Let the fun begin…
I’m here! Aimee and I have been trying to decide what to write about all day long, and as it turns out, we aren’t too creative when we think about it too much. So, we have decided to go to the original idea which sparked this partnership in the first place. She and I have been on this whole “list kick” over the past week, and we’ve chosen as our new topic of conversation “songs that are played on the radio entirely too much”. Now, I know I have quite a list of those because the radio stations here seem to be playing the same 5-10 songs every hour, then they start all over again. There have been so many great songs out there that I’ve really liked originally, but by the time radio is through with them, I want to die every time I hear them on the radio. My latest one is that song by Three Doors Down, When I’m Gone. Look, I have 8 preset stations on my radio, and sometimes when I’m flipping through the stations (which I do constantly–thank God for the little button on my steering wheel) that song will be on 3-4 of the stations. It makes me think I’m losing my mind! Another one is Clocks by Coldplay. Let me just say that I LOVE Coldplay A LOT, but suddenly this song is on all the time and it is so not even their best one! A few weeks ago, you couldn’t have paid me to change the station when that song was on, but now I do because I know it will be on the next station anyway. Then of course there is anything by Justin Timberlake or any of those boy band people. Don’t even get me started on that one. Then there are some songs that I don’t even know, but they are on all the time and they sucked the first time I heard them so I changed the station and that is why I still don’t know the names of them. But, let me tell you, I know them when I hear them because, once again, they are ALWAYS on!!! Oh! I just thought of another one– Jenny from the Block. Look, we all know that J-Lo is anything but(t) Jenny from the block, OK? Her and her ruby encrusted toilet seat nonsense… please…
All I have to say is thank God for Pearl Jam. Yes, there are those few songs from Ten that radio stations still play too much, but the REALLY good stuff is on the CD’s and you don’t have to worry about getting sick of them because they don’t play them very much. Maybe I should get the CD player in my car fixed…
