Yep. I got the same song, and LOVE it. Who the heck is it?

i also downloaded this song, and i badly want to know who it's really by, because it definitely does not sound like the postal service at ALL.

Hey, i found out who that song is by!! Apparently the group is called "Postal". I wasn't really able to scrounge up anything else about them, but i thought you might like to know.

jeeeah I got the song two, and I love it, but the postal service also rocks though

yaa i got the same song and knew it wasnt the postal service and was wondering who it really was

it says that the album is named Welcome to Hillsboro, did a search with "postal"+"welcome to hillsboro" nothing but a hospital site came up. It's strangely odd.

Wow, so I downloaded the same song and have been on a mad search to figure out who it actually is, because as everyone has stated it sounds nothing like Postal Service. I googled the song title and got this web page. How convenient. And yes it is definitely "strangely odd".

Yeah, same story as everyone else, but the thing I can't seem to figure out is the right word for its genre. It's not entirely ska and it's not a capella til the end. It's driving me crazy. The way it's sung and the tune and beat of it sounds similar to music of the late 1950s, early 1960s. Someone please give me the right name of this genre.

Ha, just so you all know...I'm in the same boat. That song is great, it's one of my favorite songs, but I have no idea about the band name, cd, or anything. It's sooo annoying! ARG!

Man, we're all no help at all. Lol.

Same old story here... I heard the song, loved it, but knew it wasn't the Postal Service. So this band is called Postal? I would love to pick up their album.

I think it may be another underground band with the same name... I love that song, I don't care who sings it. : < )

I'm pretty sure it's not "The Postal Service" 'cos if you go to their web site (http://www.subpop.com/bands/postalservice) there's only one album listed and that track is not on it.

i got the same song too! i know it's definitely not the postal service... i googled "postal band" and there is a band called goin postal... it might be them but they don't have a list of songs on their website. so... i dunno lol!

i,like everyone here, have the same problem...i dl-ed angel pumpin gas awhile ago thinking it would be a new postal service song but it's definetely not the postal service..i love this song...good luck to anyone who can find out more about it...

Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know, this song is by a band that used to be called Postal, my friend's brother is the singer. Last time I checked they changed their name to University. Anyway, they're just a local band from Hillsboro Oregon, don't know why they'd be on kazaa. Anyway, I'll find out some more info about where to get their albums so if you guys are interested, email me.

hello all. i can decifer this mystery for you. my brother is the lead guitarist for this band. originally the band was called postal, then it was changed to University, and now the third and final name is Lindsey Pool. they are from hillsboro, and are working hard on new material. if you want to hear more or know more, email me, i'd be happy to fill you in.

So the mystery is solved! I had been dying to know who this band was and found this board when I googled 'Angel Pumping Gas.' Although the song was labeled as being by the Postal Service, it was pretty obvious to me that it wasn't them. I began sending my friends the song and explaining the mystery. Well, I happened to send the song to my friend Slavik, who then told me he went to high school with the kid who wrote the song. Pretty crazy!

ah, the power of the Internet: solving worldwide problems in two months flat.

i lvoe that song as well, its the best. lets all have a party and listen to "Posta;" am i correct?

you can get their music at lindseypool.com

hehe..postal-university-lindsey pool->they still keep on rockin', sounds very good,but to be honest-> I like the postal service more, but then again they are two different styles,so I shouldn't compare them with eachother... I like them both..euh lindsey pool:did you guys never consider to come to belgium?

Dan->that's not my name... it's sakke! weird I posted under the name dan... owk then..my name will be sakke 'dan' from now on!

yeah i found that song too.. it sucks. i hate country. :)

interestingly, if you search for the lyrics they are classified on some sites with other "postal service" songs...sigh. youve got to love the internet.

Hey, yeah I found that song as well and I love it! - almost like rockabilly (reminds me of Cry Baby with Johnny Depp) ... kinda ... anyway slavik i would love some more of their stuff!

