Well, not Iggy, but Wall Street.
At an investor conference today, Dan Stein, CEO of eMusic (pretty sure that is right), in explaining how his company promotes 'discovery' (ie, intro new groups to consumers), mentioned that they could say something like: 'if you like Led Zep, maybe you'd also like Hold Steady'.
The man could have used anything for an example. Pretty cool.

Along with the Huffington Post allusion, this is my other favorite; it worked on a couple of levels. Crist, in shirtsleeves because he is working so hard for You, had a pretty loud and receptive crowd of supporters. His speech was, eh. We learned that Republicans abandoning Crist for the crime of hugging Barack Obama is proof that "our political system is broken," which is a bit self-absorbed. And: "I'm aware that after this speech ends, I don't have either party helping me." That was increasingly true before the speech. In fact, that's why he had to give the speech.
(Playlist before his announcement included "We Will Rock You" and "Born in the USA." Not played: "Killer Parties" by the Hold Steady.) www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/04/29/crist_announcement
