NYC’s The
So So Glos left
the stoop on their
city block for a
brief moment to drop
in on our beloved
studio for Me
+ You Pt. 63!
And what a good
start we got off
to…

For their Viva Radio
debut, the group had
just returned from a
nationwide tour with
Glen Rock stars Titus
Andronicus and
had barely been back
a day, so when we
sat down to chat
with the band,
rather than rattled
by the task of
acclimating back to
New York City living
(or sub-living), the
band seemed to
embrace it. As a
matter of fact, the
group are quite
ready to accept New
York for all of its
flaws and obstacles
because if you’ve
listened to their
music, you’ll know
that they love to
celebrate the hell
out of the Big
Apple, while
offering equal
amounts of pining
for the good ol’
days (pre-recession,
pre-condos,
pre-adulthood…).

The interview was
somewhat
revelatory, and
while a few years
younger than
Tedward, they
offered a nice
gritty and regional
contrast to Ted’s
ironically
non-homosexual gay
transplant vibe.
Starting off with a
family history, it
is explained that
two of these guys
are brothers and one
is a half-brother
since age 3. Hint:
it’s not Matt. Then
- a reverb-soaked
“1-2-3-4″ leads
right into “Throw
Your Hands Up”, a
song that shits all
over national radio
and Clear Channel
mindlessness.
How appropriate!

We all come out as
the good guys in the
end. Which is why
this edition of Me +
You ended up being
quite pleasurable
with some great
tidbits and
fantastic
acoustic renditions
of tracks from their
2008 sophomore
record “Tourism/Terrorism”.
Whether or not their
take on The Kinks’
“Shangri-La” made it
into the program is
up to you to find
out… So LISTEN!
