#FakeNews, while it’s no secret N.E.R.D. loves pop music and Kylie Minogue specifically, the selection of a party theme song must be done with care and attention.
“2112” by Rush reflects the following N.E.R.D. principles:
1. Nerdiness: Kylie Minogue does not have any 20+ minute progressive rock songs in her catalogue, to my knowledge. Ergo, not nerdy enough.
2. Technical precision: The band Rush. Neil-f’in-Peart. What more can I say?
3. Pragmatism: 0.25 cents at the jukebox for a 20:33 minute song is a steal! We are always looking to acquire quality product for cheap. :)
Runner-up: “A Change of Seasons” by Dream Theater (23:09).
