Love and miss this band so much. It's a damn shame he passed before they could tour with Soul Coughing. That would have been phenomenal.

FYI Morphine fans: There's a little Cambridge label called Cosmic that has a Mark Sandman solo 7" called _Like Swimming_ (not to be confused with the Morphine LP of same name), and a 7" from a duo called Supergroup, which consisted of Sandman and Chris Ballew from the Presidents of the USA.

Morphine songs were all over film soundtracks. They probably did very well by those royalties but they were touring worldwide too (Both usually equate to breaking even. Their songs were usually used in the background of scum, badasses (pardon) and the like, palying pool, etc. "Cure For Pain" did very well for them after the exposure from an indy film called "Spanking the Monkey." Mark Sandman, RIP, died on stage in Italy from a heart attack.
