It was junior year of high school. I was bright-eyed and bushy tailed. I was devoting myself single-mindedly to my studies in a way that will probably never again be replicated. For the only time in my life, I tried my hardest and came up short. Also, I began listening to Cloud Cult.


"Cloud Cult is an experimental indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota led by singer/songwriter Craig Minowa.

In 1997, lead singer Craig Minowa formed Earthology Records on his organic farm, powered by geothermal energy and built partially from reclaimed wood and recycled plastic. This nonprofit label uses only recycled materials and donates all profits to environmental charities.^[4] The band also tours in a biodiesel van." - Wikipedia

"Cloud Cult has two professional painters on stage for the band's live shows. The paintings are created live during the set and auctioned off at the end of the show." -Cloud Cult website

They are one of my favorite bands. Their last three albums have all been spectacular.
