Pete Yorn Is Thinking Of: “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”

Pete Yorn has been surprisingly prolific of late. Consider that it was three years between his sophomore outing, 2003’s Day I Forgot, and 2006’s bracingly eclectic Nightcrawler, the latter largely restoring the potential of his brazenly accomplished out-of-nowhere debut, 2001’s Musicforthemorningafter. Another three years between releases, and Montville, N.J.’s favorite boho chick magnet suddenly had a lot more to say. Last year saw the release of Back & Fourth, followed by Break Up, a wispy collaboration with Scarlett Johansson inspired by Serge Gainsbourg’s duets with Brigitte Bardot. Now Yorn has ditched his smokin’-hot muse for Frank Black, who encouraged the confessed perfectionist and overdub junky to strip away the studio varnish and rawk out for the new Pete Yorn (Vagrant). Yorn will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our Q&A with him.

Yorn: Every single episode I have seen of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia—and I’ve seen them all—has been completely hilarious. The writing, the characters, everything. They have not dropped the ball once. My favorite character right now would have to be Artemis. She pretty much rules. And and it was great to see Danny DeVito join the cast after the first season and just totally fit right in and add to the hysterics. It seems like they’re having a lot of fun making this show, while staying true to their vision. The new season just started. Also, don’t forget to catch the new seasons of Eastbound & Down (Kenny “Fuckin” Powers!) and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Good stuff coming. Check your local listings.
