The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Echosmith, "Cool Kids" via iTunes, (free) Single of the Week (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: If "Cool Kids" had been released in 1993 instead of 2013 (an impossibility, of course, since none of the siblings composing Echosmith had even been born in '93), it would have been one of the defining songs of my teens. 'Twas in middle school that I realized I'd never be one of the cool kids, no matter what I did, but it wasn't until college that I'd truly made peace with this. I've often been respected, sometimes admired, & occasionally I've even been popular, but never in my life have I been & nor shall I ever be cool.
