Today was a bit lazy, wasn't the nicest. It was a poor attitude, got up at 0930. You know how it is, it is lazy o'clock and you tend to fall back asleep before you know where you are. Next thing is you wake up at 1030, racing for trains, planes and a whole liqourice allsorts of transportation methods. That flung in it could even go as far as a dolly mixture. Anyhow, got to Central Station and headed out to university which was fifty minutes away. It is exciting to say the least, it isn't Hogwarts, no magic spells and any of that nonsense. Only spells is sunny spells, which is the usual for Scottish folks like myself. All I am saying is roll on Wednesday, viva brava.

I also remembered today how good the band Keane is, aye. People forget we were in the heat of a good musical scene when Hopes and Fears came out in 2004. Now we have to put of with severely bad diluted music like Ed Sheeran, Passenger and Taylor Swift along with ridiculous rap music by Kanye West, Drake, Dr Dre and even Snoop Dogg. What the bloody hell is a "Snoop Dogg" is it a dog that reads your latest emails in your inbox? Does he snoop around the bins looking for things like personal details from your bank account? Nobody knows, aye.

This is one of the reasons for hating rap, it has no sense. It is just edgy poetry, nothing more, you could add a beat of Beethoven, The Beatles or even Bach and it still would sound miserable as sin. It will not be good in my eyes, not today, not tomorrow, never. It is a curse of the music industry and many folk have bought into it hook, line and sinker.

Perhaps "it isn't their fault" I hear you call. Maybe so but there is enough rock music out there with more flavour than any of this offensive guff. This rock genre goes from classical to folk, folk to ambient, ambient to metal, metal to indie and indie to pop. There is something on this wide array of spectrum for everyone, literally there is a rock genre out there.
