Topic: The State of Music Today

As I sit on the couch, unemployed and understimulated, I flip through more than six music channels on my quest to find something appealing.

First there is MTV. I needn't tell you that MTV is no longer about the music.

Next is VH1. The show is "When Disco Ruled The World." Moving on...

Fuse. I like Fuse. Alas, it's a new System of a Down video. The song is "Lonely Day." Have you heard it? You've got to be fuckin' kidding me! I'll get to that later...

MTV Hits is up next...It's Alicia Keys. She's amazingly talented and she's gorgeous. No real complaints. Then it's a commercial...

MTV Jams. Uh, no.

VH1 Classic. Bruce Hornsby? Who?!

I don't even bother with country music channels.

And now begins my tirade. I won't be the first, nor the last, to bitch about MTV.

This new SOAD song is positively wretched. "This is the most loneliest day" is repeated throughout the song. Are you sincerely entertained by such horrible English? There are die-hard fans out there who are so hungry for anything from their idols that they'll eat any and all of the shit that they put out there.

Nearly all hip-hop and rap is the same anymore. The lyrics are either "Hey, bitches, look at all this stuff I can afford" or "Let's dry-hump on the dance floor."

How can the masses be so easily pleased by music with such little substance?

Fall Out Boy. Dear god(dess). Does this guy have a mental problem? There's no reason why he shouldn't be able to pronounce things correctly.

Rawwwwr....

I'm not wearing a bra:




I updated my "Europe" photo folder with my pictures of Pompeii:


I've still got a lot of photo editing to do...meh.



Still looking for a job...still broke.

I even went so far as to call my staffing company to see if they had any temp positions. The lady told me that even they are having trouble finding jobs for their associates. Is no one hiring right now?



Someone ate all the cheese.
