The year was 2002 and I was working at a group home for men with MH/MR problems you know doing the greater good for humanity and my fellow man. I was out of college for a little bit married for about two years. And was sitting in my living room when I was flicking through the channels on the TV and landed on the local colleges TV station. They played videos from time to time and I stopped to see what was playing. And the commershal ended and the videos started to play again. a hand full of crap played I left to room got a drink and some chips, started to hunt the remote control and then there it was. The keyboard riff that started to play it cought my attention and I held back from switching the station. Im glad I did it was my first listen to 'bandages' by HOT HOT HEAT. that song stuck in my head like glue for the life of me I couldent get it out of my head. I keep singing it to myself over and over again. Then finaly the CD was dropped and i ran out to get it. And to my wonderful suprise it was amazing, the whole disc was filled with killer tracks! This is a cd I fell in love with the second I put it in. I wanted to hit restart the second it was over. Not all that many discs can do that it was and is POP perfection every song a jewel. If you could bottle a bright sunny day and make it into music this CD would be just that.
If Im in a bad mood to this day I put ''make up the break down'' in and BAM im good. It's the musical reset button for your soul. think 1980's synth pop with a heavy dose of pop punk tossed in a blender with a little pinch of the cure sprinkled on top for good measure.
most popular track: 'bandages' but I LOVE 'god damnit'
