I Love Music.
I can see the goodness in any genre, hip-hop, opera, dance, britpop, happy hardcore, thrash metal, a man with a set of spoons farting a heavenly chorus... it is all good. But. Oh but...

Music has taken a turn for the awful since about 2002 (or whenever Snowpatrol turned up). R and B used to be rhythm and blues, not its repetitive and boring. Hearing decent eighties songs getting ground through Bob Sinclar's casio keyboard or mangled by Cascada and those thighs has turned dance music away from it's disco-y roots and into the mainstream of shite.

Rihanna appears FOUR times on last week's top 40. FOUR. Years ago it was only the Gods of music like Lennon or Frankie Goes to Hollywood who managed things like that, now it is some big foreheaded, tone deaf bint with a voice that makes me want to push umbrellas(ellas - ellas) up her nose. Eminem has turned into a drunken piss, he was good at the start, a bit weak in the middle and is no dribbling to a disappointing finish. Owl City, OWL FUCKING CITY.! How in hell did they achieve a number one.? They should be forced to listen to that bag of crap repeatedly whilst being sanded by Damon Albarn and repeatedly kicked by the ghost of Jimmy Hendrix for daring to describe themselves as a band.

It isn't all bad. Every now and then a little chink of niceness appears but maybe it is my age, maybe it is the fact that evreytime I turn on a TV programme some bitch with a high pitched voice starts singing from an advert at me about treetops and eating picnics on a motorway because your car has broken down but it's ok as the world is better with yoooooooou. No love, it is better WITHOUT YOU. As in poke it. You lot make me want to go and kidnap Keane, shave them, superglue them to the rotting corpse of Keisa (I am not using stupid bloody dollar signs in names) and drag them along behind a truck spreading grit.

Burn them all. BURN THEM NOOOOOW.

ps Don't even get me started on Glee, Lady Gaga or The Script otherwise I will be here all night and possibly having a stroke at the same time.

Mangled through a Casio?
You're lucky if they were originally done on anything as decent as a Casio.

Rihanna
Her voice is BAD. My partner loves her, and why I agree she's striking looking (mainly due to the forehead), her voice is just horrible to listen to. Especially her song "Only Girl in the World" - it borders on painful to the ears and makes me wince.

It annoys me so much that she's classed as an "artist". How?? She stands there, sings songs people tell her to sing, and wears clothes people tell her to wear.

Boo and hiss.
