This blog has been too earnest lately. Readers have been unreasonably patient as I grind out essay after essay.

Here’s a video called Ocean Avenue by Yellow Card.

It’s a pop song. The lyrics are banal (as usual), but the video manages to use the theme from Groundhog Day to good effect. Plus, the drummer knows what he’s doing and the rhythm line is postpunk perfection. (Be sure to “supersize” your window and the base line.)

Larger significance? None apparent at time of post.
