A week or so ago, I noticed a new Outback Steakhouse commercial, featuring a familar-sounding tune - Of Montreal's "Wraith Pinned to the Mist (and other games)". Only Outback's version was very cheesey (go figure) and made me slightly outraged. Corporate giant Outback Steakhouse ripping off a minor indie-pop-rock outfit like OM? Humph! I wondered if Of Montreal knew about this...
Turns out, they did. And they signed off on it, citing self-amusement as a main reason (I'm sure the $$$ didn't hurt, either).
