Tiny Masters Of Today Weigh In On The Presidential Election

thumbnail icon: Tiny Masters Of Today Weigh In On The Presidential Election

The Brooklyn kids in Tiny Masters Of Today are too young to vote, but no matter: Siblings Ivan and Ada have put together a noisy bedroom anthem fronted by samples from John McCain and Sarah Palin speeches. Their thoughts on the track and the election:

This election is really important. John McCain and Sarah Palin represent more of the same ignorance that has made the last 8 years really bad. Words are important, and this song is made up of other people's words. They are twisted around but we don't feel bad because politicians do that all the time. Grab it before someone sues us or something!

They're 14 and 12, remember. Shame on you, older people who don't do anything. In other news, the Tiny Masters are finishing up their followup to last year's Bang Bang Boom. Expect it in 2009. For now, download "La-La Land" and check out the creepy McCain/Palin gif at the band's website.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna go ahead and at least obtain my political analysis from people who are old enough to vote.

This isn't supposed to be a clever jab at their age, I'm just really sick of punk kids telling me how awesome democrats are. Honestly, you're all crazy. Republican, democrat. I don't give a shit, just stop taking my money and yelling at me from the TV.

Also their site looks like it's as old as they are. That's all I got.

Well, shockingly enough, 12 year olds have more insightful things to say than commenters on this blog! I swear, what a bunch of whiners. Just because they were 4 doesn't mean they arent right. Of course they have no idea what they are talking about, thats half the appeal.

Damn kids!

Just because you say there is insight doesn't make it true. I'm yet to see anything short of gimmick and immaturity. And the gimmick is the immaturity.

Frankly, I don't usually ("usually" not "ever") because they don't yet have the same investment and fear staked into their heart that a tax paying, draft eligible, minimum wager has. It's just not there. They don't get it and frankly, I'm glad they don't. Why the fuck should you have to loose your innocence at 14?

Like I said, you're all crazy.
