About the Artist
The Minor Thirds are Chris and Charlotte and sometimes others. They live in Portland, Oregon. Chris is on the tall side whereas Charlotte is on the blonde side. Really, they are not that difficult to distinguish.
Album Description
A pencil can be sharp and it can be used to write a mash note to some distant object of affection who will perhaps read it and then erase the unwanted text away or it can be used to poke a hole into your palm and draw blood or it can scribble out a long list of imagined signs and signals until it becomes dull with use or snaps and needs to be sharpened again which can only happen so many times until you are left with a stub that is useless for jotting down even a simple shopping list or a dream fading from memory and quickly dashed off in notes that you know are inaccurate but even as you get swept up in self-criticism you feel the dream escaping your once-trusty memory.

Seriously, you want this album.......2002-09-11
All semiconfusing conversations aside, this is probably the best album ever recorded down the street from a Walgreens, and certainly the best recorded down the street from the Walgreens on Belmont street. That is, the Belmont street in Portland, Oregon. It is, however, safe to say that it is the best album recorded down the street from the Walgreens on any Belmont street unless there is a Belmont street in Vatican City in which case it is not safe to say.
Playfully phrased and wittily (is wittily a word, and if so does it mean "full of wit" or "with wit" or something like that?) worded, this is definately an album to add to your collection, and absolutely definately a band to see live if you ever get the chance. I would have given it five stars had they covered The Girl From Ipanema.
