gin blossoms: & when the sin smiles...how could it be wrong?

Artist Song
gin blossoms  allison road 
  slave dealer's daughter 
  movin' on up [live] 
  blue eyes bleeding 
  soul deep 
  hey jealousy 
  it's not too much (we'll be everywhere) [live] 
  lost horizons 
  brackish water [hopkins & wilson acoustic demo] 
  angels tonight 
  until i fall away 
  found out about you 
  girls can't wait 
  what [live] 
  heart away 
  fallen for you [demo] 
  hold me down 
  standing in the weeds [live] 
  just south of nowhere 
  you cost me too much [demo] 
  wasting my time [live] 
  pieces of the night [piano version] 
  allison road '94 

Comment:

"we're from tempe, arizona...ever hear of it?" this is a compilation i made of the gin blossoms' early material (i know i can't be the only person who thinks this is some criminally underrated stuff). the majority of this includes the work of doug hopkins, who killed himself in december of 1993 and without whom the band was never really the same to me. about half of these songs were culled from their debut "new miserable experience"; the other half are courtesy of their "dusted" demo, "up and crumbling" and "shut up and smoke" EPs, and various outtakes, bootlegged live tracks and studio demos. after adding three new songs to the mix, i ended up going 19 seconds over...but i'll find a way around it, don't worry. ok, enough from me. RIP doug, you wrote some beautiful stuff.
