What Is It Robot?
Andrew Thompson - We're In Business.
I now declare this our unofficial theme song, at least through the end of the month. When I first heard this, I figured it must have been some leftover electro track from the 80s. Turns out it's brand spanking new. Go figure.
I don't know anything about Andrew Thompson, other than he seems to like raquet sports and has a phobio of lazer-wielding robots. This is fine. I'm not crazy about those robots either. I also try to avoid the robot association with the site. We gets lots of songs about robots in the mail and most of them are really silly or campy or crappy. This particular song can easily fall into all three of those categories, but it maintains a steady diet of awesome to keep it floating above the rest.
I mean, at the end of the day, this track is just damn smooth, as is the rest of the album. All the songs have this electro flavor to them, with casiobeats and nice melodies. The track "Don't Get Down" is definitely another standout. This record, called Egad! should easily fill your white-boy electro quota for the year.
You can buy Egad directly from iTunes, as well as various stores. Check his site for more info.
