I think it's amazing. I never heard the rhythmic similarity between these two songs before. I'm not one to have OMG SACRED feels about music. If you can do something intriguing with it, I'm willing to listen.

It's Brenden's world; we're just living in it.

I actually got into P!ATD through their videos, but they seem to have breathed new life into 'art pop' if there's such a thing.

As long as the RNC pay the publisher for rights to use (royalties, y'know), they can use any song that's been published; doesn't matter if the artist, the label, the publisher, the fans, Dead Elvis & his Elfin Bride or anyone else objects - they've paid for the legal right.

But that's only for the public performance, including broadcast, of the original licensed work. Using it as a promotional adjunct - like in a campaign ad - requires additional permission, opening the door for additional recompense.

And a case could be made that use of a licensed work as an adjunct to a campaign function (a la the RNC con) falls under the latter category - let's hope an artist sues.

For some odd reason, I'm reminded of this:

I have no idea why, but the music for Pokemon Go! has had me humming a this song for, well, a couple of weeks, now.

I'm not sure what is striking me as similar, but I know it is connected to Pokemon Go!

(There is also my inveterate Ivan idolatry, but I refuse to apologize for that. He knows my name, and he is a very thoughtful and nice guy.)

I got both of these references. Thank you for helping me to feel superior.

He's awesome! This song, I guess it doesn't have anything to do with the RNC, I just think it's cute.

Child Bite is an awesome hard core band out of Detroit. Definitely not RNC music!
