Either I'm feeling extra snarky these days - or I'm just discovering more in the world to be snarky. A week back or so, I was scrolling the events calendar for my favorite local venue - Cafe Du Nord - and found that a recent headliner was none other than THOMAS IAN NICHOLAS OF AMERICAN PIE AND ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. That is how it was billed. Unfortunately, the show had already passed, but a couple clicks over to MySpace, and it was evident that, yes, the guy who portrayed sexually frustrated Kevin in three American Pie films is making a go of it in the music business. It looks as though Nicholas - who puts his own spin on that whole Nickelback/Gavin Degraw/2000-era Bon Jovi - is "unsigned," while the site is still littered with various endorsements. Of course, being label-less is not going to prevent Without Warning from dropping - without warning, I might add - on January 19. His bio reads quite convincingly: "Although the term 'actor-turned-singer' can have a negative connotation, Thomas will definitely change your mind with his songs 'Wasting my time,' 'How does it Feel' and 'You Don’t Know.'" Apparently, according to the bio writers, it is only those three songs that avoid the negative "connotation."
Not convinced yet? Watch the video for "You Don't Know" - or better yet, just spend some quality time with family friends, instead of spending your time reading about this...
Not to be outdone, be on the lookout for the Chris Klein Experience sure to be putting a positive spin on the actor-turned-singer genre.

What are you talking about? Dude knows 3 chords and he's got them down pat. He's a natural.
Is it just me, or is that the longest 3 minute song in creation?
