The 'Kids' soundtrack introduced me to two bands: The Folk Implosion and Slint. I immediately liked Implosion and found it odd that it was Lou Barlow's project - I had just seen Sebadoh live and wasn't into it... first off this disc is in the wrong category, TFI aren't really funny - their sound can be odd, but not funny. Secondly, I feel you could grab all of the implosion's discs and merge all the best tracks into one great cd... there are an equal number of good and poor tracks, which is a shame because when the band is on, they're on.
