We're The Next [Fill In Blank]!

I am grateful to loyal KEIT groupies Dave Cranor and Beth and Andy Byers for offering up the feedback on the album for which I have been longing. According to Dave, "It is perhaps the fowlest peace of music I've ever herd." Well put!

Andy compared us to Cake, which I take as a considerable compliment. Know Eye Inn Teem has also been compared to The Bangles, and The Barenaked Ladies. No one has compared us to U2, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, or any of the other artists whose songs we covered, but probably that was just too OBVIOUS.

I had an eery experience last weekend. I gave a copy of the album to some friends at a dinner party, and they popped it into their stereo. We listened and poked fun at it for a while, then the conversation veered elsewhere. While the music was still playing, in the background. I was stunned to realize that The Aluminum Album is normal enough to function as background music at a dinner party. That blew me away.

Keep those reviews coming, fans!
