MP3 of the Day

On this day in 1979, the film Over the Edge received a limited theatrical release. Matt Dillon's very first movie followed a group of teenagers living in a planned community called New Granada. With nothing to do in this suburb, the kids turned to substance abuse and petty crime as a way to kill their boredom, but their actions fell on deaf ears, as their parents were too concerned with pursuing wealth to actually understand the reasons why their kids were acting up. Eventually, the kids violently rebeled against their parents and the authorities, in an uprising that resulted in fiery mayhem at the junior high school. The film was inspired by actual events that took place in Foster City, California in the early 1970s, and it was also the inspiration for the music video for the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. Today we have the song Just Inside a Week by the band NEW GRENADA.
