Got a CD in the mail

One of the nifty things about ordering online (and also mail-ordering things) is the antic....ipation of waiting for the things to arrive.

Just received a rare CD today in the mail, which I ordered from Amazon a few weeks ago. It's called GREEN FIELDS IN DAYLIGHT, by one of my favorite bands: an obscure Canadian group called The Nils.

The genre would be ''melodic punk'', I guess. Hard to make out a lot of the lyrics -- but the tunes are catchy. The tracks are from 1984-1988.

As a bonus to we guys of green, not only does the album have the word ''green'' in it, but the front cover is green. Bonus. :)


(Pause.) Aha! In Googling for an image of the album, I came across this website which provides audio examples. My favorites (based on the album of theirs I already own) are "River of Sadness" (track 19) and "When Love Puts on a Sad Face" (track 22). Obviously, there's other good ones, but the snippets that play don't highlight the best parts of the other songs.
