Pray, pray, pray that none of you guys ever have to deal with the NYC middle school selection/application/admission process.  Its totally insane how intimidating the whole process can be.  They seriously have a middle school for everything you could think of, automotive schools, law schools, performance arts schools, dance schools, christian, catholic, jewish, orthodox jewish, baptist, international?, journalism, drama, music, technology, etc, etc, etc.  Its great to have so many options, but at the end of the day, its middle school right.  You’ve got math, science, english, history, PE.  And each one of these school all have their own rigorous admission requirements.  Test scores, auditions, teacher recommendations, essays, interviews.  I mean, come on, lets not get too fancy here.  I know what you’re thinking, I’m way too old to go back to middle school, but I feel like its never too late.

This is long overdue, I know.  Maybe we can get some good discussion with this one.  I’m going to skip the background for these kids, so here’s some tracks from the most recent Yeah Yeah Yeahs EP, released on Interscope on 7/24/07.
