You'll Know This Blackboard Lacks a Piece of Chalk

This song has been playing in my head on a seemingly endless loop for the past two weeks. I don't know if it's the deliciously nervous pulse or the sentiment of defiant alienation, but it certainly fits the bill. This is Stan Ridgeway (then recently ex of Wall of Voodoo) and Police sticksman Stewart Copeland doing their thing for the soundtrack of Coppola's "Rumble Fish." It's a great song (and a great movie). I still have vivid memories of my sophomore year of college when my roommate Dave and I would put this on and bop around the room like a pair of idiots. It's great. Play it loud.
