The Evens - Get Evens - 2006

Only topic I could find about the Evens on this forum, so I'm upping it. . .

Wondering if anyone liked their album from last year, The Odds?

I though, structurally anyway, it was very reminiscent of Ian's songs in Fugazi. It's really good.

Though I'm a big fan of them anyway and would be hard pressed to pick a favorite of their three albums.

I hum the vowel movements song more than any other song.
Kind of bummed they never made any more in that vein.

haven't spent much time with it yet but i like the record

Just because:

When your son was a toddler, do you remember what songs you sang to him?

Sure. I wrote them. Here’s an interesting thing about me: I don’t know the lyrics to other songs. And I don’t really know the lyrics to my own songs, honestly. So if you asked me to recite the lyrics to a Fugazi song or a Minor Threat song, I’d have a very hard time doing that. So I wrote some simple songs that I thought would be of interest to him, or entertaining. There were a couple of camp songs as well. You know, “I’ve got a little old piece of tin/ Nobody knows what shape it’s in/ Got four wheels and a running board/ It’s a Ford, it’s a Ford. Honk honk/ Rattle rattle/ Beep beep.” That one I’ve got memorized.
