essentially going to raise Netflix prices.
