David in North Carolina asked about National Lampoon's Vacation soundtrack.
LB said it was a fluke -- ran into Harold Ramis who directed the movie. They struck up a casual friendship and HR recruited LB to write for the movie.
Sort of proud of it, because he thinks maybe it informed the movie a little. Was one of those lucky things that happens. Ramis was surprised that it was as good a fit as it was.
Chad in Tulsa asking about OOTC -- brilliantly arranged. Feels "Did You Miss Me" sonically sounds like it could have been pulled from that album -- wondering if the whole of GOS is more in the vein of OOTC.
LB says UTS was about letting a couple of tracks do the work of the songs, but not a full representation of what he can do. Says that GOS is more like OOTC than any of his other albums -- feels it's a stronger album than the last and if one likes OOTC they'll probably like the new one.