HEY WHAT THE HELL, IS THERE AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY, WE ALL LOVE THAT SONG, DAMN IS THE INTERNET COOL OR WHAT, LETS MAKE THIS BAND FAMOUS THEY DESERVE IT.

YES, GREAT IDEA! BUT FIRST, LETS ALL FIX OUR CAPS LOCK BUTTON.

Lindsey Pool Is a great band. I love Angel Pumping Gas. My band and I wanna do a cover. We will never get it as good as they have it but it would be fun to do. Great Great song.

hehe this is great, I just dl'ed the song and was wondering...heheheh only took 5 min and the mystery was solved...

Ha, that's awesome, i just hung out with 3/4ths of the band on friday, i'm friends with them, and their siblings. good times.

Hey! I am so incredibly happy that this site was made, I would have died if I never found out who the band was that created Angel Pumping Gas... it's delicious ^.^ thanks for the link to their site, is there any way to get lyrics?? or how do I get the actual CD? Please contact me if you know how I can contact them! Seriously, Lindsey Pool rocks and everyone needs to know that song is by them! And the others are so addictive...

The bands name is LINDSEY POOL, they have a bunch more songs for dl on their website.

www.lindseypool.com

These guys are great, and every single song they have on there is JUST as quality as the next. Get the word out on LINDSEY POOL!

Apparently CAPITALIZING words is POPULAR among the KIDZ. Thank YOU, Jim Wong. You are THE man. We appreciate what you are DOING for the CAPITALS Across AMERICA CAMPAIGN, which seems to have recently chosen this site as GROUND ZERO for CAPITAL deployment.

Dude, calm down. While I do admit that his usage of capital letters is humerous, but commenting on it is entirely off topic.

Now, on topic, Lindsay Pool is possible one of the greatest bands in exhistence, I think it's great that they are a garage band.

wow, Adam was told off on his own website. Another victory for the internet.

Dude, you are so right. I was WAY out of line. I need to calm down and just listen to some LINDSEY POOL. By the way, commenting on my comment was even more off-topic. Let's get back to the topic, please.

Oh wait. What WAS the original topic? I'll have to go scroll up to the very very top and take a look! Oh yes! That's it! It was "Who is playing this song?"

Guess what!

Here's another statement that is not "on topic" --

"Lindsay Pool [sic] is possible [sic] one of the greatest bands in exhistence [sic], I think it's great that they are a garage band."

I know these guys. This is the 3rd name change they've had. They went by Postal, then by University, and now by Lindsey Pool.

Good Music. So the reason they were under Postal Service? Probably somebody screwed up because their first name was "Postal"

Judging by the number of people who have visited this particular page (not just the number who have commented), I would guess the "screwing up" was a very good thing to happen to this band.

Screw up? No way. That was intentional! They are probably just sitting back right now scratching their heads wondering why is took so long for exactly this to happen. I bet that the band got impatient waiting for us to figure it out and glorify them, and that is why someone closely related to the band had to crack the case.

angel pumping gas is such a good song!! does anyone know where the lyrics for it can be found?

Actually... I DO! They can be found on the internet.

dude. same thing as everyone else. internet <33. =) you guys = awesome

The internet is *not* less than 33. I'm sorry, buddy. You = bad at math.

yeah man, i downloaded it under the postal service too, but when i play it, it says that its by a band just called postal, anyways wicked song

Umm. I'm gonna sound like a broken record but, that song is awesome. I too, found it by accident and now i love it. I'm glad i found out the bands name too. I will pass it on to the rest of my friends b/c they all have it downlaoded too. I love this page.

So okay, when I try to access www.lindseypool.com, nothing comes up. It says "wwww.lindseypool.com could not be found please check the name and try again". So uhh, what's up with that?

its sung by the postal service... and sorry it took so long to write back, i haven't cehcked my email in forever

Answering Kris' question, I suggest going to www.lindseypool.com, not wwww.lindseypool.com. Or just try the address without 'www.'

