was in border's the other day when i witnessed a fascinating exchange between a young boy (7-8) and his mother. basically the kid wanted some new green day live cd/dvd, and his mom didn't want to pay $20 for such a package (i don't blame her). she suggested getting a soundtrack instead, since he could be exposed to many different bands, instead of just green day (not a bad suggestion for a young lad, i think). i started thinking to myself what cd i'd suggest for a young green day fan. the weird part is, i couldn't think of anything that would be suitable. nothing i listen to kicks enough ass or is catchy enough to pry someone with a short attention span away from green day. maybe modest mouse? i thought of new pornographers, but their name alone would make me hesitant to give it to a kid. perhaps the best thing to do, if i were in such a situation, would be buy the kid crooked rain, crooked rain. that's no fuckin' around right there.
unrelatedly, here's a song i randomly download from someone on soulseek who had a HUGE directory devoted to a band called advantage lucy. it's a 5.5 minute long upbeat rock song with female vocals. catchy. there's something strangely appealing about it. the file info tells me it's from their 2005 hello again EP.

Great!!! I wish you'd posted some more adavantage Lucy stuff, it's rather hard to find...
Haha, I was trying to find a site with lyrics of theirs and came across your blog. I saw what you posted and wanted to see what song it was, incidentally I was already listening to the exact same one. the song is called "Glider" it's also off a full album of theirs called "Echo Park".
I just came across them recently myself, they're really catchy. And all their songs are pretty laid back and chill. If you like that song I'd suggest finding the full album, it's quite good. also their album "Have a Good Journey" has some really good ones on it too.
