Song #3 for last day of class
I play music for my students while they fill out evals. In honor of the fact that, in the end, I don’t know squat about the lives of 20-something women, I like to include something that I find inexplicable that the kids are listening to. So, natch, Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend:
Are they really still listening to this song? Youth is wasted on the young.
Last semester I did a Magnetic Fields song (Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side), Be Good Tanyas (Littlest Birds), New Pornographers (Bleeding Heart Show), and Beyonce (All the Single Ladies). And they told me that I played weird music + Beyonce.
