if sam hui were an indie kid of the 2000s, he might be singing my little airport's new song

my little airport
畢業變成失業 (graduation becomes unemployment)
sounds like: arumimihifumi, the pancakes, macdonald duck eclair

oh how i love my little airport! this hongkie band which debuted in 2004 keeps getting better with every release. their coming compilation on elefant records is not out yet, but they have already started releasing free demos of new songs on their website since late last year.

of the 3 demos released so far, my favourite is graduation becomes unemployment. over a swing beat, nicole sings about the difficulties of finding a job after graduating from school. to be sure, it is sad to want work but not being able to find any. but p's lyrics are really funny like the daily jokes that we crack among friends, a light-hearted approach towards a depressing situation. so the song goes "it's harder to find a job than to find a husband" and "who knows the job is to dig a hole in the hill" with lots of shoo do do dos!

i keep thinking that this is something which sam hui will sing if he is an indie kid living in the 2000s. a song that speaks to the masses or at least indie kids all over the world who are looking for jobs that they actually like, who don't feel ready to join the work force or sometimes just feel like staying home and skipping work.
