Stephen Pedersen is a unsung musical hero of mine. I don't know why don't I throw his name around when talking influences. I really should. The White Octave is one of my all time favorite bands, and he was the brains behind them. He was also in Cursive. I really could give two shits about that band though. Because the only albums I've heard by them that i liked, had Stephen Pedersen on them. So yeah, get more cellos dOOdz! I listened to this album in full the other night after god knows how long. I remember waiting for its release. I was so excited to hear it. The realization that I had listened to this album a hell of alot hit very quick the other night. And it was awesome to reminisce. I don't remember being so fond of there follow up to this album. But maybe ill have to go back and listen. Criteria was a band that I aloud to fall out of my favor. And it wasn't even because of the music that band was making. It was because of my usual bullshit. I mentioned White Octave too many times to Criteria fans who responds with a unanimous "huh?" Enough to make a man vomit. The kids who did know of White Octave, didn't like them because they had gone backward from Criteria to discover them. I started my usual hate think. Where I start thinking of more accessible bands as inferior. Criteria gets a pass. I love this album. "Me on your front porch" was a lovey mix CD staple of mine for fucking years. And "Rescue Rescue" is fucking outrageously out of place and beautiful. I don't even know if they exist anymore as a band. well, hopefully Stephen Pedersen is doing something musical.
