Mates of State/Dear Nora - split

Artist: Mates of State/Dear Nora
Title: split
Release: 2003
Label: Polyvinyl Record Company

Track List:
1. Mates of State - These Days (Jackson Browne)
2. Dear Nora - Girl from the North Country (Bob Dylan)

Kansas's Mates of State joins Oregon's Dear Nora to offer up two acoustic covers. Mates of State doing Jackson Browne and Dear Nora doing Bob Dylan. I think the fuzz on the Dear Nora side is part of the recording.

As with the Rainer Maria 7" I posted earlier, this is still for sale over at Polyvinyl. Looks like they have some copies on blue. My girlfriend's copy is on a neat peach/pink color.

Rainer Maria - Hell and High Water

Artist: Rainer Maria
Title: Hell and High Water
Release: 2000
Label: Polyvinyl Record Company

Track List:
1. Hell and High Water
2. Paper Sack

If you've heard of Rainer Maria I bet you haven't thought of them in a few years. If you've never heard of Rainer Maria, they were an emo band from Wisconsin featuring male and female vocals. Pretty good, but nothing exceptional.

This is still for sale over at Polyvinyl. As usual if you like it you should buy it since it's still in stock.

The second track was recorded live so that probably accounts for the slightly inferior sound quality.
