Popsicle

Terrible English to damn good music. Back in college when I was much into Swedish bands, Popsicle was my favourite band. Guitar riffs that stick to memory like pvc glue, singing wrought with emotion but in a wry tongue-in-cheek way, their music was the soundtrack of my banal 17-year old existence back then. I remember being in a one-gig only band that played their covers. Simple 3-chord songs suited to the skillset of this wannabe novice guitar player. Thanks to J for teaching me the chords and how to play them in a "minimalistic" sort of way (aheheh). But most importantly for giving me one of the best gifts I've ever recieved-- an mp3 disc of Popsicle's entire discography.

Sadly Popsicle has long been disbanded. I have no idea what their members are up to and am too lazy to google them. I have moved on to other music, but whenever I feel the need to go to my "happy place", I run to the aural playground of Abstinence-- their 1995 album which in my opinion is one of the best produced albums of the 90's, possibly of all time. Here's a track...
