:D

That was two years before I discovered Reckoning and Fables of the Reconstruction. Yes, once upon a time, they were the greatest little scrappy indie band in the world. :P

Edit: are both Michael Mills and Peter Buck playing Danelectros?

BTW, Mike Mills looks so much like an early Bill Gates, that you can sometimes fool the unwashed and tell them he was in this rock band... :lol:

going bald was the best thing for him. He used to hide behind his hair a lot. See any early interviews & he was always shy, etc. compared to now.
Murmor was prob their best early release as well... Though Green is prob my fav overall.
