More more more flood

I'm going to miss This Flood Covers the Earth (though I hold out the hope that they'll take some time off, sleep in for a few days, remember how good Barnburner is, save up for a new van, and go on a four year farewell tour.)

Flood made me 15 again. Or at least they reconnected me with the 15 year old youthful energy that was lost somewhere in my balding domepiece. It was the kind of music that says, "if you're looking for background music, music to ignore, music for your iPod as you read the AP news wire sports section of a free newspaper, go fuck yourself."

They made music to listen to. Focus on. Play for your friends. Play in the car. Replay. They were tense, intense, unpretentious, smart, edgy, clever, hardworking. They were the perfect band to start a record label for. I'm glad we could be a part of your run.
