I really, really respect bands who do this, because I think it demonstrates a very liberal (and postmodern) understanding of the art they create, and how it derives its value. Plus, I’m lame and spend most of my time tooling around with audio. Word!

Summer Camp on MySpace Music →
It’s hard to do music that sounds like it’s from teen movies from the late ’70s/early ’80s without coming off as overly ironic, or even as parody.
