SONG OF THE DAY (#186)

'monster,' by you say party! we say die!

i'm the first to admit that the whole post-punk-dance-alt-rock-party band is pretty much a dead genre. or least it should be. but hey, i'm just a guy with a blog. what do i know? there are some great P-P-A-R-P-Bs bands out there (franz ferdinand, for example), and some really crap ones (the bravery, for example). i'd say that those crazy canucks, a.k.a. you say party! we say die! fall somewhere in the middle. they have some really rockin' tunes and some that just leave me scratching my head and thinking 'why?' but i'll gladly take a couple of doozies for a couple of killer tracks. it's a fair trade, methinks. 'monster' happens to be one of those great tracks. it's a three minute and thirty eight second party.

and apparently the band is banned from the USA until 2011. how did this happen? apparently they tried to cross the border after their visas had already been denied. then they lied. a lot. mr. border patrol didn't take to kindly to that. so they have a petition set up. if you want to type your name on the petition, you can go here and do so. you can also get the full 'banned in the USA' story here.
