It has 74 minutes of bizarre and innovative music from bands all over the country. The super nifty thing about it is that it's only 2 dollars (and that includes shipping!).

How exactly does one characterize the > supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? don't try to explain it. just put Live Noise in the CD player and have them listen to it. or take them to a free concert. if they refuse both of those without an explanation, try this: "Think of your favorite band.

Now give them musical instruments. Now take away their instruments but let them keep singing. Now have them do something serious. Now have them be funny again. Give them a topic and watch them make a spontenous song about it. Repeat. That's Moxy Früvous." or, if they want something more musically based: "Take 20% of what you'd hear on the local alternative rock station, 20% of what you'd hear on a classic rock station, 50% of what you'd hear on non-commercial radio, and 10% of what you'd see on Comedy Central.
