Yahoo! News - Michigan's 'Hold' Music Gets Much Hipper
Hip? Last time I knew, music from the 50's and 60's was not 'hip.' In fact, I think I'd rather hear some crappy elevator music that I don't recognize than an uber-shitty version of a good beatles song or an uber-shitty version of a bad freaking Beach Boys song.
Then again, now that I've memorized the Capital One hold music-and it is truly awful, this I guarantee you-maybe it's time for a change.
When you come down to it, I guess any music that is super-popular is going to suck. It's just the law of humanity. Mainstream musical taste is only as good as the lowest common denominator.
Case in point? Britney Spears. Need I say more?
I am a geek, through and through. I bought a badass laptop from my friend Dan, but as you may have seen in my Geeks section, it didn't go so well when I managed to blow up the partition the second day I had it. Huzzah for exploration!
So I've been a little busy over the past week trying to fix it, I apologize. As for today, I am lazy and there doesn't seem to be much worth ranting about or mentioning. At work, I spent an hour fixing my Palm Pilot, and I can confirm (as if you care) that it is working after minor screen surgery and a lot of annoying manipulation. See, I really am a geek. But hey, it pays to be a geek when you can fix your own stuff instead of shelling out "mad bank" for a new palm pilot/computer/whatever. Ask a mac owner what he did when his mac broke. First he'll say some garbage about "it never breaks" which is inherently untrue. Then he'll tell you he had to go to some charges-your-firstborn mac store to get it fixed. Then ask a PC geek what he did when his PC broke. He fixed it on his own!
Ugh. This entry is lame.
Maybe I'll get around to ranting about the most recent carb craze. But maybe not today, because I'm in "extreme laziness" mode.
