Central Services: "Fun (While It Lasted)"
Central Services are from Seattle! Nice! LOL!
Kevin Emerson of Seattle's Math & Physics Club (whom we've mentioned here several times before) is quite the pop enthusiast. So much so that just one pop band was apparently not enough to satisfy his catchy pop melody needs. Thusly we have Central Services. Birthed from the dream of high school friends Jeff Blancato and Kevin Emerson to one day make great pop music together, they eventually got together with keyboardist Eric Goetz, bassist Mark Livingston, and rhythm guitarist Ethan Jones, who shares membership, along with Kevin, in Seattle band Math & Physics Club. It's an indie-pop dream come true.
The band self-released their debut self-titled album back in September and we've been playing the hell out of since we got it a couple weeks ago. You can pick it up at CD Baby and we highly suggest you do. It's obviously highly recommended for fans of the Math & Physics Club and the like.
[MP3]: Central Services :: Fun (While It Lasted) (Highly Recommended!!!)
As you might expect, there's not a very big difference between Central Services and MAPC; at least not on this song. I'll admit, the better part of this album does set them apart from MAPC in as much as the album as whole feels, let's say, a bit more "rollicking" than MAPC. This song however, not too different from your standard MAPC tune, which isn't exactly a bad thing because I LOVE this song. Anyway, just listen to it, okay?

This is third rate Elliot Smith. It's terrible.
this is bad!
:(
oh well.
I guess if you're the kind of person who discovers music on "Grey's Anatomy" this might be right up your alley.
lol yeah, you found me out. i find all the music i post here on grey's anatomy...
it's not a terrible song matt. mapc are just waaay better!!!! that's all.
Actually Lizzie, it is a pretty dumb song. No offense. Say, is this the Math & Physics Club member who was in the funk band?
i think it might be, but i'm not sure.
that IS the mapc member who was in the funk band. i just found "soulwork" on cd baby:

oh heavens, what can even be said?
why does kevin emerson think he can write pop music?? he should stop!!!! and mapc should fire him before it's too late!
central services was play on my radio programme (we play an other song, not "FUn While it lasted") and people said how much they like it! I think you are wrong about it as a dumb song! you should not be as dumb!
C'mon, everyone must start somewhere. It must be difficult to have your songs constantly compared to the well-crafted, literate and mature songwriting efforts of the Maths and Physics Club.
These guys are way more like Foreigner than they are Beat Happening, but who gets soused and sings Beat Happening at karaoke anyway? I bet those Foreigner blokes are rich as hell. Central Services isn't my thing, really, but they aren't all THAT bad.
