for "No Decision No Disciple", "Thorns and Such" and "lbs",

particular, was a favorite of mine from the Seattle show -
uptempo, acoustic guitar with MAJOR hooks.

np: Underground Lovers, _Dream it Down_. Been addicted
to this one lately, particularly for the songs where Philippa
Nihill sings lead - "Holiday" and "Recognise". Perfect
summer driving music, even on rainy days.
