I'm really enjoying "Welcome Interstate Managers" -
the toes have been tappin' nonstop since it hit the CD
player.

I find myself playing "spot the influence" in many
songs.  Not quite as obvious as was Sawg's "Catch
All", but I swear that I'm hearing familiar things
when I listen to various songs.

I'm not saying that they intentionally or consciously
put them in, but I hear bits of The Cars ("Stacy's
Mom"), The Monkees ("No Better Place"), even Owsley
("Hackensack").  I swear I hear a Todd R./Nazz
influence on a few tracks too.

I'm not talking a whole song necessarily, but a riff
here, a jangly guitar there, a vocal intonation
here....you get the drift.  I'll be driving along in
the car and fell like I've heard that sound or riff
before and it will drive me crazy until I can think of
it.

Am I halucinating or what???

PS:  I find the video for "Stacy's Mom" to be
very...well predictable, cheesy, etc.  Very MTV. 
Again, it contributed to the "Cars" feel.
