Cop Shoot Cop: another one I missed the first time

Cop Shoot Cop seemed like a band I would be into around 1990, but I was just becoming aware of them at the same time that my finances and free time petered out and put an end to my longtime music-buying habit.  And too bad, because I've finally gotten around to listening to them and I love it!  They sound like a cross between Morphine and Rage Against the Machine, with a little Foetus popping in from time to time.

Cop Shoot Cop left a decent-sized catalog that should keep me busy for about a week.  Singer/bassist/bandleader Tod A. went on to form Firewater (I learned), which promises to be fertile ground for further listening.  Sounds like he went in a Nick Cave-y direction.

I'll forgive that little Smash Mouth riff there, at least it's not from the heinous "All Star."  (And the ol' Wikipedia says it's lifted from a 1966 Perrey and Kingsley album anyway.)

Tod A. put Firewater on hold in January 2005 to walk the earth and blog about it, and his blog posts are quite detailed and thoughtful, but it's been nearly a year since the last one.  On the other hand, the last login date for the Firewater MySpace page is today.  I wonder what's up.
