The times they are a changing

The time change is really fucking with me. I'm grumpy and on a three second delay. Coffee just makes my teeth hurt. Okay that's my moment to complain. Now, let's get on to the real business of the day.
James Blunt is mediocre at best. First, I was annoyed by the song. Then, I sort of let myself like it, sang along, read about his soldiering in Kosovo, and then realized what I should have at the beginning. The hype is always about- look at this new unusual and first time ever to have anything like this in the world singer. And we have a new angle ta-da! I should have bought stock in wemarketsingers.com I would have been a gazillionaire.
A few years ago WCSB had a reunion of sorts. There were a bunch of parties, and in addition there were slots open to do a show of the kind of music that you used to play. My show was called Ugly Music and I looked at my old playlists and compiled a pretty well put together show albeit, there were some sloppy moments, but it was fun to do.
On one of my breaks I talked a little about what had been doing and where I was in terms of music and such.
I also shared my ground breaking theory about what makes music sort of a cure for many ills; that there is always a new song that will come out that you will love. Simple, yes but more than that. It gives you hope when you might not have any. Every month or so there will be a new song that you learn the words to, turn up on the radio, download or buy. That fact is enough to make me happy when I'm not.
You're Beautiful is not one of those songs.
