WHY TODAY'S KIDS ARE COOKED | THEY CAN'T READ AND ITS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT, KAREN

I dated a woman who put her son in front of a tablet or Xbox while she ran out to the club all night. She couldn't even wait until it was their dad's weekend to have them. She would just straight up sit her son in front of a tablet, run off to the Los Angeles nightclubs until 4AM, and then consider herself a primary candidate for "Mother of the Year." Her son was in middle-school and still couldn't even fucking read. The poor kid was neglected.  Both of her children from her past relationship were in special needs classes because they were not stimulated or educated at home. What the fuck did you think was going to happen when you put a device aimed at adults (a computer) in front a child with unrestricted and unregulated access. You only have yourself to blame for your own piss-poor parenting skills, or lack-thereof. Child neglect. Google it. Meanwhile, I was reading Michael Crichton books when I was in jr high.

Who Did It Better? - MxPx vs The Cootees

MxPx released the song "I'm OK, You're OK" on their 1998 album Slowly Going The Way Of The Buffalo, but did you know that this is actually a cover song? Yup, MxPx straight up ripped this song off... of themselves. The Cootees was a side project featuring all three members of MxPx. They technically released the song first on their 1995 album Let's Play House!

Both versions are nearly identical in terms of structure and arrangement. The MxPx version has a beefier bass and a higher production value. The Cootees version has more of a raw DIY feel, and features an interesting guitar riff outro. I also think that the background vocals pop out more in The Cootees version.

Do you prefer one version over the other or do you like them both?
