FNM’s cover of the Commodore’s Easy is both ridiculous and sublime. Man they can play.

There was a good bbc show of theirs floating around on YouTube. The music is so intense that I feel these quieter pieces give one a chance to catch one’s breath.

The EP's title was "Songs To Make Love To." My older brother had just taken me to my first concert when I spotted it in a music shop the next day. Patton would later go on to participate in a collaboration (Nathaniel Merriweather) titled "Lovage: Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By." Absolute awesome.

Midnight Cowboy was on both StMLt and Angel Dust (which I wasn't allowed to own because of the Explicit Lyrics sticker at first. My father and mother argued about that. Thanks Dad!) What a great track for slowing down. The band wasn't just about heavy and dark tones, they also appreciated and could produce beautiful music. The fulness of the song really overwhelms me when the whole band kicks in.
