Song Notes: I'm a big fan of bis, and this is one of my favorite songs of theirs. This is from one of the singles pre-New Transistor Heroes, the Transmissions from the Teen-C Tip EP, and all these EPs were later compiled on the I Heart bis "promo" CD that SpinART put out (it was always listed as a Promo, but I'm not sure if it ever actually got released to radio stations -- I was working in College Radio at the time, and I never actually saw it!). Unfortunately, I think that comp is out of print, but it's really excellent if you can find a copy. (Perhaps on eBay?) Anyway, though, I've always had a soft-spot for these types of defiantly going down types of songs about relationships ending -- that sort of "You hurt me, but I'm going to try my best to not show it" thing. (Also, "No Children" by the Mountain Goats, and "Who Dat" by Ween.)
