Rant number 154
Today was Jubilee day.
Now don't get me wrong - there are plenty of things I could (and probably will) say on the subject. None the less, I shall not pander to popular consensus and shall stick to the norm - ipso facto: ranting about what bugged me most, not what bugged me most topically.
Today, as prophesied in yesterdays rant I had to do my 10th (and thankfully final) march of the weekend. It was cold, it was rainy - it was: in a simple word... grim. But that's not what I'm going to talk about (particularly as I covered most of my points on the subject yesterday.)
Afterwards, I had a couple of hours to kill and so me and some other band members wandered on down to the local watering hole for a few.
Now to start off with, there was some quiet background music - which was spot on, as we had various insults to trade and subjects to discuss.
A short while later, some jubilee festivities were to kick off - which meant that the music got a little louder. I wasn't in the mood, but it really didn't bother me much at all.
Until...
The real music disappeared and the Karaoke began.
I really hate to listen to Karaoke, its terrible.
It encourages those who just can't sing, to try - and in public. Gone of the days where people sung into their hair brushes in the shower to prevent everyones embarrassment. Now its all about getting themselves on stage - to try and fill the void of talent in their souls.
The whole thing is a bit of a sick joke. Even those with genuine talent seem awful with the terrible backing tracks and the lyrics running by on screen. Those without - well. It's just awful.
It's also inspired all of the terrible bloody TV talent shows, which says a lot doesn't it!
I hate Karaoke!
Rant over.
