The Express doesn't update their news before 9 apparently.
The Guardian however updates nice and regularly. Actually I think I saw news once at some ungodly time of the morning and it was up to date, though it still needs some work as concerns correct links, working links, archives and links to stories relating to the current story. Maybe it's typical of a news site, but important all the same. The news changes at least.
/start MTV rant
This morning I saw the video again with all the artists singing Marvin Gaye's
What's Going On. Really cool sounding - I'll even tolerate A-gorilla with her stupid lameass attitude. Even though in the song you can her her pushing herself in like the pest that she is.
Which brings me to list the singers I can't tolerate. Other than Aguilera (my more affectionate nick is A-Gorilla), Spears, Fagstreet, N'Stync, well you know the bopper pop people, then there are the older ones.
Mariah Carey is ugly. I saw her fleetingly on a MTV interview thing. Good god she's a horrendous sight. Yick. No wonder she had to have a boob job, no one would look at her face. Forget Celine Dion despite her octave. Ugh I saw her on the Telethon thing and I had run in the room to see whowas on, stewpsed and walked out. Nasty.
I respect that these lame/ugly/boring people have good voices, hell they are rich as can be, but I just won't buy their music. That's it.
You think I'm that bad huh? Heck no. Madonna, Janet, Eve, Pink, Gwen, Shirley Manson (as pale as she stands), and Alicia Keys are all very groovy and pretty etc.
Then we have a kind of borderline love/hate thing. There's Nelly Furtado. Mostly she sounds constipated, and for a pretty chic that's sad. I suppose it's her style and it's ok, but I hate that fucking Fly Like a Bird song. Give me a break. I'll sing along...these damn things seem to be infectious that way. Arggh it's evil!!!
I also love/hate J'Lo. She's pretty and I love her makeup. Some songs are alright but dear god where's the content? Do I hear ditz? Hmm.
Then there are the guys. I'm tired of seeing these damned white boys trying to be as black as they can be. You know they really want to burst out in a pop ditty.
Oh can''t forget the oh so typical tits 'n ass rap videos. Boringggg. I suppose not for the guys, but still. Blah. New concept already.
The bands that have somehow made it on the airwaves (we know how but we just won't tell), the overdone white trash punk/metal/whatever are likely to fade into the background and die after the first couple albums.
/end MTV rant.
I'm now listening to Ravi Shankar. Seriously good stuff. Bobby comes, drops this CD and says knock yourself out.
Ravi Shankar Full Circle Carnegie Hall 2000. Excellent. Then there's the more upbeat and equally cool,
Sangam by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Javed Akhtar. I need some of this to do my work. Plan!
