Mainstream Punk
Once the 3 musketeers were banished to sleepy-land friday night, the grumpy prince and I settled into the night; reading and cruising tv channels. We stumbled on a movie called SLC Punk (1999).
SLC Punk lead into a discussion on the influence of music on teen fashion/identity and that there seems to be no more politics in music - everything looks to be mainstream these days. Our discussion was mainly that since the death of grunge, kids all appear to look and dress the same.
We walked by my old high school the other day and all the kids looked like clones. Only one kid stood out as his look was sort of modern mod. There seems to be no music genre that's influencing the kids and how they dress anymore (imagine your daughter roaming the streets dressed like Lady Gaga!). The grumpy prince thinks this might be a sign of kids knowing who they are and what they stand for and not needing to wear it on their sleeves anymore.
As a pre-teen (sorry tween), I loved punk rockers, loved the fashion and some of the music (could never get into GBH) while the grumpy prince loved\loves 70's rock.
So this might be your only chance chics and dudes if you missed out on the punk movement of the late 70's early 80's; what's old is new again, so now you can be 'mainstream punk'....now where did I put my studded belt?

crushing on teen fiction - the mortal instruments
Small confession to make; after much research on amazon.com (love & trust the feedback comments) I put this next book series on my 'mother's day' list. But after I devoured 'crescendo' in a day and a half, I started to go through some intense reading withdrawal symptoms: fidgety hands, non stop pacing and severe crankiness.
The grumpy prince seeing my acute dismay offered me an early 'md' gift. So I actually started reading this series about a week ago. What series you ask? It's another 'trilogy' called The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare (a 'trilogy' but there is a book four 'city of fallen angels' released in April). To be honest it's a little different than I'm used to.
Book one 'City of Bones' had new concepts for me to wrap my mind around. This made it a slow read for me, but I enjoyed that for a change. I was able to put the book down to do things like...respond to a question, wash myself, eat a meal, or take care of the musketeers. But that slow build up turned into a wild, crazy, funny (lots of laughs) and intense ride filled with some not so obvious surprises.
I'm currently half way through book two 'City of Ashes' and the wild joyride continues!
