I haven’t had too much time to write lately. We are preparing for some events at work, and every day I find more bugs in the new work website.
Unrelatedly, I’m finding that I am more and more fascinated with pop music. I spend the time in my car scanning for radio stations, trying to take in different kinds of music. I’ve discovered that a little bit of it is pretty good, while most is awful. Of course, I don’t know what the names or who the artists of any of the songs are since the deejays never tell you. They just assume you know. After all, they play most of the songs several times a day. The callers they broadcast are just as weird as the deejays.
I feel some ideas for a new mix are coming to me. I think it will start off with the quadrumvirate remake of Patti LaBelle’s Lady Marmalade. (Heh, one caller on the radio station pronounced the last syllable as “laid” instead of “lahd” like it is in the song. That was funny.) Reminds me of the old Syd Barrett tune, Baby Lemonade… only, not.
My home computer is on the fritz lately. I need to back everything up and reformat. Someone want to do that for me? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)?
sorry…. i have my own computer woes… i’ve been to compusa WAY too many times this week.
i can’t wake up to an alarm, so i have to have the radio, and the only two types of stations i get in my room are top-40-pop and country. so i go with the pop.
every morning they replay the #1 site from the night before at 6:50. my alarm goes off at 6:50. so the “lady marmalade” remake is the first thing i’ve heard in the morning for the past, oh, three weeks or so. 🙂
I try not too listen to the radio too much, or else even the good songs get annoying after they’ve been played and replayed to death.
Haven’t I been telling you for a while now that there are SOME new songs out there now that aren’t crap? You just never listen….;)
I never said there aren’t SOME new songs that aren’t bad. In fact there’s a LOT of new songs that aren’t bad. But here I wasn’t talking about new songs, I was talking about songs played on pop and modern r&b radio stations.
That’s what I meant….:)
that’s why I like XPN so much…they mostly play stuff not heard on pop stations, but when something good comes along, they do play it. So I get all of the singer/songwriter stuff, some blues, etc, etc, and every once in awhile a good pop or country (shh) song.
You’re never going to post again, are you? 🙂
Soon. Very soon now. I can feel it.
