knowing about a band before everyone else does feels so good, especially when people are impressed that you've heard of them, or you call it and say they are gonna be big. but then it sucks  because they get overplayed and too popular, and they arent your little secret anymore.
i was watching follow me around with my friends new years morning, and everyone loved this one song but didnt know what it was.  then i said "oh yeah, this is 'dont cry out' by shiny toy guns".  yeahhhhhh. so now my friends love my hidden treasure.
