Comment:

This is the second in a series to help those either just starting, or currently in the process of their high school career who tend to have geekish tendencies. Here I have compiled a cd of music to help you avoid being beaten up by those who believe anything without distortion is unmanly. Here you'll find songs that are not at all objectionable to the average geek, yet at the same time, don't scream "FLUSH MY HAIR" to any jocks that may be lurking nearby. The key to this is to find bands that have the distortion necessary to camoflage their quirky lyrics and catchy beats. Weezer and Harvey Danger are good choices. Daniel Johnston and Adam and His Package are not. See?
