They had a section where they sold CDs for a dollar. Like.. a dollar-six after tax, and I found this album, staring at me amongst the rubble
The music sounds how the album looks |
Of course.. when I popped it in at home, I could tell why it was so cheap and I'd never heard of them. Aside from maybe two songs.. alot of the shit is.. well.. shit. The song "Jellies" is probably the best thing on there. It sounds as though they recorded with a microphone, underwater. The songs are slow.. and there's always this feeling they're gonna pick up, but they rarely do.
However.. that's also why it's pretty damn cool. This band is raw. I'd say they were a softer side of Grunge with a grudge towards everyone else who made it before them. You can tell that this Album is probably their one shining moment. And that, for me, is worth my dollar.
Besides.. it's not horrible background music.
So the point? Those Dollar-Bin CDs are shit. But you should buy one every now and then. You might be surprised.
Now probably the only picture of them on the Internet |
awesome info here... good job!

I love cheap cds. I feel like im the only person left on earth who actually pays for music.
ReplyDeleteCool. I like the picture you have at the top of your page.
ReplyDeleteI pay for music only when no one knows who they are.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, man.. they're pretty mediocre. Cool, though.
