I really relished listening to these guys when I was growing up, and I am surprised that this is their first new album in eight years! Here is a single, titled “My Promise”:


That said, why is when I visit the album’s promotional web site, I get an…Egyptian feeling?

Beats the crap out of that which is called “Top 40” musick. Welcome back Earth, Wind & Fire! To you, we dedicate The Overnight Open Thread!

Top comment on that UToobage vid:

3 chords, 2 minutes, no bullshit 🙂

Commercial music sucked big green donkey Johnsons in the 70s, with way too much over-produced garbage IMO (think ELP). In 1977 a showcase “Rockumentary” called Live at CBGB was making the college circuit. The Ramones got my attention for the same reason that the Utoob commenter stated; they were paying respect to early rock and roll. They weren’t smug, and didn’t play to each other – they played OUT.

The second UToobage comment addressed the action just after 1:00. THAT describes my mental state these days, except when I post something especially for all loyal Blogmockrateers on The Overnight Open Thread.
