Cover art for Finer Feelings lyrics by Spoon

I think you're right, but I think the chorus is about his yearning for the widespread adoration that will make him feel complete,

Sometimes I think that I'll find a love One that's gonna change my heart I'll find it in Commercial Appeal And then this heartache'll get chased away

if you think of Commercial Appeal as actual commercial appeal instead of a music magazine. So to me it's about more than finding the right label, it's about him wanting to be recognized for his greatness on his own terms.
