Of Montreal Steakhouses

Of Montreal is a cool psych pop band outta Athens, GA (home of REM from the previous post), who have licensed one of their songs, "Wraith Pinned To The Mist" for an Outback Steakhouse television commercial. The first time I saw/heard this commercial, I nearly plotzed my Sansabelts..."Is this Of Montreal I'm hearing?" I asked myself.

"Yes, yes it is." I replied.

I'm always tempted to cry "SELLOUT!" when I encounter such things, but hey - I'd rather have Kevin Barnes and his band make some money off this than having "I Feel Good" by James Brown licensed for the 3 millionth time.

That's beside the point, though...According to Barnes himself, it was impossible to say no when he was approached about the project, and I can appreciate that...It's a wonderful life when a band like Of Montreal plays to images of meats and sauces.

Hotcha!

Hank
