Growing miniature plants is something I didn't know I was capable of 🥰

Texas Is The Reason-Blue Boy

Split single with The Promise Ring

#198: THE PROMISE RING/TEXAS IS THE REASON - “split”

this split 7” by two really big names of the 90s emo-rock scene was released on jade tree in 1996. i probably bought it in the sacro store. at least the price sticker (50 austrian schillings) suggests that.

although i think THE PROMISE RING's later work is fantastic (especially “wood/water”), i found the early releases nice, but somehow never 100% catchy. i feel the same way about the song on this 7”. “e. texas ave” is pleasing, but it doesn't really convince me.

TEXAS IS THE REASON have only released one album in total (“do you know who you are?"). and i've always really liked that one. “blue boy”, the song on the split, is also on the album.

the cover of the record corresponds pretty much exactly to the state of the art of the jade tree releases at the time. the enclosed lyric sheet contains the lyrics, a live photo each and details about the band and the recording (both songs were recorded at salad days studio (boston) with brian mcternan.

I watered all my plants 3 days ago so they could store enough food and water to be propagated. I found out the big pup growing at the base of my echeveria already had little roots growing which is super cool, and then I also noticed there were 4 more sprouting. I'll probably attempt my first beheading soon so they can get more light. I had planned on cutting more pads off but I think I'm still a little too nervous to go too crazy cuz I feel like I dont know what I'm doing lol. The other one in the pic is from the plant that I just learned is called a jade tree. Apparently theyre pretty easy to keep alive so thats reassuring
