I first heard Fun and Games during the fall semester of my freshman year of college, when a guy from Atlanta who lived downstairs from me in my freshman dorm couldn't stop raving about it, and about the Connells more generally. The band was a sensation on college radio at the time, and were all the rage in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. They were "fratty," as another buddy of mine has said more recently. Yet what strikes me, listening to this album all these many years later, is how sweet, melodic, and sensitive these alternative rock songs are--sort of the antithesis of the fraternity scene of their origins. The Connells were never brilliant lyricists, but they more than make up for it with memorable melodies and guitar hooks you'll carry around with you for the rest of the day.
