February 12: Molly's Yes - Wonderworld
I bought this in 2001 when we were trying to bug Molly's Yes to let 12 Pearls open for them. At the time, they were working on a second album for Universal, but then they got dropped and broke up, and we never got the gig. I think I'd listened to this once before today.
The cool thing is it was recorded at Yellow Dog Studios in Tulsa, where 12p did Listen. And it's got bagpipes on it, which is always good. The uncool thing is that some of the songs sound like they were thinking "Hm... I love that Matchbox 20 sound, but it'd be better if we polished it some more in the studio and took out that awful rock energy."
A couple of the Molly's Yes guys are in a cover band called the Plumbers now, FYI. And some of them used to be in a band called Glass House with Jenny LaBow, who used to have Nick and Tyson from the All-American Rejects in her backing band. That's two degrees of Rejects, people.
