Everything With You By The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

On October 14, Slumberland Records is going to release the Everything With You 7" by indienoisepoppers The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.

Listen: "Everything With You" (box.net mp3)

"Everything With You" sounds like an amalgamation of, well definitely MBV, but also a whole bunch of late 80's-early 90's college rock. At the same time, it does NOT sound dated. The b-side is the 'anthem' entitled, um... "The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart." Dig it.

Preorder the 7" here.

- Ted Leo put together the Rapid Response EP to "raise awareness and funds for specially selected organizations Minneapolis Food Not Bombs and Democracy Now! to help out those arrested during the [RNC] protests." You can get the digital download for a $4-20 donation... here. Let me tell you the lead track, "Paranoia (Never Enough)" finds Ted in his punk rock mode and when he sings "Don't get too comfortable" at the end of the chorus I felt chills (but it could be I left the window open). I should note that I did feel a similar chill when I heard him cover "Suspect Device (Stiff Little Fingers Cover)" (box.net mp3) a few years ago at the ERMP.
