Jeff laughed as loud as he possibly could, the obnoxious sound billowing throughout the Escalade over the anthemic, in-your-face rock song that Joey, Ben, and Alyssa were jamming to. And when I say "jamming", I mean hardcore, like I might do with Ellie to a song we both couldn't get out of our heads – including screaming the words at the top of our lungs, head-banging, and playing a variety of air-instruments; Ben and I were prodigies when it came to air-guitar simultaneously doing vocals, Alyssa dubbed herself the official singer of our air-band by holding tight to her air-microphone, and Joey drummed his fingers dramatically against his air-drums, which he eventually realized by banging them against the steering wheel of his car. "Ben, why the hell do you make that goofy face every time you strum your imaginary guitar?"

"For your information, dill-weed," Ben turned around in his seat behind Joey to face the very back row of the car, which we crammed seven people into, encouraging a really tight, intimate setting, "I'm the air-bassist." I turned to look on at the conversation, ignoring Alyssa as she paid no mind to the conversation, contented by screaming into her imaginary microphone, yanking the invisible wire dramatically. "And I want to see you do much better than me."

"You're wrecking the ambiance of the song, asshole," Jenna agreed, shoving Jeff hard against the window from where she sat crammed between him and Rob. "And Ashley has to go soon, which means she's taking the CD with her." While we were out together that night, a bit of shopping had been done on everyone's part, and I came out of the night with a couple CDs and shirts. And yeah, I know CDs might sound really primitive to some people, but no electronic music will ever replace the joy I feel tearing open the plastic case and holding the physical product in my hand.

One of my more favored bands had come out with a new album the day before, and I had to grab it from the entertainment store in the mall. I grabbed it from the rack, along with my copy of their previous album that Ellie had wrecked by not putting it back in its case, while almost everyone else looked on at the new releases from pop and hip-hop artists, the faces of the people you hear on all the popular radio stations. Unexpectedly, Ben and Alyssa (the red-head who always stuck around "Blondie") gasped at the sight of the case, and grabbed a copy of the new CD for themselves, squabbling about how amazing the first single the band had already released was, though it was massively different from the sound of their first album. It was only one of the things that took me by complete surprise, which was followed up by them both turning to me and asking me what I thought of the song. We talked tirelessly about the band and all their glory, and they turned green with envy when I whipped out my cell phone and showed them the photos I took when I met the band when they played at Collage Street Music Hall a couple weeks before.

When they were able to hold up a conversation about the group using specifics like the band member's names and song titles and such like that was one of the very first surprises I'd gotten that night. Seeing two of the most popular kids in my grade rambling off the lyrics of the band's newest single was a blow like I couldn't believe, since I never imagined anybody like them listening to music like that. Sure, the band had some party songs, but most of their music was a bit on the darker side, more rock-like and about the lower parts of life. I never really any of it to be much their style, but they came through in a way I didn't expect.
