Default popular music and old age

I must be getting old.....

I've been at home all week (supposedly straightening the house out), and instead of putting a CD on for some background noise, I've had MTV etc on for a change. This is a rarity in our house - I don't think we've had it on once in the 10 years I've been here.

I've now got 3 songs stuck in my head (Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and Scissor Sisters) becasue they seem to be on in a continuous loop. Pink's also in that group, but the tune is so bland it hasn't stuck.

I've also discovered that Sandi Thom is a bit thick (punks NEVER wore flowers in their hair - they were disctinctly anti-hippy). But then I'd never heard of her before yesterday.

On r&b tracks, the boys stand still and mumble whilst lots of girls with no clothes on dance around them - seems to be a broadcasting regulation. On the more rocky side, its usually a bloke sitting on the edge of a bathtub with his head in his hands for 3 minutes. All the dance tracks just sound the same with some swirly graphics going on and the odd bit of thievery of proper music. And if I hear another angsty yodelling female.....

I'm back off to listen to the fridge squeaking - far more entertaining than that lot! (relatively)
