beautiful skies as a matter of fact, the sunsets were purple and red and

"Adult pop" radio stations such as Heart and Absolute destroy music because they reward mediocrity. they design their playlists to be as inoffensive as possible to prevent switch over, they never aim to thrill or excite, just not to offend, which is shit.

Good music should always offend someone

Inoffensive doesn't have to mean bad.
They do what they do very well. It's just that I don't like it. A massive proportion of the population do. There's no point getting your knickers in a twist over it.

I suspect you look for something like sounding better than the album you have at home
whereas she likes something that can be easily recorded on her phone camera so that she can file it on her computer and never actually watch it again.

I fucking hate people who film concerts on their phones. I'm all for taking a couple of pictures if you're in a good spot, but why bother filming it? Adele live at the Albert Hall was on BBC3 the other night and although I'm not really a fan, when she did Rolling in the Deep it sounded like the crowd were really having a good time and there were still cunts with their phones filming not just her on stage, but other people in the crowd. Fucking cunts the lot of them.
