Me too.

I've been working on a cover of "Pickup Song" which, by the way, is one of the best post-breakup songs ever written.

I also think of Codeine as "winter music", much like Nick Drake.

TOTAL WINTER MUSIC!!!

Very desperate sounding... post-autumnal.

Although I prefer The White Birch.

Good metaphor! Fits them very well indeed. Man, they made some amazing, powerful records ... wish they'd made more. Not Crap!

I have always LOVED this band. I missed them due to studying for finals in 1995 thinking I'd catch them the next time around...then they broke up.

Barely Real is the best.
Then White Birch
Then Frigid Stars.

All the singles were great.

Not Crap.

i was in the car the other day and i started thinking, "man it's getting colder. time to break out the white birch.

I said Codeine was a tape loop of a hammer being dropped into a piano every 30 seconds.

Or something like that. That was my joke.

hmm not too funny. Anyone backing me on this?

breakable music though somehow can be annoying due to repetitiveness, but it is not quite that either.

IN ANY WAY ONE OF MY FAV BANDS LIKE BEDHEAD

Got my discs yesterday and I've been listening to them like crazy.
This band is worthy being called amazing.

NOT CRAP.

The word we are looking for is 'Glacial'.
Such a great band. Bridging the gap between Spacemen 3 and Low.

One of the best bands ever. Period.

Supremely underrated... like Supercollider underrated. Not crap.

(All respect to the above, but the best Working Holiday track was the My Dad Is Dead track.)

And hammers being dropped on pianos every 30 seconds is ze awesome.
