Hyping a Sub Pop Also-Ran

I am confident when I say not a lot of people know this band.

I am also confident when I say that a lot of people could get into this band. If they were given the opportunity. And were willing to take the chance.

I could be way off. It wouldn't be the first time.

(Confidence waning.)

But here I am making it easy for you. Make it a double. Two tries.

Pond - The Practice of Joy Before Death. AKA Music. Bargain bin.

First and Second Found, Separate Trips

I was willing to give everything a chance in the Sub Pop catalog.

Anything and everything. Except for The Dwarves.

I wanted the Pond album. I talked about the Pond album. I never got around to buying the Pond album. Not through mail order. Not through a store. Not for Christmas.

Eventually I started moving away from Sub Pop releases. Towards other bands. Genres. Labels. Pond was forgotten.

Fifteen years later someone grew tired of their Pond compact discs.

The best bargain finds are when you least expect them.
