another ep with 4-tracks from the halmstad band. on this ep we find what is - in my opinion - their best song and one of those songs that goes with you for the rest of your life.
'my academic beard' is fucking amazing. here's the lyrics (or what i understand of it):
having moved to the big city / and attending the university / i tried to grow me a beard / cause i thought would be cool if i looked academic / but the other they shot me down / at my old high school people played metal fusion jazz / me, i got depressed / that made me wanna smoke too much grass / and now the art students are competing 'bout who is most arty / and all of their hip partys they keep throwing all the time / but you're cool you'll skip school die trying / you say there's nothing nietzsche could teach ya / there's nothing nietzsche could teach ya / you're such a great thing girl...
this ep also features their most popular song 'black minds, white lies'.
also have to mention the pretty good 'i lost my virginity to the voice of per gessle' (the male part of roxette).

You're right! "My Academic Beard" is a song that will go with you for life. I've listened to it for over a year now, traveling and living in different cities and it's always the perfect arrival song before landing.
