Eric Fensler<\/a> (of GI Joe PSA<\/a> and TRS-80<\/a> fame) teamed up with the Eric of Tim and Eric to make an amazing music video<\/a>. There’s also another music video that Tim\/Eric’s Eric did for a group called The Bird and The Bee<\/a> (they did that song Again & Again<\/a> that I popular on college radio) that’s on that page. I had never thought about how Tim\/Eric and Fensler share an aesthetic, but I guess they are both really into paying homage\/parodying retro lo-fi. <\/p>\n Perusing FenslerFilm’s YouTube<\/a>, I came across a music video E. Fensler did for a guy named Ariel Pink<\/a>, who seems to be playing the musical equivalent to this retro lo-fi style. The first song I heard, “Politely Declined<\/a>“, made me turn down my speakers because of the extreme overdriven, overdubbed cassette tape sound. It’s a fun song, but I don’t know if I could listen to it on a regular basis. “Are you looking after my boys<\/a>” is the next song I heard, video also directed by FenslerFilm. It’s pretty interesting in that both the music and video sound like they have been recorded and rerecorded onto a VHS. <\/p>\n I just read the news page for Fensler, and I guess he is a writer for Tim & Eric Awesome Show, so I guess it makes sense that they all share an aesthetic. He apparently also did a Sealab 2021 episode that never aired, but it’s on the Sealab Season 3 DVD. I’d like to see that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eric Fensler (of GI Joe PSA and TRS-80 fame) teamed up with the Eric of Tim and Eric to make an amazing music video.
