Song of the Day: "Somebody That I Used to Know"

This is Gotye, who is a dude, not a band (Wouter "Wally" De Backer). And it sounds a lot like The Police to me, which is why I find myself confused as to why some lesser Police track is getting all kinds of radio play these days.

It's cause it's not them! Duh! It's new(ish) and Belgian! Belgiumian! Whatevs.

Wait, he's from Belgium but now lives in Australia (not Austria).

It won the ARIA (the Australian Grammy) for Single of the Year (and I was hoping it would be the unreleased voice mail from Bon Iver complaining about his hotel room--I was really rooting for that).

Eventually I will get caught back up on work and music and shit.
