8 minutes, 50 fairly recent pop songs all completely and distinctly different.

Did you mean to say, "Who say's there's no diversity no more"?
 
Thanks for reminding me why I am glad I was a teenager in the 60s.

Sorry, I meant no moe...

I swear.... I don't get most of todays popular music. I honestly try too. I make myself listen (now and then). The whole urban thug culture thing just offends me. It is like people take pride in being ignorant and/or dishonorable. I think I was born a century or two too late.

Then again I saw The Civil Wars Unplugged this week. Awesome, two voices one acoustic guitar or the acoustuc guitar and a piano on some songs... the downside, they brokeup (for now). They make two voices and one instrument sound like a full soundstage.

Don't even get me started on Beiber. I am appalled that my grand daughters like him. I expect him to crash and burn in a year or two, Disney style.

Very timely JB, I was listening to the radio this afternoon, and thinking 'why is he playing the same song over and over..?'

Seen this?

the Civil Wars rule but unfortunately they split up - sucks
 
a new band I love that you may get a kick out of - Alabama Shakes  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le-3MIBxQTw
 

My favourite pop song of recent years;

Green Green Grass - I Am Arrows 
 
Andy Burrows is proving himself to be a fine songwriter after leaving Razorlight, like his stuff a lot.

  Some dumbarse thought it would be a good idea to get Beiber to play half time at the Grey Cup. Yeah... middle aged Canadian football fans are TOTALLY into the Beib. 

He got booed. Gordon Lightfoot saved the day.

Oh man... just watched the first couple minutes. Freaking horrifying. What's even scarier are the no souled corporate schlong gobblers saying how awesome it is in the comments.

THIS... is why real musicians can't catch a break in today's industry. You either have to be a stripper, a criminal or a ponce to hit it big.
