Something I noticed the other day when my daughter asked if she could listen to music on the way to school.

That's a little frightening. I think this is how the cults win.
ReplyDeleteAlso: Sixteen Stone is now on my wish list (next to Wheezer and Nevermind).
Those are three fantastic albums. I remember Weezer in particular as being the first album on which I liked every single song.
ReplyDeleteI only have to start with this:
ReplyDeleteBA HA HA HA HA HA.
No, but seriously... yeah. I think I tend to agree with Susan about the whole cults thing. The other day I actually caught myself nodding my head along to a song that I swore I couldn't stand when it was on the radio all the time a couple years ago.
I was confused, and a little frightened.
I think once you get over the whole kneejerk "THIS is what modern music is coming to?!" reaction, it becomes easier to enjoy fluffy meaningless pop music for what it is. Having the song go firmly out of vogue seems to help with that.
ReplyDelete"Having the song go firmly out of vogue seems to help with that."
ReplyDeleteTrue! Also learning how to play a song on the guitar instantly increases it's enjoyability. I once liked "Mmmm Bop" for that reason alone.
Hah! So true. Funny how it takes less listens to rocket a catchy song your kid loves toward love yourself.
ReplyDeleteSomeday I have to show you my four-axis cool/lame obscure/famous chart. It really can cover so many things.
Also, was I not reading your blog yet this late in 2010? If not, I totally blame Susan. There, I said it.
