Stoop Chat #4

👨‍🌾🔮🎽

We got back on the stoop last night and hashed out a couple of important matters, including Keith’s recent trip to see Back To The Future: The Musical in London, his obsession with white v-neck tees, Carne’s functional neckerchiefs, and why W.A.S. doesn’t make music that sounds like Charli XCX, even though we’re always babbling about how much we stan her.

The time of using AI to illustrate newsletters is very much upon us.

Over on our Discord server, an exhilerating exercise in madness is underway: our top-gun moderators have created a 128-song bracket representing the best (and worst) of the We Are Scientists catalog, and over the next few days a series of action-packed voting rounds will determine which of these compositions is the people’s favorite. Do join in if you like music and brutal, winner-take-all bloodshed.

S.D.I.R. returns later this week with a nostalgic look back at the 2010 North American tour that many people remember as our finest (just kidding, I’ve never heard that), featuring a lively conversation with P-Dreamy (a.k.a. Aaron Pfenning) and a number of beautiful images.

Until then, whether your v-neck be deep or shallow, take care.

Keith & Chris 🏳

More and more drummers are wearing neckerchiefs these days, at least in our AI-generated image library.

Oi! Mate…

Here’s a triple-dose of gratitude, going out to Sinead (sineadaisling@X), Louisa (Harmelodie@X), and Emma (bigfattartemma@X), each of whom pays to subscribe to this premium television channel, and by so doing has funded a cold golden slurp for the band. Pictured below, the three of us in a Bristol pub a few hours before our show on 26 Feb, slavering over our subscriber-funded strong-waters. Sinead, Louisa, and Emma: truly we thank you.

No beer tastes sweeter than that which is funded by subscriber dues 🥰
