I'm feeling very bitchy, so my suggestion is that you find and buy the Modern
Rock Song ep, go back to the first store carrying the ep in the bag from the
store in which you found it.  Locate the annoying, overbearing little
assistant and have the manager called over.  Ask the assistant again about the
existance of any B&S material released since TBWTAS.  When he says there is
nothing, pull out Modern Rock Song and ask him what the hell he thinks it is
-- a mirage?  Then ask the manager why he would possibly keep such an ill-
informed assistant on the payroll.  Point out that perhaps the store where you
DID find the ep is a better place to shop as it is better stocked, better
informed, and better staffed.  Stalk out with your head high and go home and
enjoy the ep.

Ok, maybe not.  But nice to think about doing in any event.  You know how we
Americans are :)  Made me feel better to type this out -- and I wasn't even
there in the first place.
