In its original form, Harry Nilsson's The Point! was an animated TV-movie that told the story of Oblio, the only boy in the Pointed Village that did not have a point on top of his head. The fanciful tale of nonconformity and ultimate redemption in the Village speaks for kids and all imaginative souls who feel adrift in an overly rigid world populated by squares, straights, and other things defined by their points and sharp edges. Nada Surf, closest to Nilsson genetically among the musicians on this compilation, add pep and a certain Zombies-esque vocal style to the boy-and-his-dog hit me and my arrow. Available now from Amano Recordings (all proceeds from the sale of this compilation benefit 826 NYC, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills).
