Louise Crawford writes on OtBKB about her son’s band: “They’ve been practicing for months but he’d made it clear that he’d tell us when he was ready for us to come to a rehearsal … Cool and Unusual Punishment is the name … they rehearse every Friday night in the drummer’s apartment. The drummer’s parents are extremely good natured about the noise. They actually keep the drum set in the living room.”
“The people in their apartment building are good natured too. Apparently last week they called while the group was rehearsing a song called ‘Where is My Mind?’ by the Pixies. the drummer’s mother came into the living room holding the telephone: ‘The woman downstairs would like to speak with you,’ she said ominously. The kids got nervous, of course, sure that she was calling to complain about the noise. But it turned out that she loves the song … and just wanted the band to play it again.”
“It would be virtually impossible for the band to rehearse in our building what with Mr. Persnickity downstairs … “
