Re:Borrowers Are Going Underwater on Car Loans

I'm underwater on my car loan. But my credit rating was low and I got to get a new car without anything down, extended payments. The interest rate is a bit high, but now my credit score is good. It works out. At least I got a car that will last as long as the loan.

Air BnB is terrible for smaller, more touristy towns as well, like Traverse City, MI where housing prices and rents have skyrocketed. Used to be able to rent a granny flat as a service worker...those are all Air BnB'd now.

First of all you have three amazing musicians and an impeccable performance.
The song starts nice and easy and quickly ramps up to the chorus. The chorus is upbeat, forward-thinking, borrowing from the trends of the day of ska/punk stylings.
The bridge is a nice musical breather that lifts up --- even has a synth riser sound and stop before a drop. This technique is used a lot in dubstep today. Back into a chorus with more elements tossed in adding more energy.
The tag and outtro are a nice, afterglow, kind of feel with new melodic and lyrical content. As if the climax had been reached and it's time for a cigarette.
That's what makes it great. It's musical sex.
