Comment:

For Christmas I'm giving my 15 year old cousin a copy of Michael Azerrad's "Our Band Could Be Your Life" along with this mix CD. I don't think I'll come across to him as some old guy pushing his old fogey tunes since we've had some good discussions on music recently. I guess I'm hoping that this will help along on the inevitable segue from punk to post punk/indie rock. I picked two tracks from each band represented, trying to stick to songs mentioned in the book. I think it works pretty well. Now here's to hoping he'll finally take down that Blink 182 poster that's in his room.
