Hey, do you mean the 14 Iced Bears? If so, I thought they were around a lot longer than the Field Mice, etc., and their sound is much different...very acid-tinged, psych inspired jangly indie pop, circ. 1985-89. Is there in fact another back called _13_ Iced Bears? Anyhow, that was my first post and I was out of the nursery quite a while ago and I just haven't gotten around to posting. I am from Massachusetts, so if there are an other listees from the area, give me a hollar! cheers joseph

Allou Lawrence,
Are you talking about the 2 cd compilation album entitled "Where'd You Learn To Kiss That Way?" If so, then it is quite a good purchase ... whether or not one is a Field Mice fan. It contains essentials and other what-nots and comes armed with detailed liner notes written by Claire Wadd of the legendary Sarah records. Among the Sarah set, Field Mice is up there (for me) along with Keith and Paul's Blueboy and the much missed Orchids. They have a very very fantastic way of concocting pop songs and singer Bobby Wratten's lyrics are as stark, oftentimes depressed, visual, and moving as those of Belle and Sebastian's. An output of them would surely be worth someone's while. Also check out their offshoot groups like the Northern Picture Library, Another Sunny Day, Thirteen Iced Bears and the Trembling Blue Stars if you have the chance. They can compliment the imageries that can be painted by an output like, say, If You Are Feeling Sinister. Ciao.
the tragic dreamer,
