    Not so much a side project, I guess, as a Green Day alter-ego; much like The Dukes Of Stratosphear were for XTC.

     

    The guys have become a 60's garage rock band, and I've heard it's pretty good. Any of y'all heard the record? What are your poinions? Am I going to regret buying it as a gift for my GD-obsessed 9-year-old?

  2. Exile In Guyville was amazing, and still is.

    And it has nothing to do with the fact that the songs are about BJs, they're just great songs. Of course, I'm about her age and was going through a break-up at the time the record came out, so it resonated. Still does. Even if I do have a Y chromosome and I'm happy now.

     

    Also, she may not be a great guitar player, but her approach to the instrument (especially as it pertains to songwriting) is pretty cool. I love the parts that she writes.

     

    Whoever made her polish up her act should be fired. Now.

     

    And, to Louie's point about the hype: I guess I just missed all that, because when I heard the record, I just heard it with no expectations whatsoever. All I knew was that this was some chick from Chicago who was friends with Urge Overkill (who I liked) and that the record was produced by the drummer from Shrimp Boat (who I love).

     

    As I said, it knocked me out.
