Black Balloon.  Either your mind went to the Goo Goo Dolls or depending on how associated with the real world you are, possibly even heroin.

I find there is a number of songs about heroin, not only that, they typically go unnoticed by people who just sing along on the radio. Goo Goo Dolls – Black Balloon is a wonderful example of this. However as most of you know I have a taste of music that isn’t so popular but has tons of potential.  I came across this band a couple of months ago and had it noted in my notebook that I should share them with the world.

They’re called ‘The Kills’.  Although I find their website extremely retarded as far as from a navigation stand point they have some interesting art work on there.  Here’s their site.

Several great songs on their site.  I also recommend youtube if you enjoy this video.  It’s called ‘Black Balloon’.  Several great songs if you enjoy this genre.
