Who's on my musical shit list?
Anyone that's busy complaining about music they don't like in this qotw. We're fortunate enough to be alive in a period when you can access a stupendous amount of musical history, literally at a push of a button. There are thousands of internet radio stations catering to the most obscure tastes, myriad download sites offering a multiplicity of genres and a veritable shitload of dedicated music channels on the telly. It were all fields in my day.
Unless you're a fifteen year old whose self worth is entirely predicated on being cooler than the other spotty twats in your class (ostentatious displays of cultural preferences being a convenient substitute for a functioning personality and all that), stop fucking moaning and listen to what you like. It's hardly fucking difficult to find.

I'm a big fan
of the porn-groove background music from 1970s beastiality snuff movies. Where can I find that then, eh? eh? Without ending up on some list or other.

I did once watch Swedish Erotica Vol 3 or whatever as a teenager, with the legend that is Ron Jeremy rogering some woman to the theme of "Sale of the Century' being played on a Wurlitzer organ.

Easy enough to find
just make sure you use someone else's credit card to purchase.

Ha, excellent!
Especially as Wurlitzers only have two modes - Zany and Spooky.

I used to think of the musician in this, sitting back from composing their latest masterpiece, proud of what they had done, sending it off to various places to try and get signed and get in to the charts. Then, one day, getting a call from someone who thinks it would be PERFECT to use in their FILM!...Backdoor Sluts 9.

I've since been reliably told by a friend studying music that it is often composed especially for the film in question. I don't know why they had to mess with the dream like this.

Really?
I wasn't aware that we could choose the music played in elevators and grocery stores, used in commercials on tv, chosen for soundtracks for movies, or suddenly added to a decent radio station's playlist because apparently the program director is getting his balls off/nose filled by some drug-mongering record company tart.

I am overjoyed to hear that we can force venues to only hire decent bands instead of the fad-of-the-moment crap pushed by the PR machine. Please let us know how we can do that. And how can we get "classic rock" stations to play the once commonly-aired album tracks instead the same overplayed singles they always play?

The problem is, over-hyped bands become omnipresent because the recording companies have a lot invested in acts (not musicians) they feel they can control and that are designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator (Brittney Spears on a number of levels is a prime example -- crap songs with lyrics aimed at children, blatant pedophile sexuality aimed at boys and dirty old men, flashy stage acts/videos that distract from the alleged music, electronically processed "music" where the "musicians" and producers can be plugged in anonymously, thus eliminating any unintended stars). Lazy journalists and media execs buy into the hype because it beats going out and actually listening to musicians to find good ones. They then become omnipresent, and people that have no taste or, to be honest, don't know better because they've never really heard good music tend to accept what's been given to them.

There's also another reason to voice off against crap acts. I'd like to see the good ones invested in, promoted, and making money so they can surivive and continue producing good music. The hyped ones rarely survive beyond a season and are soon forgotten (Michael Bolton anyone? I notice his appeal disappeared when he cut his hair, so that says a lot about the strength of his alleged talent). I work at a volunteer public low power station (www.wvlp.org), and to see the middle-aged women in the organization try and get Michael Buble played and not make a connection between him and Bolton (or John Secada) was astounding.

That said, there I admit to seeing whining, posturing and troll baiting in the posts here. However, it's easier to ignore as it's limited to a small part of this website and won't be foisted on us while we're in line buying new shoes or driving and looking for something to listen to.

It would ruin this QOTW
If we couldn't slag of bands and so called artists. I'm enjoying it, so much material.
