Happy 2026! This year it has been three decades since I left my small hometown for a much larger university town. Which meant I was finally able to see decent bands play live, the first of which were Dunedin, New Zealand’s The Chills. I knew only one song, Pink Frost, that someone from Canada had put on a mixtape. I don’t remember much of the concert and it took me years to fully appreciate The Chills, but this dreamy psychedelic song with its solid drum rhythm (as the song’s Wikipedia entry rightly calls it) remains my favourite song of theirs.
