Yes! I'm so glad to hear this.

Remember when people thought Mindy had anything to do with Lydia's sound and I was like: lol you stupid cunts.

so good live. can't wait for the fall tour.

Would be interested to hear a record done with someone besides Malpass.

Man, I miss Steve.

Yea I think it's partially because I didn't try Lydia until Paint It Golden came out. Sometimes it's hard to go backwards especially if they had a lineup change. Same thing happened to me with the Get Up Kids, I love their new album but not big on their older stuff.
