bleach: farewell, old friends

back in college a good friend of mine, joel, was totally obsessed with the band bleach. he would always talk about them and try to get everyone else to listen to them and try to see in them what he saw (ive never done that with bands i like...) i tried, but i just never got into them.
a few months ago i was in bakker bookhouse (a christian bookstore in gr) and saw their latest cd, 'farewell, old friends' in the cheap bin, so on a whim i picked it up. i gave it a good listen and really enjoyed it. come to find out, it was their last cd because they broke up. great timing, as always. i guess i owe joel an apology...
since i am back in town i headed back over to bakker bookhouse, and much to my surprise, there was another cd by them in that same bargin bin! its called 'audio/visual' and its actually a best-of type of album. its got 18 songs, and it comes with a full concert dvd with it! i guess i can check out the old stuff that joel obsessed over all those years ago.
