Bishop Allen is the reason that we have You Aint No Picasso. Yes, we can take that literally and say that I stole the name from one of their unreleased songs; but there’s something more important there. Bishop Allen got me into independent music.

Let my preface this by saying that I’m not a huge Mates of State fan. I like their studio work okay; it’s just that when I saw them live…they were kinda boring. Granted, Bishop Allen did open for them, so my excitement had kinda peaked. But still, I was let down. Now having said that, [...]

It’s no secret that I love We Are Scientists. They’re all sorts of amazing, and I won’t stop spreading their gospel until I’m dead. So to aid any new fans that might have come around since the Virgin signing, here’s a cool cover that WAS did while in Amsterdam.
