When it comes to musical enjoyment, I will never say that I have amazing taste. I cannot listen to country music, but I’ll listen to virtually everything else, and I have an unabashed love for Bon Jovi, 90’s hip hop, and reggaeton. Listening to my iPod on shuffle could get you anything from Jay-Z to Young MC, Eminem to Boyz II Men, Live to Maroon 5, and Queen to Rage Against the Machine. But there are some places I have to draw the line.
Unbelievable.
Is Right Round by Flo-Rida actually the #1 iTunes download? Is this really happening? Have you actually listened to the song? People are actually profiting from sampling Dead or Alive?
I’m not going to say that Flo-Rida is incapable of producing enjoyable music. Low was awfully catchy, and while it may have given way to terrible overuse of “boots with the fur” as a description of one’s choice of footwear, the song was hard not to dance to. But this? Right Round? You’ve got to be kidding me. Maybe it’s the fact that I can’t stop thinking about Dead or Alive’s You Spin Me Round, and the truly awkward music video, but Right Round just sounds like aural diarrhea. Wake up, music listeners. I haven’t got much more faith in humanity to lose.

No TMI Thursday this week, bloglings. Instead, a few lazily bulleted points. Sorry to disappoint, Sarah.
- Am I the only one who occasionally wants to suggest meeting up with someone at 7:23 or 6:27 just to mix things up? Why do we always have to start things on a quarter hour?
- Women of Facebook, what’s up with untagging photos? I’m not talking about the “I’m doing a kegstand and my employer might see it” picture. I’m talking about the “I look ridiculous, so I’m going to untag this” picture. Your friends that either took the picture or are in it with you have probably already seen you looking goofy, so what’s the difference between them seeing it live or in a picture? Oh, concerned about someone you don’t know seeing it? So what? Who are you worried about impressing?
- I may have finally reaccepted the Capitals into my life (I remember them more from the old red sweaters), but there is currently no room for the Nationals. You blow in here, Anthony Williams on his knees in front of whoever would hear him out, begging for support for a new stadium for the team, withhold $3.5 million in rent that you finally pay off in October of 2008, and you put together a product that until recently looked more like the Washington Generals than anything else (and still may end up looking that way this year). Sorry. Try again next year.
- As a Redskins fan, I’m not sure how I feel about this Terrell Owens being released stuff. On the one hand, it’s great because virtually every NFL fan hates Terrell Owens and feels good about him or herself when something bad befalls him. It’s also great because it means that Owens, still a dangerous receiver, like it or not, is no longer a weapon for Butterfingers Romo. But on the other hand, is it addition by subtraction for Dallas? Do they get better because of this in the long run? It’s obviously way too early to know, and way too early to give any serious thought to, although my initial reaction, laughter, may tell me all I need to know.
- Lastly, Rumors I’m On A Boat… 3 or 4 times.
- Examine the finer works of Dani Woodward.
I’d say it was a fairly productive night. So what’d I miss?
