WE ARE SCIENTISTS - (Debut CD) With Love & Squalor Just released! I saw them (Keith, Chris, and Michael) at the CD release show at Virgin Megastore at Hollywood/Highland the other night, and I appreciated it very much - those punks got my attention! They got me from their feature single "Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt" honoring the use of the body with a bit of self-realization; after all they recognize a deep insight that yours is mine and mine is yours, and somewhere in there is a hint of the golden rule, i.e. "Do unto others, as you'd like...". The BODY is a precious thing to be honored and never wasted, never to be wasted - treat it well. I wish more people would realize it. We Are Scientists like Thomas Kinkaid and Mickey Rourke, so they can't be all that bad, infact not bad at all! Maybe there's a lot to learn here, after all - We Are Scientists.
