I was listening to KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" the other day -- generally considered the most influential music show on the country's most influential radio station -- when up pops a hooky, eccentric, infectiously fun song ranting about virtual reality, virtual worlds, and all the many other strange/freaky/wonderful phenomena emerging all around us, before we quite have time to process them. Let's listen to De Lux's "Oh Man the Future":
More about it on KCRW, which has put the track into pretty heavy rotation. Selected lyrics:
Virtual networking, replaced by social interaction
Virtual reality becomes sub-reality
People make money off being good at life in a virtual game
Oh Man the Future!
Follow De Lux on Twitter. KCRW has a tendency of launching pop acts into huge mainstream success, so don't be surprised if you start hearing "Oh Man the Future" everywhere soon.
And unless I missed it, this would be the most prominent pop song to mention VR. I kinda want it to be NWN's official theme song, because I pretty much feel the way this dude sounds every day.
