As difficult as it maybe to comprehend, I , on occasion, have been accused of being a music snob. Yes, I know dear readers, it's scarcely believable isn't it, but it is true.
I'm telling you this because this week, my snobberry has reached new heights. I'll admit to hating most pop music and to not really understanding how anyone can enjoy the vapid warblings of Dustbin Beaver, Take That, Pitbull, Jason DeRuuuuuuuuuuuul-o and the seeming millions of others who assault my ears on a irritatingly regular basis.
This week though, Bieber is suddenly sounding like Nirvana, and Pitbull is sounding suspiciously like Chino Moreno. Take That, comparatively are Tool, Tricky and Sonic Youth all rolled into one.
Because this week, I heard "Swagger Jagger". It is -and I'm not joking here- the worst thing I've ever heard. Ever...............Evvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
It's also due to be No1 in the UK when the new charts come out. I wonder what that says about our society, or is the only thing it says is how far out of touch I am?
I don't know really, but if not being a music snob means listening to this I'm glad I'm a snob. Now, where are those Pink Floyd albums?
Prepare yourselves.

Couldn't agree more Fizzee. Another Simon Cowell clone. Utter bollocks!
I'd never heard of her before I was treated to her video. Cowell's involvement explains everything.
I was going to point a post of my own out here: http://nate-radio.blogspot.com/2010/11/music-literature-for-poor.html but then I noticed you'd already "amen brother'd" it!
Like two peas in a pod!
i'm sure the pendulum HAS to swing back again at some point.
i have to believe it.
or i'll go insane.
Andrea, I admire your optimism but I fear you may be disappointed. Sadly.
