| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report fig dish, that's what love songs often do--replacement-ish chicago band that had a brief major label fling in the wake of smashing pumpkins. massive, crunchy guitar hooks, great dynamics and a lot of fun.arab strap, red thread--dour, poetic lyrics... | |
