Record of the Month
Figure [1]: "So Long, Astoria" by The Ataris

Michael To recommend this album, I waited a few months at first, because sometimes I end up liking something that later becomes embarrassingly cringeworthy. But after thorough consideration, I'm letting it out: "So Long, Astoria" by "The Ataris." A bunch of 18-year-old guys playing exactly how you'd expect 18-year-old guys to play, a kind of slightly serious fun-punk. Of course, I can't go to the concert; I'd be kicked out immediately as the old guy. I may quote: "Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up." Ah, youth! (No, I'm not having a midlife crisis).
