Moody, layered music backed by driving rhythms

Details:
Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man, Harold Bloomâwhat do all these people have to do with rock 'n' roll? What do semiotics, deconstruction, and postmodernism have to do with alternative music? These are some of the sources of inspiration for Objectâs fourth album, Foucault A Go Go. This collection of songs is probably Objectâs darkest, moodiest album; however, there are tracks that show Object hasnât lost its sense of humor. Graduate students in literature and linguistics should see the humorous side of the title track âFoucault A Go Go.â

CONTEST!!!
Now, to see just how smart and literate Objectâs âfansâ are,Object is holding a contest. The inspirations for several of the songs come from four novels, one play, one nonfiction book, and a short story. Some songs have no references to literary works. The song âFoucault A Go Goâ wasnât inspired by any particular work(s). Be creative with your identification of the associated literary sources. E-mail your answers using the link on this page.

Object would like to thank Redickulez--that super rap group just back from their Losers in Life tour--for the vocals on âImage of the City.â Our hats are off to Tu Pacs Aday, Pace T. White, Special K, Lai Z I, and Sniff Doggie Du for their outstanding performances.

Now, for your edification, the lyrics to âFoucault A Go Go.â

Darlinâ Iâm gonna have to let you go
You keep a goinâ on about Foucault
Your infatuationâs gone too far
Last year it was Jacques Derrida

Buy a magazine and follow some fashion trends
Stop hanginâ âround with your literary friends
Nobody cares just how much you know

Youâre just another poser
Another hanger on
Dancinâ at the Foucault A Go Go

Baby drop your semiotics class
Like Paul de Man this fad is gonna pass
Iâm so sick of your pretense
Harold Bloomâs startinâ to make sense

Join a bowling team and have a little fun
You know you ain't impressing anyone
Except a bunch of art fags and postmodern hos

Youâre just another poser
Another hanger on
Dancinâ at the Foucault A Go Go
