We Are Scientists was my first crush. I have 97 W.A.S. songs on itunes. For full disclosure, I haven't listened to the new album (Brain Thrust Mastery) in entirety, despite owning it; I really enjoy the old sound, the college-years eps that aren't so produced and slick. And the lyrics are comprehensive yet geeky. No wonder they stole my heart.
Example ... well, this song (Lousy Reputation) is from the first wide-release cd, With Love and Squalor, and is does not fall under the EP category (with the wonderful wonderful songs like The Method, We Are Scientists v. Mothra, and Human Technology will Render You Obsolete) but the vid is more classic W.A.S., a bunch of friends hanging out and making music. On a budget!!!
BUT ... a video (click below!!) featuring W.A.S. AND pomeranians? The lyrics described being upset after being turned down ("I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again") so I do not completely understand the cowboy theme, though W.A.S. is known for novelty. and scathing humor.