I had the same problem as Kris. There's no lindseypool.com. Yes i only used "www" and i tried with out the "www" but still no good. This is killing me!!!!

I did a google for lindsey pool and I found a site navioonline.com/lindseypool. try that see what happens.

Nice!! You are awesome!!

Hey! Am I awesome too?

Sure

I sure do love Rob's enthusiasm

I just stumbled across this website. To let you know I am friends with some of the people in the band. Their names are Zack and Parker. The song is actually my favorite. But ya, if you need info let me know.

Same as everyone else, the amount of people that have found there way here cos of that song; which they only downloaded because of it being renamed as a postal service song... is pretty intense - MINDBLOWING you might say Jim Wong ;)

Same as everyone else, the amount of people that have found their way here cos of that song; which they only downloaded because of it being renamed as a postal service song... is pretty intense - MINDBLOWING you might say Jim Wong ;)

see how i fixed that typo of "there" above? Just incase anyone couldn't figure it out.

Congratulations to us! We found the typo! We figured it out! And also, congratulations on finding your OWN typo! You are AMAZING! Says Jim Wong.

OH! OH!! I found ANOTHER TIPO! "..found their way here COS of that song;" Man, m I a jeenyus or wat?

Glad I managed to find this page, I was just discussing this dilema not five minutes ago. Good song, but The Postal Service's "Give Up" has to be one of the greatest records of all time.

Hey Adam, can I post a comment here too?

No. Seriously, that's just not appropriate at all. I can't believe you would think it was. For shame!

I need Lindsey Pool's Cds!

That's great! Because you can get them right here:

But How?

just go to lindseypool.com and write them. There should be a contact link. They are pretty quick at responding to emails.

Thanks alot.

hahahahahaha!! postal service is way more talented...

this is withought a doubt THE coolest discussion on the internet. my story is the same as all the others, love the song. then i had a lot of fun laughing at all the comments here. my favorite is definitely adam, oooh the sarcasm. from now on, any time someone says the word 'internet', i'm going to have to inform them that "The internet is *not* less than 33". the postal service rocks.

and i have decided that spelling 'without' withought the 'gh' is almost as horrendous as stating that an insanely complicated system is inferior to a double digit number.

Wow. Thanks, Byron. My favorite is defnitely adam, too! And Byron. Gotta love Lord Byron.

By the way, here's Lord Byron's baseball card:

http://www.englishhistory.net/byron.html

My freind Rob found this band out the same way you did and I can't beleive how good they are. I can't wait to hear more

Yeah that song is one of my favs... my brothers friend is married to the lead singers sister! thats how i heard of them and they are way good.. also d/l Wrong #... it's my fav! they changed there name to LindseyPool

the band is called Lyndsey Pool and they have an album called Postal.. i also believe they may have gotten sued over copyright issues from The Postal Service..
obviously there was some sort of mix-up since it is such a great discprepency (sp?)

you can actually but their CD for $8.00 at www.lindseypool.com they have all their CD's listed & you can listen to some songs...

Lindsey Pool is not being sued. Someone just put the song on kazaa under the name "The Postal Service" instead of "Postal" (their first band name) by mistake.

I think if anyone gets sued it should be The Postal Service cause they're getting credit for Lindsey Pool's song.

DO NOT believe this crazy "Ben" and his obvious propaganda. Lindsey Pool has most certainly been sued. See this article: /link/

The Postal Service is after *anyone* with these improperly ID3 tagged tracks. If you have any Lindsey Pool MP3s that were initially labeled as "Postal Service", you will be sued very shortly.

Expect your subpoena to arrive not via FedEx or UPS, as you might assume. It will be delivered to you using, um, the Postal Service, which has also been sued.

