Too bad he didn't lift more from those guys.  They burnt it up!  (And I'm off to see what Grand Funk tunes are in the playlist.  edit:  Closer to Home.)

Me:
Pete Yorn is like the Tom Brady of music. Hate him cause of his looks and his talent. A little too much good fortune for one person to have.

Wife:
Jealous much?

I do like stuff by this guy. This one will grow on me, but the guitar calls to mind "Airplane" by Widespread Panic(?) in the opening bars. Then,when I hear the vocal, I am jetted out of undergrad bliss and back to the current era.
 
OK, I was wondering were I had heard that progression before.......

Different for Pete. I kinda like it. Some classic Pete Yorn would be nice too.

Your handle is bowiefreak, you should now how important "excellent hair"is. Dave's had about ten different kinds—from the Hunky Dory scraggle to the Aladdin Sane proto-mullet. Image is all part of the package.

Ha. Some places in the country commercial radio is so bad you can't imagine, completely Clear Channel sanitized. Where I live is a plenty liberal area just an hour north of San Francisco, can't get any SF or Bay Area stations here, just the worst dreck imaginable out here. If the song wasn't a hit yesterday it isn't played, and if it was a hit today not likely unless it's Third Eye Blind or Hillary Duff or some crap like that on every station. NO Peter Yorn, I can gaurantee you. I used to live in Boulder and commercial radio was better there. So results may vary!

Odd...I would never have guessed this was Pete Yorn. Sounds almost like Bono singing. I've heard some of his other stuff before, but it didn't really sound like this.

I saw Pete Yorn open for Crowded House 2x this past summer. he was good. he did a cover of that Peter Bjorn & John song with the whistling. Pete has excellent hair. and a fantastic drummer (Malcolm something?).

the beginning of this song always reminds me of "Lithium Flower" from the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex soundtrack.

This is a very good song (8). The number 9 is often preceeded by the number 6. Do you get it now?

Saw him at the ACL fest last Friday - literally a smoking hot show (including the nearby fire). They covered Peter, Bjorn and John's "Young Folks" - what a bass and drum workout!
