The Middle Eight

The Middle Eight is comprised of lead singer Jason, guitarist Matt, drummer Tallin, bassist Steve, and keyboardist David. Really, their names actually include the instruments they play.

Err…Oh wow, we’re feeling really lame today–from the incredibly feeble song we wrote as an ode to The Middle Eight to this last joke, You is Awesome and I LOVE Your Clothes just aren’t in the groove today. But that’ll all change as soon as we start listening to The Middle Eight, and even more so when we get our hands on their new EP, scheduled to drop in early 2009. And if that’s not enough for you, they’re featured in an upcoming major motion picture, The Rebound, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Justin Bartha. But we all know that nothing can beat a live show and they have a few coming up.

In the meantime, for your instant Middle Eight fix, head over to You is Awesome and read why Barack Obama is hip like that.

I LOVE collared shirts:
David: Collared shirts are the everyman shirt. Fancy? Casual? They’ve got you covered. My personal favorite is the sweater over the collared shirt. Hey, I’m wearing that right now.
Tallin: No shirts allowed!

I LOVE wearing t-shirts over long sleeves:
David: No, no, it’s sweaters over collared shirts…
Steve: No, no, it’s super-low v-necks under cardigans. This way my chest is fully exposed and I can breathe with the music in the world.
Tallin: Refer to previous answer.
Matt: Watch out for Steve’s chest hair. It’s a registered sex offender in 51 states. It’s so stimulating, it actually created the state of arousal.
Jason: I don’t know if I’ve committed such an act.

Editor’s Note: Hey, guess what state we’re in right now. Ohh, some of you have a dirrrty mind!

I LOVE glasses:
Matt: I had glasses when I was about 6 years old. My memory lapses at this point, but when I was 7, I didn’t need them anymore. I am probably Spiderman.
Steve: Yeah, I love the look of glasses, just hate the feel. I have contacts but wear the geek glasses due to popular demand. I feel bad hiding my eyes but feel better when I don’t bump into things like when I’m not wearing them.
Tallin: Glasses block my baby blues.
Jason: No glasses I used to have 20/15 vision which was a great mark of pride for me. I could have joined the Air Force. Speaking of which, before I got into music I had an obsession with West Point. I really wanted to go. Fancy that.
Matt: I know I already commented, but what is 20/15 vision? Does that mean you can see 1.33333 times what someone with perfect vision can see? Maybe you are Spiderman.

Editor’s Note: In the spirit of always learning, we’ve done some research. Jason may or may not be Spiderman, but 20/15 vision means he can see things at 20 feet that the normal eyes need to see from 15 feet away. Of course, this doesn’t solve why Matt suddenly no longer needed glasses…

I LOVE comfortable sneakers:
Steve: I love my personalized Plekan Converse in many crazy colors. I also love those comfortable ugly shoes that I wear all the time which just slip right on. Better for rocking out in.
Tallin: Can I get a pair of Plekans?
David: That’s what she said.
Jason: I usually get sneakers that are a little small for me which means I’m usually not comfortable in them.

I LOVE jeans:
Steve: Yeah jeans pretty much rule. Especially skinny jeans on my skinny butt.
Matt: What can I saw about jeans that hasn’t already been said? I will write a haiku:

Comforting denim.
Great as pants, awful as shirts,
worst as underwear.