HI!! I'M FROM TIJUANA, MEXICO, AND I FOUND THAT SONG TOO (ANGEL PUMPIN GAS) LOOKING FOR POSTAL SERVICE... NOW, I'M LOOKING FOR THE LYRICS... WHERE CAN I FIND IT??? TNX:)
P.S. I ALSO RECOMEND "THE ALBUM LEAF", FROM SAN DIEGO AND "LOOPDROP" FROM TIJUANA
ADIOOOOSSS Y MUCHAS GRACIAS!! :)

I've just downloaded all the songs i could from lindsey pool, and when i get money on my check card im going to buy the albums, i just wanted to know if anyone knows how to contact the band, i want to give them some feedback and such. I'm a musician myself and love the sound.

Well, well.. Now I've found out who they are and I've also found out that there's a guy called Adam who is a critical sod. I think I shall delete Lindsey Pool's song now that the mystery is gone. I've been skipping over it for weeks whenever Media Player has found it but now there's no fun in that anymore - cheerio! By the way Adam, I believe you'll find that the internet is indeed less than 33.

I believe that all who comment on this site should cease the proclamation of loving the song and accidentally d/l it as a postal service song. lol. Both of these facts are obviously a common factor for all who view the site.
I also believe that you should NOT tell all of your friends about Lindsey Pool. This is because I think that music should be discovered through personal experience. Also, MTV should be abolished along with radio. Muah haha... Let's see where the forum goes from here.

Also, as I babble, check out Madison East @ http://madisoneastrock.com/
They're a great band from Cleveland. Their Record release party will be at Peabody's on December 23, 2004.

Interesting that you said we shouldn't tell our friends because you believe that "music should be discovered through personal experience" in the same post as you tell all of us to check out Madison East. ahhh hipocricy.
also, if the radio and music videos were abolished and no one ever told ANYONE else about bands that are good (as you suggested) then what, exactly, do you mean vy "personal experience"? how is someone supposed to have a "personal experience" if NO ONE (media or friends) are playing them/telling them about music? what other sort of personal experience exists? Other than randomly buying a CD (which is uneconomical for people with less money, and most like to know that they like what they're buying instead of potentially wasting their hard earned cash) going to shows (again, some people can't afford to go to shows of bands they don't know they're going to enjoy, or live in a town where bands play music they would like tour in) or possibly downloading them from the internet (which, aside from being illegal, not everyone can afford to use the internet, and downloading random bands till you find one you like not only takes up lots of hard drive space and time and you might not ever find anything you like).
so, please, enlighten us as to what this elusive "personal experience" you speak of is.

also, while we're promoting bands, check out The Raygun at www.theraygun.com - dancey new wavish fun. some sort of strange mix of 80's esque synthy/Postal service/franz ferdinand/lovely. From Victoria, B.C. Canada, E.P. release at Lucky Bar Jan.7th, 2005!!

also, check out Bright Young Things at http://www.musicianmp3.com/artist/BrightYoungThings/

actually, the band if this song is Lindsey Pool, www.lindseypool.com, then go to music and it is under the CD "Postal". hope this helps. malin...

Just thought I should also chime in here too since this discussion has been going on for 11 months now. Thanks to Adam, everyone in our family (well except maybe my wife) now likes Angel Pumping Gas. We can't STOP listening to it. Unfortunately, though, we don't know anyone in the band or anyone who is related to the band (as far as I know) and we don't hang with them. But I did find out that really the band is called Lindsey Pool and not the Postal Service. They have an album called "Postal" though. This song is on that album. They used to be called Postal. And University. Also, you can go here: http://www.lindseypool.com/ if you want to check out their music and read up on the band. (Just in case you didn't know.) My favorite thing about the song: he doesn't interview any furniture. - Dave M.

I was at a site where Lindsey Pool IS selling their CDs. it's

http://www.lindseypool.com/music.html

Although i'm not sure whether or not they actually are SELLING the cds, or just giving the prices. i dunno.

...they definitely are selling their CD's online. Some of the comments on this site are really funny. Do the people who posted some of them earlier this year still visit this site?
