Review: You, Me, and Everyone We Know

So i recently downloaded the new ep from You, Me and Everyone We Know entitled So Young, So Insane. The album starts out with their single, "I Can Get Back Up Now". Musically this is a gorgeous song, at a concert last month, they performed this and blew me away. The use of guitars, basses, drums, keyboard and Ben's wonderful voice brings a smile to anyone's face. For the single they also got Max Bemis (Say Anything) to provide some guest vocals. Another track that got my attention is "A Symptom". This track has a 50s feel to it. I did not see this coming at all. It reminds me of early rock and roll that you almost have to have a slow dance partner to participate. This brings a whole new dimension to their genre of music. Though the rest of the tracks are pop ballads with colorful choruses that match the cd Cover nicely. The Ep has the theme of overcoming obstacles in life, this fits the band because they have been struggling for existence for quite a while. They have no label. They pay for everything from their own pockets. When i recently saw them they had a box for donations. This lack of cash doesn't stop them one bit, they are all about the music. The last two Ep's (including this one) have been released on their myspace for FREE. What a bunch of nice guys. Go and download the new Ep at www.myspace.com/youmeandeveryoneweknow

New Kevin Devine album this winter

The singer/song writer from Brooklyn New York has plans to release a new album "Brothers Blood" this upcoming winter, slating a Februaryish release on Favorite Gentlemen records. The album is all done and has about 15 recorded tracks with 12 making the final cut on the album. Since early '08 fans have been treated to a new demo just about every week. So far I have not seen a tentative track listing, although "Tomorrow's Just Too Late" (Probable Jesse Lacey guest vocals) and "Murphy's Song" (Jaymay guest vocals) as well as the title track "Brothers Blood" are confirmed tracks. The demos seem to be hit or miss. Stand outs include "Carnival" (See Live Video - It's Excellent) "Hand of God" "She Stayed as Steam" "I Could Be With Anyone" and "Another Bag of Bones" as they have hard hitting lyrics and catchy melodies. I give the thumbs down to "Fever Moon" "Your Husband" "What's Keeping us Young" and "All of Everything Erased" as they are drearily slow paced and subsist of more palm muted power chords and basic chords with hammer ons and pull offs - nothing new to Kevin Devine. Despite those flaws - they are still fairly solid tracks. If you liked "Make the Clocks Move" "Circle Takes the Square" "Split The Country, Split the Street" and "Put Your Ghost to Rest" there really isn't a doubt that you wont enjoy the demos or the upcoming album. Same old Kevin Devine. Highly recommended for fans of Brand New, Pedro The Lion, David Bazan, Elliot Smith, Folk, Acoustic, and Anti-War.

Polar Bear Rant

It seems like every time you turn on CNN they are pressing the issue of global warming and how the ice caps are slowly fading away and polar bears are losing their habitat. I can understand stressing that the ice caps are melting and the oncoming melted water will flood certain parts of the world. But really though, polar bears are the least of the worries. The immediate problem is melting ice caps, which in the big picture wouldn't be TOO bad. On a grander scale global warming is the scarier thought, not fucking polar bears losing their homes. I wouldn't be ranting about this if it wasn't prevalent on the news. Sweet Jesus, it's like every other news story. It goes: murder, poor polar bears, gas shortage, poor polar bears, car recalls, poor polar bears. Obviously I'm exaggerating but it's a guilt trip and it's bullshit. One that makes me want to stand outside everyday with aerosol cans and then watch the fuckers drown in person. It may sound harsh, but really what have they ever done for us? They are vicious, there isn't one generous polar bear out there - it would not hesitate to maul you. Some of you are probably saying "Yeah...but they're cute." That's nice and all but I'm sure at least ONE of the nazi's were cute (they've got the blonde hair blue eyes thing going for them), doesn't make them good people and I would happily destroy their homes and feel nothing. Although, they do market Coca Cola during Christmas time and I must say I love those commercials. But those ads are extreamly ficticious. The mother bear wouldn't give second thought to eating her children as a food source. Polar bears are heartless I tell you. Don't fall for the yellow journalism CNN and other newsites are pedaling. Save the seals instead.
