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.
