October 31: Reubens Accomplice - I Blame the Scenery
Reubens Accomplice are some Phoenix buddies of Jimmy Eat World; sort of like the Steve and Edie if JEW were Frank Sinatra. Like Steve and Edie, they're not that talented, but Jim from JEW throws 'em a bone by playing "extraneous percussion" on here. (what, like egg shaker?)
I picked up this album at Waterloo because it was only $2, and that's good, because it's only worth about $2. Most of the songs come off as watered-down, sub-par Jimmy Eat World covers, until track 11, "Borders," when the band all of a sudden do a fantastic impersonation of late '80s REM. If you're really interested, they do have a new album out, and they're opening up for, of all people, Jimmy Eat World on their spring tour next year.
