Bass 10 -- Kids These Days Are So Stupid

A short, fast-paced, and tongue-in-cheek avant-garde number, this song represents Bass 10 at its rawest. The song was recorded as the result of an impromptu mic test before the December 18th concert that occurred when keyboardist Daniel Bromfield was experimenting with the drum machine settings. This is the fifth song on the album Animal Farm, following the somber, slow-paced St. James Infirmary.

This song is notable for being the only one on the album to have vocals by Rena Simon-Igra, Santiago Drexler, and Daniel Bromfield. Very little occurs instrumentally during the song, though the drum machine features very prominently here. It is also notable for being the only song on the album, as well as one of only two songs in the Bass 10 catalogue, to not include saxophonist, drummer and bandleader Garrett Kobsef. The other song to not have any contribution by him is An Unheard River, the closing track of the band's first release, the Your Assignment Is To Groove live album.
