Vidiot (n.) definition: a sub-human, barely alive zombie who zones out in front of the tube for weeks on end, vegges out and manifests a fierce "leave me alone" attitude; differentiated from a Couch Potato who zones out in front of the tube but is actually aware of what he's watching.

Geoff Westen was the original Vidiot. "After the last band I was in broke up for some stupid reason, I hibernated, propped myself up in front of the monitor and sort of dropped out. The song 'Better Get Started' was a self-motivating message." Because of that song, Geoff SHUT DOWN the TV, WOKE UP, and began to TUNE IN!! to his life again. It worked like a charm.

THE MUSIC ON TUNE IN!!

Reconnected to the world and re-energized, Geoff waded into his head and returned with the Power Punk tunes-de-force that comprise VIDIOTS—Tune In!! The songs take advantage of Westen's signature Wall of Pop style of production in a top-notch collection of songs you won't be able to shake out of your head.

VIDIOTS—Tune In!! is the follow-up to The Pigs—OINK! Geoff's breakthrough Power Pop album that made the Hybrid Magazine list as one their "2006 Up and Coming Favorites," and was named one of the Top 25 Indie CDs of 2007 by Indie-Music.com. The reviewers and fans alike, have responded to Westen's neo-retro sound, and cite influences from the '80s to the present.

Westen delivers screaming guitars and a driving track that rocks his opening anthem for Vidiots everywhere, "Better Get Started." He kicks it up a notch on the thumping tracks "Angry Young Man" and "Don't Stop The Kiss." And check out those funky-chunky wah wah guitars in "Action Man." And no one does a ballad better or tells a more tender love story than the softer side of Westen on "She's So Young" and "Searching For Love."

The album is very danceable all the way through, especially on the slightly techno versions of "Together" and "Some Of You Girls," with their loops and intense synth solos. There are plenty of vintage Westenisms throughout, as he continues to exploit his Wall Of Pop Sound.

Oz Studios created a wonderful concept for this CD package, depicting a Vidiot's two most important tools - the screen and the remote (how very simple are a Vidiot's needs!) You see, a true Vidiot wants to see the world as he'd like it to be - not how it really is. Escaping from reality is a Vidiots dream. Escaping into reality is a curse. So the concept depicts living INSIDE a TV World as a wonderful place to be...or is it? Why are The Heads screaming?? Isn't that where they want to be? Maybe it's not so wonderful in there after all?
