I nearly joined a group on a road trip to Connecticut to see them back in college. I don't actually recall why I didn't go, either.Morphine was a great band, kind of melancholy but they had some uptempo songs too.
Debut album from the band best known for "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand." That one's on here (track 3).
The new Qotsa album, Villains. Some good songs in there, but not a very overwhelming record.
