Gagnam Style has over 1.6 billion youtube views, the highest view count I could find for a Mozart composition was 35 million. Something wrong with the world today.

If you want to really get depressed, just look at the Top 40 (or whatever list).. I'd say 80% of them are totally produced (especially R&B) i.e. the concept is drafted, music written, band chosen, marketing put in place..they just then find a 'pretty face'. (And there is a directly inverse relationship with the ones who tweet themselves each hour and their talent).

I actually like a lot of pop music, but you're right. Top 40 is full of artists devoid of talent. There is plenty of good music being made but it requires time and effort to seek it out.

Hilarious. And absurd.

Why am I so argumentative lately?

Why can't the doctor give me some more of this opium stuff? It's good.

Shin splints have me immobilized. Could really use a wheel-chair.

Whoa Joyce, just whoa.

Perhaps the most brilliant prose passages I've ever come across. Mind is thoroughly blown. Now I see what all the fuss is about.

So, what did you read of his?

I'm three quarters of the way through A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Great stuff.

I really need to get off my laptop and go back to packing up the flat!

I can't seem to sleep. I should have gotten up in the night to turn on the air conditioner. Now I'll never know what dreams I could have had.

I feel out of the loop.

Well, you're standing outside in the rain, you papayahead. Here, I'll hold the door for you.

I'm wondering, is it just me or is this younger generational music mostly cry-baby-whining about relationships. It's all the same...waa waa waa. Previous generations weren't so saturated with that.
