Misery Loves Harmony Artist: The Vegas Nerve Label: Cosmic Jukebox Records Length: 13/60:29 The Vegas Nerve approach life tongue in cheek. Misery Loves Harmony is a mixture of straight ahead rock and guitar soloes mixed with a Camper Van Beethoven/Cracker sensibility with a soupcon of Replacements thrown in just so you don't become complacent. "CK Jeans" is about seeing that girl in a club and falling into instant lust. "Rock Songs" is a wry commentary about the Nerve's chosen profession: I'll tell you how it's done.It's not War and Peace, or even Bob Dylan, but man, it's fun. "I Can't Help it if I'm Happy Without You" is self-explanatory, a different twist on a breakup song that lyrically recalls "One More Minute" by Weird Al Yankovic. "1980's," a time capsule piece, made me feel old: I used to wear a legionnaire's cap with"21st Century Love" pokes fun at dating, finding the solution in cyber-dating. It has a repetitive, droning, half-drunken chorus that last over two minutes. "Thrift Store" is a Replacements soundalike about love found, lost, and potentially found again. "Jeannie" is a plea to a woman that could be a Tom Petty song. Misery Loves Harmony is filled with irony, humor, and some pretty good songs. The Vegas Nerve will not get on your nerves. Brian A.
