Let's go to Outback tonight




"Indie" music has become more marketable lately. Duh. Just watch Grey's Anatomy or the OC or whatever. It's the new "it's the new."

It's old news, but anyone with a television has been exposed to Of Montreal's "Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games." It's a really catchy song whose title wouldn't fit on one column in the Billboard charts. So it's easier to remember it as the Outback Steakhouse song.

Outback special ordered up another piping hot commercial using the song for Mother's Day. I'm pretty sure there's a didgeridoo somewhere embedded in the mix. Although Pitchfork says it's never been Of Montreal playing the song.

As Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal says, think of it as a "cover." Not as the Outback Steakhouse song.
