We Are Scientists “With Love and Squalor” was probably my last impulse musical buy.  Back in the day, when strolling through a used CD store, if a band name or album cover caught my eye…I would sometimes take a chance on the record.  This was especially the case when I was sifting through the dollar racks.  I discovered a lot of cool bands doing this.  Of course, I came home with a lot of crap, too.  I currently have boxes of crap sealed up, collecting dust in my garage.  Crap so bad, I can’t even sell the cases back because they’ve been exposed to such musical excrement and are now forever tarnished.

 We Are Scientists wasn’t a used purchase.  It was a new purchase.  It wasn’t the cover that attracted me to the band.  In fact the cover almost made me reconsider.  It was the name of the band.  It was a cool name with a subtle tinge of humor.  I knew these guys had to be listenable at worst.  And years, later, I’m still a fan.
