There are companies who actively seek to place/license songs in spots like this. The Purrs just had a song placed in the new David Duchovny (sp?) show "Californication." Shake Some Action was placed in a Nike Women's online campaign over the summer.
It's quaint that such things used to be considered selling out. I remember people writing about Velocity Girl getting used in a volkwagen ad in the 1990s.
But, personally I think it's cool and it's an great placement for Pris/Burke. I'm looking forward to the new Pris record (shameless plug: Seattle Powerpop Blog is presenting Pris' album release at the Sunset on 10/27).
