out of all the records i own, my most listened to over the past 15 years is quite possibly the san diego based overwhelming colorfast’s power pop masterpiece two words. if its not, its only second behind crooked rain, well shit maybe behind bee thousand too. but still, thats still saying alot about the greatness of two words. front man bob reed, and really the only permanent member, never met a hook he didnt like. two words is one big freakin hook-a-thon, from beginning to end. its much like copper blue but only with its feet firmly planted more in pop. sadly, i dont know what mr reed is up to these days. there is a brief 3 song clip on youtube that apparently was part some kind of reunion show that took place in august of the 06.
i dont know how many tech geeks are in the audience, but there has been alot of cool shit coming out at the CES. i have been following engadget almost minute by minute for updates from the show. one that i have been following is the rumoured release of the apple phone. according to the wallstreet journal, cingular is going to be releasing this piece of technological porn. fuckin cingular!!!!!
You won’t believe this, but Bob Reed has been playing in Oranger since around ‘98. Scott Kannberg released their first two records on Amazing Grease. Highly recommended.
no shit? i have heard of Oranger but have never heard them. thanks for the heads up.
