My freshman roommate just reminded me of this song and how we used to wake up to it every morning. I’m so excited to have rediscovered it. There’s something about the lyrics and the juxtaposition (god I hate that word) of talking about punk rock but not being a punk rock song that it is so amazing. I can’t wait to listen to this as I stroll through the Common on my way home from work tomorrow. Wait…why wait until tomorrow? I’m totally going to get up and dance to it right now.
UPDATE: Dammit. I always pick the links that don’t work. CLICK HERE to watch the video.

Speaking on links that don’t work… http://bit.ly/fZ9De, that’s not going anywhere. Ha ha ha, yeah, just thought you’d like to know. I love how music can be so strongly associated with one time/place. “South Detroit” was on the radio today, and now whenever I hear that song all I can think about it (1) Senior Week and (2) crazy Stephanie and her bizarre naming-system.
Umm, I don’t know what’s going on in NE but the link’s working for me. But maybe it’s the blog gods just playing one of their never-ending tricks on me.
Did I tell you I’ve been in trouble twice since I moved to Boston for this blog?
That’s funny about “South Detroit” because I think of the same two things every time I hear it, which is actually quite frequently. I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad thing.
