What Children Know...

My mate Chris in the UK just sent me the lasted CD from Scottish Indie group Biffy Clyro. "The Biffy," as fans call them, have been big in the UK and Europe for 5+ years, and made it over to the States once to play at SXSW in March 2005, a show which I saw.

This year, for reasons unknown to music fans everywhere, Biffy Clyro decided to make their new CD more mainstream... well, more like... or exactly like... The Foo Fighters.

Today, my 10 year old son, who secretly gets on my computer while I sleep to listen to the music I feature on my podcast, comments to me on his own and without knowing any of the history I just laid out in the last two paragraphs, that he likes The Biffy because they sound all American but with accents.

Yes, they do. Sadly, another great Indie band goes American to sell more records here. Of course, my son promptly imported three songs for his own compilation CD. Hmm, I think, as I wrestle my psyche....


I am currently Puzzled
I am listening to Biffy Clyro -- Puzzled, that's the name of the CD and my mood.
