Comment:

just about 80 minutes. another addition to my "primer series," this time featuring rainer maria, a band i love dearly & am still heartbroken over breaking up. i have a forthcoming zine that is sort of about rainer maria in a kind of tangental way, and i wanted to include a mix cd of some of my favorite songs. i don't own the complete rainer maria discography, so this mix is heavily slanted toward long knives drawn, catastrophe keeps us together, & look now look again, but long knives drawn is an album that holds a lot of emotional significance for me, so i'm not going to apologize for it. eh. oh yeah, the live tracks are from the live album anyone in love with you [already knows].

A great band that we don't see around here enough. This looks like a nice overview. For me Look Now Look Again holds the emotional impact, especially Rise.
