Listen Up! No. 24: We Are Scientists - Nice Guys

Tweet

We Are Scientists doing their sorta-earnest, sorta-subversive, always catchy thing; Andy Burrows (yup, that one) doing his drumming thing (doesn't miss a beat); and a goofy video inwhich weedy indie-rockers do their thing on scooters (i.e. fall off). It's as good as they'll ever be (or ever were), which constitutes a compliment, but not an endorsement.
