A condition of a recently negotiated deal involved the mastery of "Don't Stop Believin'" in the key of C.
When I mentioned this to my mother as she was awaiting her Aer Lingus flight yesterday, she reminded me that my brother and his crew often fill those random, standing-around, smokin' and jokin' on-set moments singing the same song over their headsets.
Listen:
Of Montreal, Don't Stop Believin' (Journey cover).
Journey, Don't Stop Believin'.
Buy:
Journey, Greatest Hits.
Of Montreal - Heimdalsgate like a Promethean Curse (live) on Vimeo
Just watch as they recreate the video for one of 2007's best songs. Live.
Originally spotted on Shameless Complacency.
UPDATE: Obviously, vimeo took down the clip. It's too bad, it was quite extraordinary. At some point, NBC needs to work out its clip policy.
In the last week, I bought these albums:
Of Montreal, Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
It's a great album. I knew I loved the songs I had heard, but there are only a couple of weak songs out of the whole bunch.
