Same. The reason for my obsession of white guitars with black pickguards.

Such a cool guitar player. One of my hero's as well. I was lucky enough to grow to call him a friend, and I worked on all of his coffee labels and branding for him when he departed from the band to do that venture. Even hungout and had frozen burritos at his house and recorded two songs from scratch with him a few years back. Such a genuine human being.
It's hard for me to even listen to these older albums with how the rest of the band treated him for wanting a break.

Anyway, I digress. This album will always hold a special place as the gateway to guitar playing for me.

 

That's sad to hear. But I'm glad he's as genuine as he seems. He always seemed like the guy in the band who was the most genuine.

It's such a shame the band didn't want to celebrate the S/T with Quinn & Branden at the 15 year anniversary, and obviously the 20 year too now.

 

That’s awesome. I’ve always heard good things about him. John Feldman practically confessed his love for him not that long ago haha.

 

For real... It really does still break my heart.

 

Not surprising. When I first met up with him to do the coffee labels, we met in a coffee shop, and I walk in thinking "Holy shit, that's really Quinn sitting there." and then five minutes later, it's like talking to an old friend. Such a sweet person.

 

Wandered into an Urban Outfitters with my SO yesterday and saw the self-titled for sale. I picked it up, and I'm sitting here this morning listening to it all the way through for the first time in years and years. What a phenomenal accomplishment this album was, both for the band and for the "scene." This particular brand of rawness and melody still feels so fresh to me, 20+ years later. It still feels so authentic and earnest.

 

Stone cold classic.

 

classic.
