Friday Face-Offs: “You Belong With Me” – 8th Place

The only thing badder-asseder than wearing an old grungy gas mask while you play your drum kit … is wearing a shiny, spotless, I’m-not-trying-to-buy-army-surplus, brand-new gas mask while you play your electronic drum kit. Almost makes me wonder if the mask and the drums are sold as a set … maybe in the “Chemical Ali Memorial Corner” at Guitar Center?

The drums sound so killer at the beginning of the song! “Gas mask keepin’ it in the pocket.”

Also, dig the honorary 3rd member of this band, a creature drawn to 5-string basses like a moth to flame (0:49).
