May. 8th, 2007 10:25 pmHey, so, instant opinion required: I'm making a mix cd for my little sister who just turned fourteen. The title of the mix is "Everybody Has To Have A Fourteenth Birthday" and so far it features such highlights as Ani Difranco "Untouchable Face" (fuck you, for existing in the first place/and who am I, that I should be vying for your touch?), Garbage's "Bad Boyfriend" (self-explanatory!) Rilo Kiley "A Better Son/Daughter" (and sometimes when you're on you're really fucking on / and your friends sing along and they love you / but the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap) Rob Zombie "Living Dead Girl" and, well, you get the picture. (There are also a whole bunch of songs that don't say fuck! I swear. KT Tunstall and Corinne Bailey Ray! Seriously.) I did resist putting on Poe "Not a Virgin" because, um, I do have some standards as to what I'm going to give to my little sister, right.
So my question is: I'm looking at the Dresden Dolls and I'm torn between "Bad Habit" and "Sing." I would go with "Sing", which I prefer, except "Bad Habit" is so much a 14yo song. But tell me, is it wrong to give your little sister a mix cd with a song about cutting on it? :-/ I JUST DON'T KNOW.
