Lance posted a Catherine Wheel song, and it made me realize that though we know much (far, far too much) about each other, there are still things to be learned. Like the fact that we’re both big Catherine Wheel fans, which has never once come up in conversation.

Like many of eventual favorite bands, I stumbled across Catherine Wheel pretty late in the game. The music video for “Way Down” from 1995’s Happy Days was my first exposure. It was pretty heavy compared to their earlier albums and appealed to the pseudo-metalhead in me. Eventually, during a music drought sometime in the early aughts, I picked up their first two albums. It was a good decision.
