Trampolene, "The Boy that Life Forgot"
Trampolene is an excellent live band--with a weirdly mesmerizing mix of grungy indie rock and spoken word interludes--but until now, their actual records have been a bit patchy. "The Boy that Life Forgot," however, is an indie classic in the making, a piano ballad that turns into a raw rock anthem about one minute in. I'm not sure which part I love most: the crunching, whipsaw guitar, the lyric "Please insert your meaningless life into the chip and PIN device," or the pleading refrain, "Why am I this way?"
