When not busy being mistaken for Peter Bjorn & John , Jersey dude Pete Yorn makes his own music. As is evidenced by the video for the Election Year one-off "American Blues, Vol. 1." As you'll soon pickup, the title's a pun, digging into the contemporary state of things (i.e. shitty) in the US of A. The video includes some images of a beardo Yorn guitar strumming, but more often it's CNN footage...

"Relator", by these two very beautiful people, could not be more bland. It would miss the cut for a Rob Thomas album. Train would find it dull. It might put the Fray to sleep. Johansson seems unsure of her twangy, so-average-it-hurts singing voice, and Yorn appears to protest too much, as if he hears the festering corpse of a song he's found himself singing and is trying to trick his brain into...

Love the job Pete does on this Springsteen tune. Came across my radar screen so I'm sending it to yours.

A bonus cover for you. Pete Yorn's take on the Smith's Classic...the quality is so-so, but the words are of course brilliant, and its a slightly different interpretation of a classic.And if I may be so bold, I would like to dedicate this to MTV...since they have been playing music that says nothing to me about my life since 120 minutes went off the air.

It's a dreary, gray Saturday morning here in Ohio...kind of a lot like every other day here this time of year. Anyway, I am being somewhat responsible and not going out for green beers this early like all of my friends, since I want to remember the Thermals/Hold Steady show tonight! Being an adult sucks..."It was easy when you were younger, you could put it back together..."

Back and Fourth is a pleasant but uneven showing for Pete Yorn.

Another sign of a good songwriter....to be able to a simple 'Uh huh uh huh uh huh..." and make it sound fresh and hooky.

Hey kiddies ...I'd be remiss if I didn't let you all in on a contest to win roundtrip airfare, two *VIP* tickets to all 4 days of the Rooing-Bon, hotel accommodations, ground transportation to & from the airport *&* to and from the hotel/festival. But wait, there's more ... (I've always wanted to say that) !!! An Xbox 360 & Guitar Hero for the Xbox ... go to this "site":http://www.publicradio...

I think Pete nails this, at least he makes a song I thought I'd heard enough of quite listenable. Incredible pedal steel work in there as well.

Pete Yorn was the first artist that MOG introduced me to and it was pretty much an instant seduction. I haven't yet had the excitement of seeing him live but this is a good substitute. Seattle, Feb 10, 2007. In a perfect MOG Amber would have been at that show and have a photo of Pete Yorn's shoes.

I caught an awesome Ramones documentary on cable yesterday.(End Of The Century)So, I have been basking in the short bursts of rock n roll purity that are the Ramones songs all morning. Here's a cover of Pete Yorn taking on what is maybe the greatest punk rock love song of all time...and a clip of the legends themselves.
