Pedro the Lion Winners Never Quit Artist Home Page Check price at Amazon.com

Label: Jade Tree Released: 3/1/2000

Pedro the Lion reminds me of playing at a music conference in Vancouver a few years ago. We'd been on tour for a while and I was feeling sorry for myself. After our show I met up with a girl I'd been friends with for a few years and she decided she'd lift my spirits by introducing me to Hayden, who was playing down the street. As his set ended she brought me up to the stage and we exchanged a few words then stood around staring awkwardly at each other until he left to wrap cables. I felt no better so my friend and I sat down and got drunk. To make a dumb story dumber, we ended up going back to her apartment and having sex, I think. The next day I felt infinitely worse and so I did what I usually did in those types of situations, I left and never talked to her again. You might be asking yourself what this has to do with Pedro. Well, Winners Never Quit sounds an awful lot like a Hayden album and feels sad and mundane like life. I love shit like that.
