The Prids - Love Zero

Ok, so since I am trying to be in a band with my boyfriend and I feel like I suck and have no musical talent and want to give up, I need to re-ignite my ambitions and remember all of the couple bands that make me want to keep trying. Some of which include X, Sonic Youth, Fleetwood Mac, Handsome Furs and The Prids. 
This is The Prids first full length and my favorite. This record is so catchy and perfect for when I'm in the mood to get things done, or take care of business, which is really never. But I love this record and listen to it regularly nonetheless. The Prids are from Portland and have been a band since the mid-90's. This came out in 2003 and just sticks on me better than their other 2 lp's. The other stuff is good too, but it just doesn't have the same punch as this record. Its catchy, dark, 80's-esque post-punk. The guitarist/vocalist and bassist/vocalist were married and then divorced and still stuck it out in this band and continue to make music together and I think that's pretty great.
So, Kelsey, suck it up, quit crying, pick up that bass and fail and try again and fail and try again. Ugh..
