Indie music has been popping up on prime time TV for some time, being name dropped on any number of teen-targeting dramas, or providing the soundtrack for emotionally charged moments in shows raging from Rescue Me to Grey’s Anatomy. On November 2nd, My Morning Jacket are taking the next step, appearing as an animated version of the band on Seth MacFarlane’s, American Dad!. We all remember Homer Simpson killing time with Cypress Hill and Smashing Pumpkins, but rather than being simple guest stars secondary to the plot, My Morning Jacket are said to be the main focus of the episode, cleverly titled My Morning Straitjacket. CIA employed protagonist Stan Smith, the eponymous American dad, becomes an obsessed fan of the band.
