So, my I-Trip died recently, which means while I wait for my new one to get delivered I'm stuck listening to the radio on my journey to and from work. I haven't listened to the radio (apart from Short, Fast, Loud and 3 Hours Of Power) in about 6 years and all I can say is HOLY SHIT, things have gotten worse.
JJJ is the station of choice, simply because the drive time banter with "The Doctor" is top notch, but my god the music is fucking terrible. Indie rock needs to take its extensive collection of cardigans and fuck right off, Oz hip hop (note: not all Aussie hip hop is bad, you know what I mean, Big Day Out endorsed shit hop) is actually fucking embarassing and my god, this electro/dance/dildo parade shit makes me want to kick myself in the dick until I pass out.
The only station with any tunes that are remotely decent is Gold 104, but their DJ's are a bunch of boring, middle aged cunts.
WHAT A PREDICAMENT!
Maybe we can petition to get "The Doctor' and his cohorts to move to Gold 104, then we'd get the best of both worlds.
On to a new topic. The popularity of a genre of music moves in waves, and the good folk in my office today decided that sports metal is due for an epic comeback. THis was triggered by one of the fine people I work with telling me how fucking good Limp Bizkit were when they saw them (needless to say I was shocked).
I think everyone should go and dig out their V.O.D., Fear Factory, Korn and Deftones records and re-live the glory days. While you're at it, grow a sports metal beard, they're great!
If you do not know what these look like, check out the picture of Biohazard main-man Evan Seinfeld. Evan is also married to a porn star who only does girl on girl films and starred in HBO's "Oz", so the dude clearly knows what's up.
Good tours over the next couple of weeks!
