Our love for Off The Wall era MJ beats is a well documented thing here at Project Dimmel. The trouble is, the Office Cultural Reformation Act (or OCRA) that I passed in 2008 strictly forbade all broadcasting of MJ’s post Jackson 5 catalog.
Look, productivity is up 65% since OCRA passed so I’m not about the flex on the matter, but, on the other hand, have you listened to Off The Wall lately? It’s ridiculously good, so what am I to do? The answer came in the unexpected form of an iTunes gift card from Kathleen, the head of accounts receivable at Project Dimmel. Between you and me, I think Kathleen is totally into me and the company pier is wholeheartedly fished off here at Project Dimmel so I’ll let you all know where that all goes. Anyways, her thoughtfulness lead me to the purchase of the stunning debut from HAIM entitled Days Are Gone.
This 3-sister act from L.A. was naturally going to play pretty well at Project Dimmel headquarters, but there’s so much more to the story than that. Haim aren’t just an 80’s revival act, they’re not homage. Haim are scientists that have studied, dissected and data mined the music of the 80’s in order to create it’s logical conclusion: a perfectly sweet, slow-burning pop that’s as giddy as it is mature.
Listen, I’ve taken a lot of heat for OCRA but workplace accidents are down 19% and on-time deliveries are at their peak since its passing so I’m not apologizing to anyone for anything. And with the arrival of Days are Gone, pining for the the loss Off The Wall is now down an astonishing 204% (right on schedule). Do your office a solid and pick up Days Are Gone from iTunes while it’s still 8 lousy bucks. I can’t guarantee a drop in workplace accidents, but I will promise a sharp increase spontaneous office ass shaking.
