...make them bad pictures because bad pictures would be seen as racist," Davis says. "How many shots in their ads did they use a John McCain [photo] looking decent and smiling?" He says the campaign also agonized over the music in the ads, paying special care not to play drum-heavy tracks that could be seen as an African tribal reference.

...Magpies,” reminiscent of McCartney’s solo career. The tone somehow shifts in the last three tracks to feature the more electro-ambient vibe for which The Fireman was originally “known.” Banjo and harmonica make random appearances, as do drum machines, hushed whispers, flutes, violins, and far too many “nah nah nahs” and “ooohs.” Oh, and there are barking dogs.

...which game is better? We preferred, slightly, the instruments that came with Guitar Hero. The pint-size guitars feel realer and more substantial, and the toy drum set comes with a pair of fake cymbals that make pounding it that much more satisfying. But--and it's a big one--the Recessionists vastly, overwhelmingly preferred the way Rock Band looked onscreen.
