Sometimes a bad movie isn't all that bad if, as part of its soundtrack, a song really makes it up for you.

I think that particularly applies to a movie I've seen lately. It's called Employee of the Month. It focuses on events that happen at a Costco-like store (and indeed filmed in a Costco store), where two co-workers, Zack (Dane Cook) and Vince (Dax Shepard), compete for the affection of the new cashier, Amy (Jessica Simpson). The script is very badly written, it's really neither a comedy nor a love story.

However, somewhere towards the end of the plot, a song got played that really caught my attention. Looking it up afterwards, it turns out to be one by a band I've never heard of called Highwater Rising. The song is called Wasted Days.

I dug up the whole Internet looking for this song but couldn't find it. So I looked up the song on Last.fm and requested it from some of the people who recently listened to it. Never thought it would work, but I got a message back from a lovely person who uploaded the song for me and sent me a link. What a lovely gesture!

So here is the song. I think you'll pretty much enjoy it. It's pretty laid back and easy to listen to. I especially love the guitar and drum works on this one.
