15. It Doesn't Matter
Alessandro was a big fan of the band and was quite kind enough to release this cassette. It's basically a mix of old songs that wouldn't have been released otherwise, and newer songs that I was working on at the time. Terrible sound quality, but they are just 4-track recordings, after all... Call it our "Dead Letter Office".
Quiet Christmas single "Quiet Christmas" 7"
Jigsaw, USA 3-99
1. Quiet Christmas
2. Snowless Winter
3. Forward To Snow
Recorded when Arianne went away for the holidays. I missed her (and the snow). This record shows that depression doesn't always have to result in mopey music.
