Comment:

After a whole year of looking at a beautiful girl from afar, I finally get the nerve (drunken, of course) to hit on her. We leave the party together, her having accepted my offer to walk her home. We take her friend with us. Friend runs away, we chase after her, I make sure she gets home safely, blah blah blah. Fast forward a few months. Last weekend was the first time I'd seen her since then. She remembered my name, I remembered hers. I struck up a conversation with her, sober this time. Talk, talk talk. She quotes lyrics. "What song is that?" I ask. She tells me it is Limp Bizkit. I tell her that they suck.

So I came home and made this mix tape for her -- 25 reasons why Limp Bizkit sucks. I have no idea where her musical tastes lie, but if it's in heavy crap like Limp Bizkit and Korn, I figured I couldn't go wrong with 45 minutes+ of loud rock. I threw in some regular ol' indie rock stalwarts on side B to even things out.

Whereabouts in Omaha are you from? Or, if not, how did you get into Bright Eyes/Cursive, etc?

I think you should have named the tape "Twenty-Five Reasons Why Limp Bizkit Sucks." Ha. Ditto to erika wingwalker. 'Sides, would you REALLY want to go out with someone who dug LB?
