This is probably turning out to be my favorite Does it Offend You, Yeah song. Some of the songs on this album have a great 80s vibe to them – like if the synth sound of the 80s never happened and Mr. Moog started doing his thing a little later.<\/p>\n

I have to say this is a lame video for such an energetic song though… Really not what I had in my head. Mom was always right about music videos being stupid. Of course at the time she was saying that staying up till 2am on Sunday nights\/Monday mornings was the only way I could get exposed to new music…<\/p>\n

Anyway, for a better example of the obvious 80s influence listen to the great synth and exageratted Robert Smith British vocals on this (another one of my favorite songs on this album):<\/p>\n

If you really want to see what I’m talking about skip ahead to 1:40 and you’ll hear the crazy 80s cowbell and plangy plucked bass guitar sound effects straight out of the 80s. But it fits… it fits really well.<\/p>\n

This is another great song. Skip to the 2:10 mark and listen to the throaty “ooof” noises in the background and kettle drums. <\/p>\n

By the way, I work down the street from the headquarters of Moog. But, living in Los Angeles I guess I’m a hop, skip and a jump away from a lot of things, huh?<\/p>\n

Not this band though, they’re bri- -ish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
